LA-based pop singer-songwriter, Rosie Darling, is known for her signature flowing melodies and gut-wrenching lyrics. “Villain” confronts the notion that you can’t change people’s minds about how they experienced a situation. You may not be remembered accurately, but you can find some comfort in knowing that you gave it your all. She elaborates saying "Villain is about learning to be okay with being the “bad guy” in someone else’s story. For some people it is easier to blame others than to take responsibility for their role in their own suffering, and this song is my way of letting those relationships go instead of trying to continuously fix them. Once you learn that universal truth that not everyone will understand you and your heart, it is easier to let go." The song starts with a calming sample of waves & with a steady beat unfolds in a pop stream of consciousness around making peace with where she’s at. Rosie’s clear vocals evoke some of her favorite contemporaries including Lizzy McAlpine, Noah Kahan, & Gracie Abrams. Produced with collaborator Justin Gammella (FINNEAS, Ashe) and mixed by Yianni AP (Alexander 23, Jeremy Zucker).
