"I don't want your love"
I Don't Need Your Name by Rosenfeld and from his "Red Room" EP is in one way a sort of standard blues rocker. It has the appropriate, maybe even cliche' double time piano, the serious crooning and the blistering blues guitar with swirling synth or real orchestration for added effect. Throw in a trap beat and step and repeat. It does not veer off into divergent places so in a way it is a derivative song but then, why on bloody Earth does it have such a gravitational pull. Simply put, it is not always the song or the structure, it is the performance and Rosenfeld has such a passionate croon, such a wet sultry lusciousness about his vocal performance that he sells it. He sells it in spades. Oh, and the choir near the end is a nice touch.

After the massively positive response his singles “Do It For Me” and “What Am I Doing Wrong?” have received, 21 year-old french classically-trained songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Rosenfeld announces the release of his debut EP “The Red Room”.
Through his obscure and dark lyrics, Rosenfeld makes the listener an active part of his music, where they project their own personality onto the lyrics and give them a personal meaning.
As with all of his previous works, “The Red Room” was produced and recorded by Rosenfeld. Mixing a wide variety of genres, from Alternative Rock to Trap and Dark Pop, Rosenfeld presents five noticeably distinct, yet homogeneous tracks, and makes it clear that he won’t be settling for a predictable formula anytime soon
“The Red Room” is set to be released on April 2, and will include five singles, counting the first three released in 2020 (“I Want To”, “stfu” and “True”).
Rosenfeld about “The Red Room” :
“The Red Room is a multi-dimensional EP. I didn’t want it to be just one thing, it’s a display of all the different sides of my personality. I think the best way to explain the idea behind the EP is to explain the different meanings the title had to me.
First, there is the sexual one : Most people who listen to my songs have found out about me through Do It For Me and What Am I Doing Wrong, which were two really sexual songs in their own way. I obviously love doing “romantic” songs, so sex had for sure its place in the EP. But it was also a way for me to announce you were gonna discover something I keep secret about me. You don’t show your Red Room to anyone, you show it to the one(s) you’re intimate with, revealing a part of yourself, and that’s how this EP feels to me : Showing what I am.
It is also echoing the “red rum”, the final song is a really brutal and dark conclusion to the EP, it deals with death, grief and other heavy themes. I have also always held the thought that love songs were the creepiest thing on earth if they were sung by someone you don’t love, and as someone who's known for writing sexually charged songs, that just makes it way worse.
Finally, it’s a reference to Coldplay’s second EP “The Blue Room”. I’m a huge fan of British Rock, as simple as that, and Coldplay were the ones I discovered it with. If you listen closely, you should be able to spot references to many british references like Queen, Radiohead or Coldplay.”
