The singer and songwriter known as
Roque has released her latest single, titled, “I Got a New Man,”
to the delight of fans around the globe. “I Got a New Man” is the
landmark first single from her upcoming debut LP album, “Loud
for Christ: Drown Out The Darkness,” the release date of which has
not yet been officially announced. An instantly arresting track that
combines pop elements with contemporary Christian themes, “I Got a
New Man” showcases Roque as one of the most exciting new performers
in both the Christian/gospel and secular music scenes today.
Roque's
name (which is pronounced the same as 'Rocky') serves her as both a
moniker and constant reminder for her fans, just precisely for Whom
she is passionately writing and performing her music.
“He's
my Rock,” she writes. “He's my Key.”
Though
her stunning, natural vocal timbre and crystal-clear singing style
recall the quality and expertise of singers such as Mary Mary,
Yolanda Adams, and Kari Job, Roque makes it a point that her mission
is one of praise, not that of a mere entertainer.
“It
wasn’t my intention to be involved in music at all,” she writes,
“specifically as an artist. Therefore it didn’t cross my mind
that I would be singing Christian music. [My album] 'Loud for Christ'
derived from an act of submission. I kept running until I couldn’t
run anymore. I knew what God had been saying to me all along; I just
didn’t want anything to do with music or the industry ever as an
artist. Until one day, just so I could obtain peace I answered the
call.”
She
names as main artistic influences the likes of Whitney Houston,
Pattie Labelle, Barbara Streisand, Melissa Manchester, Anita Baker,
Michael Jackson, and Mariah Carey. Her vocal range and precision are
remarkable and belong beside other sparkling chanteuses of her own
high caliber. Her delivery and lyrical prowess are further hallmarks
befitting a lifelong, star performer.
This
is no coincidence, either. As the first African-American prodigy to
join the Disney Channel’s Mickey Mouse Club as an official, leading
cast member, Roque is also part of the elite echelon of performing
artists that includes Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and
Britney Spears, all of whom began their climb to stardom with the
MMC.
“I
Got a New Man” by Roque is available online worldwide. Watch for
her upcoming full-length album release, “Loud for Christ,” in the
coming months.
