Today, New York native and singer-songwriter ROREY shares the video for her new single, “Wish I Was Numb” — a dreamy, cathartic alt-pop confessional, premiering via Atwood Magazine. Alongside the video, ROREY is unveiling her sophomore EP, Dysphoria, out now via Killphonic.
Singing candidly about topics like her bipolar diagnosis and her relationship with her mother, Dysphoria is a raw and resonant exploration of mental health, identity, and survival — with songs for crying in your bed or dancing alone in your room.
As Atwood describes, “Wish I Was Numb” was "written during a mixed manic episode in the thick of the pandemic... the latest single off her sophomore EP ‘Dysphoria’ finds the 21-year-old cementing her place as one of New York City’s most captivating and confessional young voices.” Known for her emotionally raw and sonically immersive style, ROREY doesn’t shy away from discomfort — she leans into it, inviting listeners into her inner world with fearless vulnerability. With haunting melodies and candid lyricism, “Wish I Was Numb” captures the emotional tug-of-war between burnout and sensory overload — the disorienting push and pull of feeling everything and nothing all at once. It’s a lush, urgent pop track that feels at once deeply personal and widely relatable.
“I feel too much, wish I was numb,”
ROREY sings, delivering a hook that’s as infectious as it is painfully honest. Written during the pandemic when ROREY was just 21 and grappling with a manic episode, Dysphoria is a vulnerable, brave, and soft place to land. Co-produced by longtime friend and collaborator Scott Effman, the album offers not only a window into ROREY’s experience but a mirror for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by their own mind.
