XanadumusiX keeps getting better with the addition of a new artist, RoHaNa. Her first single, “WHEN A BOY LOVES A WOMAN,” has a beautiful look at emotion, exposure, and connection. At just 23, RoHaNa makes a thoughtful mix of modern pop and atmospheric gothic sounds that is both personal and cinematic. Her studies in media and graphic design help her create an interesting world around her music, and this release shows how deep her art can be.
The composition shows a level of sophistication that lets its emotional core shine through. RoHaNa doesn’t rely on overproduction, instead, it focuses on clarity and space to create an immersive atmosphere that subtly draws listeners in. Her delivery is calm but exciting, capturing the delicate intensity of love and desire. Her style has a quiet power that lasts long after the song is over.

The result is a piece that feels real, has a great atmosphere, and is easy to remember. XanadumusiX shows that it knows how to find new and interesting talent with this release.
