The three tracks have picked up a huge amount of support on TikTok, with combined views of 29 million, and 77,000 uses of the songs. RØRY has over 3.7 million views of her previewing the filter she made for ‘the apology…’ and across all her videos, she has over 3.1 million likes and 326,000 followers on her TikTok.
Family Drama features the new, previously unheard lead single, Black Hearse and today RØRY reveals the official video, watch here. The video sees RØRY perform the song with her band in an abandoned house while in a torn wedding dress. Speaking of the track, RØRY says, “Welcome to anti-manifesting… let me explain. I wrote this song THREE WEEKS before meeting the person I was going to marry… they say it happens when you least it expect, and for me that was 100% true. This song is about how I would literally rather die then ever get married. I didn’t believe in it, and had zero interest in it, for reasons explained in the song. Scream it loud if you’re single…”
Discussing the 8 track EP, RØRY explains, “There is a proverb that says “the child who is not embraced by the village, will burn it down to feel its warmth”. That sums up this EP. It’s my messy attempt at making sense of a broken home, of addicted adults, of zero accountability, and of always being the one that is blamed.”
RØRY continues “I come from a dysfunctional family, where the absolute worst thing you can ever do is tell the truth. Mentioning the long term affair between my father and step-mother led to a breakdown in our relationship. But… their secrets are not my secrets. This EP is me finally giving a voice to the girl who has been silenced and shamed for simply having difficult emotions in the face of affairs. Rage, sadness, regret, grief… these are the words that come to mind when I think of my family of origin. And I know I am not the only one.”
RØRY has also announced their headline UK tour in February and March 2024. The tour will kick off in Bristol at Thekla on the 26th February then continue around the country hitting Cardiff, Norwich, Nottingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle, Birmingham before wrapping up in Brighton on the 11th March. The tour will see RØRY play London’s Electric Ballroom on the 29th February. Full dates are below and tickets are available to buy here.
RØRY is taking the alternative scene by storm. Since performing her first UK headline show in 2022, she has amassed a huge following in a short period and has over twenty million streams on Spotify alone. RØRY began her career as a platinum-selling songwriter and has written three UK Official Charts Top 10, amassing over a billion streams for records like Post Malone by Sam Feldt, and OUT OUT by Joel Corry and Charli XCX. After the passing of her mother when she was 22, RØRY struggled with addiction but is now five years sober. Her stage name RØRY is a combination of her first and last name, Roxanne Emery, representing the time she lost to addiction and mental health struggles. In 2021, she was diagnosed with ADHD and created an extremely popular TikTok channel, ADHD Love with her husband. Showing their day to day life with ADHD, the channel has picked up fans from all over the globe and has over 700,000 followers and 26 million likes on TikTok alone. At a stage in her life where she has found acceptance, her resilience has left her passionate to help others and connect with her audience.
