My Music Episode 699 - Rorey

What happens when an artist stops trying to impress people and starts telling the truth?In this episode of MyMusic, Graham Coath welcomes New York-based singer-songwriter ROREY for a thoughtful conversation about vulnerability, creativity and the emotional honesty that sits at the heart of her music.Ahead of the release of her latest single, "Binary Thinking" (out 31 July), ROREY explains how the song explores the conflicting emotions that follow heartbreak. As she puts it:"I think we all want to stand on the belief that the other person will regret losing us, but I also wondered if I even mattered enough to be felt as a loss... Silence is open to interpretation, and the intention behind it doesn't change the impact."The indie-pop track blends lush acoustic guitars, expressive bass and memorable melodies to create the immersive sonic landscapes that have become ROREY's signature.During the conversation, Graham and ROREY explore:The inspiration behind Binary Thinking.Why she describes herself as someone who was "making sound" long before making music.Turning heartbreak into art.The fear of visibility in the age of TikTok and social media.AI, authenticity and why human creativity still matters.Why musicians need more than likes—they need genuine support.How music helps us understand ourselves and the world around us.It's an honest conversation about creativity, mental health, relationships and finding your voice—exactly the kind of discussion that reminds us why music remains one of the most powerful forms of human connection.ROREY has earned acclaim from OnesToWatch, Zane Lowe, LADYGUNN and Atwood Magazine, while her music has featured on major Spotify editorial playlists including Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds Indie, New Music Daily and New in Pop.If you enjoy conversations that go beyond the music and uncover the person behind it, subscribe to MyMusic, leave a rating, and share this episode with someone who believes great songs begin with real stories.My Music is sponsored by 13th Floor Sounds
