SOLA ROSA + AKOSIA
I first crossed paths with AKOSIA in 2023 during a writing session in Melbourne, arranged by his music publisher. I was heading into sessions with artists I didn’t know but thought could align with the music I was making. AKOSIA stood out straight away—there was this fearless vulnerability she brought to the room, diving deep into the material in a way that took me by surprise. Her lyrical, technical, and emotional instincts were razor-sharp, and we clicked creatively almost instantly.
Our second collaboration, Tears Roll Down, took shape on a particularly tough day for AKOSIA, after a fight with her boyfriend at the time. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to channel all that raw emotion into the song, but we decided to run with it. She already had the lyrics and melody worked out and knew exactly how she wanted the track to feel. It was a new challenge for me—I’m usually more of a beatmaker than a classic songwriter. But this time, we wrote the music to fit her lyrics and melody, and the result is something we’re both incredibly proud of.
