Some voices don’t just sing; they soar. Rotunes, the Cleveland-based pop sensation, doesn’t merely step onto the scene, she owns it. Drawing inspiration from the powerhouse women of the millennial generation, her theatrical roots, and the rich tapestry of the queer experience, Rotunes crafts music that resonates beyond the beat. Her recent track, “Get Me High,” released on January 17, is a shimmering ode to desire, wrapped in a synth-driven, 80s-inspired soundscape that refuses to be ignored.
The song opens like a dream; an enchanting swell of synth waves and pulsating bass that immediately transports you to an era where neon lights reigned supreme. It’s an intoxicating build-up, pulling you in with an irresistible groove before Rotunes’ voice takes center stage. Her vocals? Crisp, confident, and laced with an effortless charm. There’s a magnetism in her delivery—she doesn’t just sing the lyrics; she breathes life into them, making you feel every pulse of longing and excitement.
The production is a love letter to retro pop with a modern twist. The layered instrumentation, rich with nostalgic synth textures, creates an immersive experience that balances warmth and energy. The beat drives forward with an infectious rhythm, making it impossible to sit still. Every element, from the atmospheric pads to the crisp percussion, works in harmony to elevate Rotunes’ performance, proving that she understands not just how to craft a song—but how to make you feel it.
Get Me High isn’t just a song; it’s a rush. Rotunes has bottled up a feeling—one of euphoria, craving, and unfiltered joy—and delivered it in a package that’s both timeless and fresh. It’s clear she’s an artist with a vision, and if this track is any indication, she’s only getting started.
