RØRY
High-octane pop-rock that hits like a therapy session. Cathartic, guitar-driven anthems about sobriety, family trauma, and the grit of starting over.

RØRY (Roxanne Emery) is a British singer-songwriter whose career represents a significant pivot from behind-the-scenes pop craftsmanship to front-facing alternative rock icon. After a decade as a platinum-selling songwriter for dance and pop acts, Emery rebranded as RØRY to document her journey through addiction and recovery.
Her sound is a sophisticated blend of pop-punk energy and alternative rock grit, characterized by high-production values and a 'confessional' lyrical style that avoids metaphor in favor of stark reality. Culturally, she has become a figurehead for the 'sad girl' aesthetic within the UK alternative scene, specifically resonating with millennial audiences who value her transparency regarding mental health and ageism. Her work is often categorized alongside the 'emo revival' but is distinguished by its mature perspective on long-term sobriety and generational trauma. Critical consensus highlights her vocal power and the structural integrity of her songwriting, which reflects her years in the professional pop industry while maintaining the raw emotional stakes of independent rock.
