Rosendale released his debut EP (the "Fairytale EP") in May of 2017, which earned him his first million of combined streams on Spotify. The lead single, "Fairytale," explores topics of identity and self-discovery and features his unique vocal style combined with catchy house production. He continues to chase his goal of inspiring other Asian American artists and performers to forge their own paths and to be whoever they want to be.

Rosendale Lyrics

Welcome to a fairytale where sinners come to sin
Drink up all your money to forget the world you're in
Hi there, you must be new
Step right through the door
We don't care where you've been
Right there, hang your coat
Please take off your shoes
Just sit down and don't be scared
You have nothing to lose
Close your eyes now and I'll shut the lights
There's no ever coming back this time
Welcome to a fairytale where sinners come to sin
Drink up all your money to forget the world you're in
Welcome to a fairytale where sinners come to sin
You know you gotta get back out but we just pull you back in
Hi there
You know you gotta get back out
Welcome to a fairytale where sinners come to sin
Drink up all your money to forget the world you're in
Welcome to a fairytale
Welcome to a fairytale where sinners come to sin
Drink up all your money to forget the world you're in
Hi there, you must be new
Come meet all my friends
It's your dare so pucker up
The party never ends
Right here, settle down
Have a little drink
A deep breath for every hit
Who cares what people think
Close your eyes now and give up the fight
There's no place for you to run and hide
Welcome to a fairytale where sinners come to sin
Drink up all your money to forget the world you're in
Welcome to a fairytale where sinners come to sin
You know you gotta get back out but we just pull you back in
Hi there
Welcome to a fairytale where sinners come to sin
Drink up all your money to forget the world you're in
Welcome to a fairytale where sinners come to sin
You know you gotta get back out but we just pull you back in
The lyrics to Rosendale's song "Fairytale" depict a place where people come to indulge in their vices and escape reality. The lyrics welcome the listener to this "fairytale" where "sinners come to sin" and "drink up all your money to forget the world you're in." The tone is welcoming and seductive, promising a place where you can forget everything and be free.
The second verse continues to lure the listener in with phrases like "come meet all my friends" and "it's your dare so pucker up," inviting them to participate in the debauchery. The lines "Close your eyes now and give up the fight / There's no place for you to run and hide" suggest that the only way to truly experience this fairytale is to surrender oneself completely to it.

I just found this gem of a person today, and their old stuff is super good too! I never realised they were the singer on their song 'no friends' that I listened to for quite a while. I have yet to hear a bad song from them.
