At just 19, Japanese artist Rol3ert continues to cement his place as a rising force in the global alt-pop landscape with his third single, “HOPE.” Following the viral success of “meaning,” Rol3ert returns with a cinematic and emotionally charged track that blends nostalgic ‘80s rhythms with modern indie-pop sensibilities.
“HOPE” is a bittersweet reflection on regret and fragile trust, anchored by Rol3ert’s rich, expressive vocals. Drawing comparisons to the likes of The 1975 and d4vd, he masterfully balances vulnerability and strength in a performance that feels both intimate and expansive.
Lush instrumentation and polished production underscore the track’s melancholy glow, while the accompanying music video—featuring Rol3ert performing from the back of a pickup truck across open fields—visually mirrors the emotional journey at the heart of the song.
With the buzz from his recent remix contest still reverberating and early momentum across social media platforms, Rol3ert proves that emotional resonance knows no language barrier. “HOPE” is not only a compelling next step in his evolution—it’s a declaration that he’s an artist to watch on the global stage.
