Lovers’ rock/reggae artiste Roe Summerz pours out his emotions on his upcoming EP, ‘ She Loves Me, I Think’, to highlight how a toxic relationship helps him to find love and stability.
“The songs came together naturally based off real-life happenings. While thinking about the experiences that created the songs and looking at my reality of what was going on with my relationship … it just all connected back to the statement ‘She loves me, I think,'” the singer explained to THE WEEKEND STAR.
“I now realise that I had to go through the toxicity to get where I’m at. Because I really know now how to really love a woman, after proving my love just to get back some love, and not getting back much love in return. It kinda make me stronger. It expands my endurance, my understanding, and my patience to the point weh mi know fi sure seh mi can love now,” he said. He added that the toxicity also helped him to learn how to let go of his ego.
However, he said that while he does not encourage people to stay in real toxic relationships that are abusive, he wouldn’t encourage people to be quick to leave a “fixable” relationship, as “time, patience and willingness to make changes will work itself out”.
Roe Summerz opined that the six-track compilation will guide lovers, or those seeking love, in identifying “red flags” in relationships and check the right boxes.
Adrian ‘Donsome’ Hanson said the project reflects the thoughts people have, but don’t always say out loud.
“From a production standpoint, the goal was to create a sound that felt intimate and emotional, allowing Roe’s vulnerability and storytelling to stay front and centre,” Hanson told THE WEEKEND STAR.
He expressed hope that it would positively impact supporters during this “season of love”.
“I want them to feel and see the realness and rawness of it, and to show that there are other people going through that, and it’s not the end of the world. I want it to help to also [normalise] acceptance and healing,” he said.
