Irish Indie-Pop weirdo, ROE, releases new single ‘Swimming Pool’. After taking a break throughout 2023, ROE is back in 2024 with a new collection of songs and a fresh outlook on songwriting, performing, and her place in the industry.
Here is what she had to say about ‘Swimming Pool’: “The world is grim right now. Maybe it always has been and it’s only now that I’m old enough to see it. But I can’t watch the news without it eating me alive anymore and when I don’t watch it then that’s ignorance.
“I wrote ‘Swimming Pool’ from a place of frustration and anger at the scary and horrible things I can’t control and the feeling that nothing I do will ever be the right call or be enough to make a difference.
“This song is an exaggeration of the dread that keeps growing as I get older and the sense of hopelessness that I just can’t shake. Cheery, right?”
