[otw_shortcode_dropcap label=”H” size=”large” border_color_class=”otw-no-border-color” shadow=”shadow” square=”square”]e’s a hot 🥵 man. Did you see Ross Lynch [shirtless] in the “One of Your Girls” music video? Again, 🥵 🥵 🥵! Beyond his looks, he’s also quite talented.  Perhaps many know him best for his acting 🎭, but, he’s also a musician.  On October 20, 2023, Ross Lynch & THE DRIVER ERA unleashed “Rumors”.  The result = an alternative, indie-pop bop you didn’t know you needed! Lynch produced “Rumors” alongside Rocky, and Morgan Taylor Reid.[/otw_shortcode_dropcap]

“Rumors” kicks off in celestial fashion with warm, sustained vocals on the intro.  During the intro, Lynch provides a fabulous preface of the chorus: “‘Cause I’m on your tongue / And it’s just what I want.” What’s on the tongue? Rumors, of course! “Rumors” features sweet melodies throughout and an easy-to-follow form – verse, pre-chorus,  and chorus.  ‘McDreamy’ – I mean – Lynch, sings with a beautiful tone. Specifically, his melismatic moments are a vibe in their own right. The two sections of the song that stand out the most are the pre-chorus (“…Caught you staring, and I love it, it / Now she’s in my room”), and, expectedly the chorus.  The chorus is catchy and easily gets stuck in your head:

“These rumors, these rumors

You’re caught up in rumors

I bet you wish you knew the truth about the things I do…”

Ross Lynch is handsome – there’s no doubt about that.  But, if there was any doubt that the blond artist possessed musical talent, in his late 20s, well, Ross Lynch & THE DRIVER ERA bring the heat on 🎵 “Rumors.”
