A perfectly pitched girl-power (or revenge) song, Something ‘Bout You is the hottest new dance track from up-and-coming pop artist Roonie.

Following on from the release of Alibi - announcing her arrival onto the dance-pop scene, and the first single from her upcoming EP - Something ‘Bout You is sure to solidly position Roonie as an artist to take seriously in this space. The skilful composition, powerhouse pop vocals and production all combine to make this a killer track for every dance floor - home, club or festival. Curiosity is sparked by the very first moment of this track - which sounds like it could be some type of steel drum or electronic wind-chime - but is achieved using an arpeggiator, a synthesizer feature.

Roonie says Something ‘Bout You is the darker song from the EP, and that she wanted it to be the follow-on from Alibi with its catchy melodic hook and dance feel, as well as “being heaps of fun to perform live with a full band”. She says that Something ‘Bout You came about from a conversation with co-producer Will Henderson.

“We were chatting about the feeling of finding out someone is not as ‘cool’ as you thought. We liked using language like this so the lyrics feel like a spoken conversation. The whole song is kinda drenched in a humorous undertone of realisation like ‘Wow, I really thought you were cool, but I’m doing so much better without you’ - savage, I know, but that’s the fun of songwriting, you can sing things you never might really say!”

Something ‘Bout You was mastered by Chris Chetland of KOG Studios. Roonie says she always appreciates the ‘warmness and fullness’ he adds to her tracks.
