Rising singer-songwriter Rowan Drake has released “Part Of You“, his third new single of 2023 today. Following previous releases, “Would You Do It Again?,” which arrived to nearly 7 million views across the song’s teaser posts on TikTok and “Elephant In The Room”, the new song touches on the insecurities that one feels around someone they love. Listen to it now below.
Speaking about the song, Rowan Drake said, “’Part of You’ represents the brief moments where I find myself hoping the person I love never finds more than me. That I am the love who she will compare others to for the rest of her life. It’s a selfish song that I hope conveys the dark times where our insecurities take over and make us hold on tightly to those around us. It’s important to shed light on these moments. Even if we aren’t proud of them. They exist. We are not alone in them.”
For Rowan, songwriting has always provided a space for transforming his feelings into unexpected beauty. Growing up in the small college town of Ithaca, New York, the singer-songwriter first discovered the power of that outlet when, at age 15, a devastating accident ended his dream of becoming a competitive snowboarder. After devoting nearly all his life to his snowboarding career, Drake began exploring his innate musicality by dreaming up his own hypnotic form of pop – moody, immersive, and fearlessly confessional, merging the intense introspection of classic singer/songwriters with a more forward-thinking sonic aesthetic.
The talented young troubadour soon began performing locally around his hometown, self-releasing his first song while still in high school. Upon graduation, Drake packed up his car and moved to Los Angeles where he quickly connected with an array of rising young talents and potential collaborators. Currently hard at work creating more new music to follow throughout the year, Rowan Drake remains determinedly focused on preserving the immediate impact of unfiltered expression through deep connection with his fast-growing fan following.
