Montreal afro-jazz musician Erockfor [eh-ROCK-for] turns the heartbreak of betrayal into art with her hypnotic new single 'I Thought You Loved Me' out now on all digital streaming platforms.
‘I Thought You Loved Me’ is the 1st single from Erockfor’s debut album Phoenix, which is set for release on October 1st. Erockfor wrote the song about the break-up of her marriage in 2014 which led to her moving to Korea where she gained confidence, started doing burlesque and became a jazz performer.
"What happens when you come home, and there’s a woman on your marital bed?" asks Erockfor. "You write a song about it! While the song explores heartbreak and betrayal, I also wanted it to be hopeful. We can leave toxic situations and be okay."
Erockfor is a Montreal-born jazz singer of Cameroonian descent. She left the city in 2014 and based herself in Seoul, performing at jazz clubs while cementing herself as a burlesque performer. Erockfor, also known as Rocky, has been featured in Popdust, MTV West Africa and XONecole.
Now, back in Montreal, Erockfor is working on her debut album Phoenix which fuses afrobeats, pop, house and jazz, and explores her journey between the time she left and now. Her highly distinctive voice has been compared to artists like Cyndi Lauper, Macy Gray, Erykah Badu and Amy Winehouse.
Erockfor's new single ‘I Thought You Loved Me’ is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more info, please visit erockfor.com.
