Kaleo Share New Single ‘Rock N Roller’
Today, multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated Icelandic rockers KALEO have shared their new single “Rock N Roller,” which is available now on all streaming platforms. After performing the fan-favorite as part of their encore at countless shows since their inception, the band decided to record and release the song for their fans around the globe.
Speaking about “Rock N Roller,” KALEO’s JJ Julius Son shared, “I wrote it during the early days of KALEO. We started playing it right away and have been performing it in our set ever since, usually as the last song at our shows. When we went into the studio for our upcoming album, we all decided it was time to record a proper version of the track and finally release it to the world.”

“Rock N Roller” follows the band’s recent single “Lonely Cowboy” which was accompanied by a stunning performance video shot inside Rome’s Historic Colosseum – watch it HERE. The standalone track notably marked the group’s first new original music in three years. “Lonely Cowboy” hinges on a softly plucked acoustic guitar and sparse orchestration, while gruff, yet warm vocals remain the guiding force. “Guess it’s time to say goodbye to the rider of the night” sings vocalist, guitarist, pianist, songwriter, and producer JJ Julius Son as he paints a vivid picture underscored by a proud and intentional homage to Ennio Morricone.
KALEO recently celebrated their 10th anniversary by delivering a stunning live performance before 250 of their biggest fans at the Archeological Park of the Colosseum, Rome, and in the shadow of the world-famous amphitheater. With the performance, KALEO joined the ranks of Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, The Cure, Elton John, and Paul McCartney as the only artists to ever perform an electric concert in front of the iconic monument. Presented by VERTIGO LIVE, a leading producer of cinematic live experiences, the momentous night was captured on film and will be released as KALEO: Viva Roma in the Shadow of the Colosseum later this summer – watch an official teaser HERE.
