Some artists sing about heartbreak, and then some make you feel it—Simón is one of them. The 19-year-old Miami singer-songwriter brings a fresh, deeply personal touch to melodic rap, blending raw emotion, introspective lyricism, and smooth melodies into music that lingers long after the final note. His latest release, “Roses,” out today, April 4 is no exception.
From the very first moment, the song pulls you into its atmosphere with an eerie, melancholic synth loop that feels like a late-night reflection—a soundscape that’s hypnotic, almost cinematic. Then, the beat drops. Heavy 808s pulse beneath Simón’s smooth yet urgent vocals, setting the tone for a track that captures the raw, unfiltered frustration of love turned sour.
Simón’s performance is a masterclass in emotional delivery. His voice glides effortlessly between vulnerability and defiance, capturing the push-and-pull of heartbreak—the pain, the realization, the moment of clarity. The lines cuts through the production like a dagger, a simple yet devastating question that lives rent free in the minds.
Jona Camacho and Alfonso Ordoñez’s production is immersive, layering atmospheric elements with crisp drum patterns and deep bass to create a sound that hits just as hard as the emotions behind it. The way the track balances melodic rap with moody trap elements feels reminiscent of Juice WRLD and The Kid LAROI, but make no mistake—Simón isn’t just following a trend. He’s carving his lane, bringing authenticity and a poetic edge to the genre.
Roses isn’t just another breakup song; it’s a revelation. It’s about seeing through the illusion of love, recognizing the game for what it is, and knowing when to walk away. And as Simón puts it, sometimes, the best thing you can do is save your roses for another time. With this track, he’s proving that his music is more than just catchy hooks—it’s a voice for those navigating love, loss, and everything in between. Welcome to Simón’s world. You’ll want to stay a while.
