SOLA ROSA ANNOUNCES WHAT YOU NEED FEAT. BLUSH’KO - OUT NOW

Andrew Spraggon, better known as Aotearoa New Zealand’s Sola Rosa, has unveiled What You Need, the second teaser single from his forthcoming album, out Friday 13 February. Featuring Blush’ko, the track marks a deliberate turn into darker, more atmospheric territory, trading the easy uplift of Jupiter for a nocturnal pulse shaped by dance music and DJ-set culture.

Built on a sparse, mid-tempo four-on-the-floor groove, What You Need is driven as much by space as by rhythm. Blush’ko’s syrupy vocals float above the mix, while subtle production touches create restrained momentum. Keys player Jeremy Bennett helped shape the harmonic framework, and percussionist Matt Sawyer added unique textures, including a rare clay bottle, giving the track a distinctive, hypnotic feel. It’s intimate and deliberate — suited to both headphones and late-night floors.

The song came together in a single day. “It came together quickly, but it never felt rushed,” says Spraggon. “Once Blush’ko set the mood, the track seemed to write itself.” What You Need reveals a new, darker side of Sola Rosa, built on restraint, space, and a subtle momentum with hypnotic pull.
