It’s amazing what a little encouragement from your friends can do. In the case of Rob Roth, who prior to launching his music career was an athlete for decades, and whose friends encouraged him to give singing a try, he found himself being told he had a vocal styling similar to that of Chester Bennington. As the pandemic hit, he immersed himself in music – both writing and singing – and today, he has 32k monthly listeners on Spotify, and that number, as well as his following, looks set to rise further with the release of his new single “Headlines” which PopWrapped are delighted to premiere.

He says of the song: “Headlines” is a song about the person you love most who is naive to how beautiful and amazing they are. It’s that someone who, no matter the mood you are in, will always “Illuminate” you when they walk into a room. They are resistant to believing that they are incredible and shy away from being the center of attention. Regardless of how much they try to not be in the spotlight, they are going to make “Headlines” in your mind.” 

He adds: “I wanted to tell a story that many people from all walks of life can relate to when it comes to viewing your significant other in a relationship. Whether it is your partner, a parent, a friend, even just thinking about yourself in the mirror, so many people out there are extremely gifted and talented and, more importantly, are incredible human beings, but are afraid to lean into their potential. My hope with ‘Headlines’ is to inspire people to give encouragement to the ones they love and push them to believe in their greatness.”
