Multifaceted artist producer Rory returns with ‘Still Be Mine’, a smooth, groove-led new drop featuring BLK ODYSSY and Lucky Daye - three artists whose individual approaches to modern R&B come together naturally across a record that feels fluid, layered and genuinely collaborative.

Built around warm basslines, honeyed vocals and a rhythmic flow, ‘Still Be Mine’ leans into a slicker, more neo-soul inspired direction for Rory. The track carries the depth and layered production style that has become synonymous with his work, while BLK ODYSSY and Lucky Daye bring a funkier, more expansive energy that pushes the record into new territory.

Each artist occupies their own space within the record, but the chemistry between them gives ‘Still Be Mine’ a cohesion that feels instinctive. It’s rhythmic and understated, but still hits with weight.

Over the last few years, Rory has quietly built a catalogue defined by considered collaborations and a wide-ranging understanding of contemporary R&B and hip-hop. His music draws from across the genre’s spectrum, from alternative and experimental textures to classic soul influences and sharper rap production.

‘Still Be Mine’ follows a run of standout releases that continue to position Rory as one of the most interesting creative curators working in music right now. His September 2025 release ‘Off Road’ featuring Masego and Freddie Gibbs drew immediate attention for its seamless blend of jazz-influenced instrumentation, rap and melodic songwriting, while ‘WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?’ featuring Leon Thomas further highlighted his instinct for pairing artists in ways that feel unexpected but completely natural.

With BLK ODYSSY and Lucky Daye joining him on ‘Still Be Mine’, Rory once again brings together artists who are helping shape the voice of today's R&B scene while continuing to evolve his own sound in the process.

Outside of music, Rory remains one of the most recognisable voices in culture and entertainment media. Formerly known as a co-host of The Joe Budden Podcast, he now co-hosts New Rory & MAL - one of the world’s most listened-to music podcasts, reaching millions of listeners every month. Across both music and media, Rory has established himself as a creative whose influence comes from taste, collaboration and a genuine understanding of the artists and sounds pushing the culture forward.
