We’re kicking off this week’s Fresh Finds with Erie native Rozei and his compelling new single, “last call.” Blending rock and country elements into a genre-defying soundscape, Rozei continues the momentum from his early-year EP i hope you're happy. “last call” reinforces his knack for crafting widely accessible songs that never sacrifice depth. With authentic lyricism and sharp, substance-rich writing, Rozei proves once again he’s one of the most refreshing voices coming out of our home of Erie, PA. We're hoping this signals the start of a new wave of singles—or even another project.
Next up is a striking release from Henrik, who returns with “Loved and lost,” a powerful reflection on heartbreak and the path to acceptance. Exploring themes of solitude, reflection, and moving forward, Henrik offers a masterclass in emotional transparency. In a time when vulnerability is finally being embraced in popular music, Henrik’s honesty stands tall—contributing to the continued rise of the modern folk movement with music that’s as resonant as it is relatable.
We close this week’s roundup with a standout R&B release from Sauce favorite Fresco Trey, titled “Listen To My Tears.” Fresco Trey delivers another heartbreak anthem, this time with ethereal melodies and haunting vulnerability. His dreamy vocal delivery paired with raw emotional weight makes “Listen To My Tears” a gripping listen—not just for fans of his catalog, but for anyone seeking substance in modern R&B. This is yet another reminder of Trey’s gift for crafting songs that feel personal and universally felt at the same time.
