Listen: Jordan Rakei shares new single ‘Rolling into One’

Jordan Rakei has shared the third track from his forthcoming album, ‘Origin’.

Released earlier today (21st May), the groovy ‘Rolling Into One’ follows previous singles ‘Mind’s Eye’ and ‘Say Something’ – both of which have received accolades from the likes of Annie Mac, Julie Adenuga and Jamie Callum.

Of his new jam, the New Zealand-born, Brisbane-raised musician says “this song is about embracing the mentality of acceptance and perseverance. Things will continue to happen and we can only look at the bright side to remain sane through the rise of technology and artificially intelligent systems. I wanted the song to be sonically vibrant and colourful but maintain its darker lyrical theme of a dystopian future.”
