20-year-old singer-songwriter Rol3ert released his new track, '(how could i be)honest? - DAUL mix (feat.THAMA),' today, Friday, March 27, 2026. Following his selection for Spotify's 'RADAR: Early Noise 2026' and a sold-out solo performance at Shibuya WWWX, Rol3ert was named one of the 25 'Japan Representatives' for 2026 in Rolling Stone magazine's global 'Future of Music' project on March 24. This initiative, which began in the US in 2023 and expanded into an international project involving editorial teams from various countries and regions, has become a focal point for introducing next-generation artists. Previous US editions have featured artists such as NewJeans, Doechii, Chappell Roan, and Benson Boone. Rol3ert's inclusion in this context underscores that his presence is now attracting attention not only within Japan but also from a global perspective. The original song, '(how could i be)honest?', released last December, received significant acclaim, being selected for official Spotify playlists in 18 countries worldwide. This new release, '(how could i be)honest? - DAUL mix (feat.THAMA),' is a reimagining of that hit track. By collaborating with Korean producer DAUL and THAMA, a leading singer-songwriter and producer in the Korean R&B scene, the track is not merely a club edit. Instead, it incorporates new Korean vocals to reconnect the original song to a different cultural sphere. A new version has been born that retains the emotional core of the original while presenting a distinct new character.
