Discover Rory’s “WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?” Single Featuring Leon Thomas

Coming off of the success of his debut project “I Thought It’d Be Different,” Rory (@thisisrory) returns to music with a new single “WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?” featuring Leon Thomas (@leonthomas), a rising singer-songwriter, producer, and actor, whose debut album “MUTT” has seen him become one of the most revered newcomers around.

The moment you press play on “WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?” you’re instantly immersed in a melodic landscape that feels both haunting and familiar. As the first installment of Rory’s highly-anticipated sophomore album, the song sets a somber tone, inviting listeners to reflect on identity and authenticity.

Musically, the piece is built on ominous chords that blend seamlessly with Thomas’ ethereal vocal delivery. The dramatic progression throughout the track keeps you hooked, making it impossible to ignore its underlying message. This song isn’t just about sound; it’s a narrative wrapped in melody. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of disenchantment with superficiality, where wealth and appearance are scrutinized, as highlighted in lines like, “You think that money alone is the root to being happy.” As the listener, you can’t help but ponder—what happens when you strip away the façade?

The poignant refrain, “Who are you anyway?” is both catchy and thought-provoking, striking a chord with anyone who’s ever felt disconnected from their true selves or from others. As the saying goes, we are often our own greatest critics, and “WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?” reminds us of that inner dialogue. The question lingers—do you recognize yourself? Or has the mirror become a stranger?

In conclusion, “WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?” not only showcases Rory’s growth as an artist but also challenges us to confront our identities in a world fixated on appearances. WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?” is not just a song; it’s an invitation to introspection.

In his own words, Rory explains, “The sound is certainly a departure from the last album, but it is a continuation of how things tend to differ from our original plans. ‘WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?’ represents the lack of clarity we have within ourselves and others; when we don’t ask the questions that we know will have uncomfortable answers. Leon Thomas is by far one of the greatest talents we have in R&B today, it was humbling and an absolute honor to work with him and be a part of his already incredible legacy.”

“I know the mirror would say, who are you anyway?”

Rory is formerly of the Joe Budden Podcast and is now the co-host of one of the most popular podcasts in the world, New Rory & MAL, with millions of listeners per month. Aside from this, Rory has been spending the past couple of years locked down in studios with carefully curated artists as he works on his sophomore album. The music project is a coming together of the podcast and Rory’s love for music from hosting talent on the podcast to now creating from scratch with them in the studio.

Rory gave listeners a taste of what is to come with his debut tape, “I Thought It’d Be Different,” a body of work that saw him collaborate with the likes of Ari Lennox, James Fauntleroy, Emotional Oranges, Pink Sweat$, and DRAM, garnering over 50 million streams to date.
