Texas native Roman Rouge unveiled his new single "Nobody" on August 7th.

Written by Frawley and co-produced by Alfredo González and Leslie Johnson, the single narrates the desire for wanting a reciprocal feeling from the person you like.

“The song is about feeling and emotion. You can tell by the tone of the lyrics and the feeling of the instrumental. The song is really about sexual tension between two individuals and how their feelings when you feel there is nobody else in the world other than that person,” says Roman Rouge.

The promising single offers a captivating r&b record showcasing soulful vocals with memorable melodies.

Roman Rouge will be performing at the UNITED’s El Paso’s benefit show this Friday. All donations will go to the El Paso Community Foundation. Click here to purchase your tickets.
