Taste Test: Rook Monroe travels to ‘Californialand’
The pop songwriter hits hard with a sticky groove.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Much like life itself, and the journey to find where we truly belong, Rook Monroe‘s “Californialand” is both happy and sad at the same time. His velvet tenor slides over the melody, calling you forward into his orb before the groove settles in. “Hotel California / Maybe I can finally get some sleep,” he sings. “I was gonna call, she didn’t know / There’s so much she don’t know about me.” Monroe has an irresistible quality about him; perhaps, it’s the way he sculpts melodies or shoots electricity from his fingertips ⏤ either way, he’s unforgettable.
“Californialand” anchors his new EP, of the same name, out everywhere now.
