RORY returns with a vibey new single and music video, “Off Road”, featuring the soulful jazz-fused stylings of Masego paired with the razor-sharp lyricism of Freddie Gibbs.

Rory’s evolving artistry shines through on this laid-back alt‑R&B gem. The track is built on a foundation of soft horns, crisp percussion, and dreamy synths—spacious yet groove-driven, it’s the soundtrack to late-night introspection.

The “Off Road” video takes inspiration from Apple TV+’s The Studio, offering a raw, satirical peek behind the curtain of music video production. The twist? Masego and Freddie Gibbs never show up, leaving Rory to spiral into absurdity as the set unravels around him. What begins as a normal shoot quickly morphs into a hilarious descent into chaos—equal parts meta-commentary and comedic breakdown, blurring the line between artistic vision and total meltdown.

Known predominantly for his role on the New Rory & MAL podcast, Rory (Rory Farrell) has steadily asserted himself behind the boards. He brings experience as a former label figure, music producer, and manager—currently guiding indie duo Emotional Oranges—into this new era of his artistry.

“Off Road” follows his previous single, “WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?” (feat. Leon Thomas), reinforcing a consistent tonal direction and hinting at a bigger creative arc in motion.

It's been two years since his debut LP I Thought It’d Be Different, making this release a promising indicator of a forthcoming project.
