Alexander James Rodriguez Explodes with ‘Cherry Bomb’
British pop star Alexander James Rodriguez has released his tenth studio song, and highly anticipated single ‘Cherry Bomb.’ Nicknamed in Brazil as the “hitmaker,” the teen sensation, who earlier in July released the popular Spanish- English summer samba song, Bella Loquita, and the fun 1984 Wham! cover Freedom has delivered yet another smash hit.
Written by Alexander James Rodriguez, along with Alex Jacke and Liz Rodriguez, the concept for ‘Cherry Bomb’ originated from Alexander’s love of strawberries, but he confessed in a recent interview, he couldn’t quite find the right lyrics, so he researched the berry family, and various metaphors. As a young writer, he began jotting down words that would later become the blueprint of lyrics and melodies brainstormed in the writing session. “I am so excited to be releasing ‘Cherry Bomb.’
The song is about that unique person, who has both beauty and an unparalleled firecracker personality that burns like fire in your brain. They are sweet and sour. When they walk into a room, they ignite it, and you are left feeling pure delight. They are the bomb!”
Official Music Video
The music video for ‘Cherry Bomb,’ released October 10th, was filmed with Alexander and four dancers, Isidora Villagra, Jedd Berina, Kaileia Dixon, and Mckenzie Cole, with choreography by celebrity dancer Marvin Brown, at a 1950’s diner in Downtown Los Angeles. 14-year-old Alexander James Rodriguez rose to fame at the top of 2021 when he received the ‘Rising Star Award’ at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, for his debut single, ‘My Crew’. Predominantly known as an actor, the teen transitioned to music at age 12 during the height of the pandemic last year. ‘Cherry Bomb’ from Alexander James Rodriguez is out October 1st on all digital platforms.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
