Welcome to BuzzMusic OneUpDuo, what an engaging and exciting venture you've taken us on with your latest single, "N'EAUX." What inspired the song's empowering and honest lyrical content? Thank you so much! We love to write from real-life experiences and the lyrics for N’eaux are no exception. We started to take stock of all the ways we had been over-extending ourselves in both personal and business relationships and realized the need to feel empowered to say “no” when “yes” is simply unsustainable. The song is a reminder for listeners to protect their time and energy and, in a way, it’s a love letter to anyone who has been described as being “nice to a fault.” Could you break down how your duo tackled the creative process for "N'EAUX?" How did you begin formulating the song and navigating the vibe and sonic atmosphere? We wrote the majority of the lyrics and melody for N’eaux before collaborating on FaceTime with another duo we ADORE, @breakoutthecrazy. At that point, we were able to collectively refine the lyrics, solidify the form, and discuss the production style we wanted. We have been steeped in disco music over the past couple of years and it seemed like a no-brainer to marry this straightforward message with an uplifting nu-disco sound. Shout-out to Chris Hierro for killing it on production! How did you want to make the listener feel after experiencing "N'EAUX?" What sort of listening experience did you want to offer? We want our listeners to feel empowered and invigorated after listening to N’eaux! We love dance music that offers thought-provoking lyrics wrapped in production that feels like a thrill ride. Do you usually release such high-energy and infectious dance tunes like "N'EAUX?" What subgenres and sounds does your duo normally explore? In short, yes! N’eaux is a follow-up to our first high-energy dance single called TRN IT UP which was remixed by Grammy award nominee StoneBridge and DJ Lil’ Joey. Aside from the nu-disco genre, we have a pop/soul song entitled Call My Name and an original holiday song called Let Me Come Home. Both songs showcase our voices through soaring, tender melodies and feature a more laid-back production style. What's next for you? Next up - shows and more new music! We can’t wait to get out there and meet our fans and followers as the world continues to open up and we solidify a tour schedule. Instagram Facebook

Welcome to BuzzMusic Yung Rogue, what a beautiful and heart-wrenching single you've released with "Betrayal." What compelled or pushed you to create this emotion-evoking single? Thank You! I definitely appreciate that, this song came from one of my therapy sessions actually…Mental Health and healing are so important to me, as far as understanding my feelings and why I feel that way, and in my session, we discussed how I felt about walking away from a friendship I thought that I HAD to stay in. We often overlook that friends can break hearts too, and sometimes we gaslight ourselves thinking that because we’ve been friends with someone for years we’re obligated to stay no matter what. But, sometimes you have to choose yourself over everything. Did you create the dense production for "Betrayal?" Why did you want to capture this moody, compact, and intense sonic atmosphere? Yes, I created the production, initially it was faster, but I decided to slow the tempo down to create a story, to feel the mood of the lyrics, and even trigger my audience to think about it, in the sense that you are not obligated to stay in any -ship that drains your energy. We highly appreciate your vulnerability in terms of your lyrics within "Betrayal." What was your songwriting process like? Was it difficult for you to open your heart and mind for the public to listen? Some of the greatest pieces come from emotional situations, and I always want to stay true to my whole reason for being an artist, making music from personal experiences in the hopes that someone that might be listening will get that feeling of being understood. Vulnerability, I learned, isn’t a weakness, it’s actually one of the strongest tools we have. Knowing that you’re sharing this delicate part of you and understanding that some will love it and others won’t but be transparent anyway… that’s real. And people need that! The writing was a bit difficult this time, I rewrote this song about 3 times, lol I didn’t want to get TOO personal, and I didn’t want it to be general so I took bits and pieces of the different versions and put them together. It was therapeutic because I felt like I needed to release that part of me, and it was emotional as well, reliving those specific moments to try to convey the emotion as close to the real events as possible. When creating the entire sonic atmosphere and lyrical content for "Betrayal," did you have any artistic influences in mind? Did any exterior musical influences help inspire the sound and feel of this single? I rarely listen to the radio because it’s way too many commercials but one day I was driving home and I wanted to hear something different than putting my phone on shuffle, so I put the radio on and Lil Tjay ‘s “Calling My Phone” came on and I instantly connected with the vibe, the lyrics, the emotions. I got home and I couldn’t get the melody out of my head, so I’m like hey, let’s see if I can create something similar and the production just came together in my head. Sometimes it’s good to get out of your comfort zone and try something different so I went with it and I’m really excited and happy with the way the song came out. What's next for you? I’m currently working on my next EP, I’ve been doing a lot of self-actualization and I want the totality of my next project to showcase me as a person, and not just specific events that have happened in my personal life. YungRogue is happy too! Lol, it’s gonna be fun, vibey, and just a different perspective for me. I’m excited to share that side of me with the world too. Instagram

How excited are you that "Toxic" has now dropped? What was the songwriting and recording process like for you? I'm very excited! It's a really dope song. The process for me was very easy because everything was so raw and real. Just speaking about a topic I've been through many times, so it was very easy for me. The song was originally gonna be on "All Roads To Hollywood" but I ended up having to scrap it. So, originally this song was "Side Feelings Pt. 2", but after not making the album I had to wait for the right moment to release it. Would you say that your initial vision for "Toxic" was accurately carried throughout start to finish? I definitely would. I wanted to just get my feelings off my chest, and my boy BamBam delivered the perfect beat to do so.

It's almost as if the words were just flowing through me, and that's when the best music is made. What kind of message did you want to speak out with the release of "Toxic?" I just wanna speak up for anybody that's been in a toxic relationship/situation. Man or woman, men can get hurt too, and I feel like this song is definitely me tapping into a softer side and wearing my feelings on my sleeve. This is a song that I think will live forever for years to come because it's a situation that SOMEONE will always be going through. Instagram Facebook
