Rozes discusses Chainsmokers & creating "Roses"
Rozes On Creating “Roses” With The Chainsmokers
Quote:
Creating “Roses” has been an overwhelmingly positive experience for Rozes, who will always look back on the work fondly. “I think it will always mean the start of my career and the start of my love. I mean, it’s about falling in love and that’s really what showed me how to fall in love with the industry and how it’s got my back and it’s just the start of beautiful beginnings I guess.”
Q: What was it like working with The Chainsmokers to create "Roses"?
So I met The Chainsmokers via Twitter; they followed me back when I was like in my college grocery store, and so I followed back obviously. And then, they direct-messaged me saying, ‘I love your sound, and we would love to write with you and collaborate with you.’ So, they sent me a few tracks, and I usually like to work in person, because I like relationships and then it creates an emotional bond towards the song, so we ended up working in Manhattan in Drew’s apartment and I had a few concepts in mind just in case they did wanna work on the things that they had prepared. So, my initial concept was the first time you’re falling in love with somebody, because I had just met my boyfriend at the time; so we just kinda vibed off of that and I guess “Roses” just kinda came about. They’re great, I mean they’re goofy guys. Immediately we hit it off the bat, they have a great sense of humor and it kinda just felt like I was hanging out with my best friends for the day. We ordered Chinese food when we got hungry, and I’d say it was like four hours long until we were like, ‘I think we got a song.’ We spent more time eating than we did writing, I think.
Q: Why do you think the song has been successful?
I think the lyrics pulled a lot of people in. But, I also think the formation of the drop that they put in, where it wasn’t the traditional dancey dubstep kind of drop, and it didn’t sound like a remix of any sort, it kind of just was its own genre of drop, if that makes sense.
