Rella is kicking off an exciting 2023 with his new single, “ROCKSTAR“, out today. Following a massively successful 2022, “ROCKSTAR” is accompanied by aa music video directed by, and exclusively featured on, the incredibly popular underground YouTube channel Astari (345M total channel views). This is Rella’s first ever placement on Astari, a platform that discovered and featured early music from artists such as Lil Peep, xxxtentacion, 6dogs and smrtdeath. Listen to the song now below.
Showcasing Rella’s dynamic sound, “ROCKSTAR” perfectly straddles the line between the raw authenticity of bedroom pop and the melodically emotional yet catchy delivery of contemporary rap. The song, which is written about a past relationship, remains deeply grounded in the independent artistry that has defined Rella’s journey thus far, both through its bedroom-studio recording, and through its mixing and mastering being completed by Rella himself.
“ROCKSTAR” is only the first release in an already stacked catalogue for 2023, with the next release in March featuring popular LA artist Tommy Ice (700K monthly listeners). Rella also gave his very first interview recently on the INSANITY podcast, and with the episode dropping a week before “ROCKSTAR” it allows a perfect lead in to the tracks release. With Rella’s passionate commitment to his craft and steadily increasing fanbase: 2023 could well be the breakout year for the young independent artist.
