With “Fever,” Rook Monroe opens a new chapter ahead of his upcoming EP “Slim,” out November 21 under Warner Records. The track takes listeners on a psychedelic journey where rock and rap intertwine to create a song that feels calm, fluid, and hypnotic, capable of turning chaos into art.
Rook explains that at first listen, “Fever” may feel like a psychedelic drift, a haze of sound and sensation. Beneath that surface, there is something much greater. He shares his documented encounter with the interstellar unknown as he moves through the temples of ancient Egypt, the chronicles of Rome, the Nihon Shoki of Japan, and the sky battle of Nuremberg. He traces a path from Halley’s telescope to the edge of cosmic revelation and opens the door between myth and contact, declaring once again that we are not alone.
The references to these supernatural experiences, sightings, and ancient myths turn the song into a modern ritual. It stands as an open declaration to the unknown and an invitation to accept mystery as part of life itself.
The single comes after the explosive “Brrrt” and “i don’t wanna be you,” where Rook made it clear that his music cannot be confined to a single box. Unlike those tracks full of unrestrained energy, “Fever” works as a breath of air, an introspective pause that sets the stage for “Slim.” The artist does not seek instant impact but aims for complete immersion, crafting a sound that seems to emerge from another frequency.
Rook Monroe emerged by chance and transformed his instinct into intention, carving a path defined by artistry and emotional precision. After writing for icons like Rihanna, The Chainsmokers, Aminé, and Jeremih, the Chicago native has evolved into a visionary voice of his own.
