“I Know I Want To Know You All Over Again” is the debut concept album from writer and producer Rocco Antonio --
a deeply experimental and emotionally driven project built around one single lyric:
“I know I want to know you all over again.” - From that one line came an entire universe
Written and produced over years of creative development, the album explores how a single lyric can transform when interpreted through different lives, personalities, experiences, and musical styles. To bring that vision to life, Rocco Antonio created 12 fully developed AI-based artists — each with their own background, identity, influences, emotional history, and musical strengths. Every song on the album was written specifically for the artist performing it, allowing each track to feel authentic, personal, and completely unique. Rather than using AI as a shortcut, the project used it as a creative collaborator. The goal was realism — creating artists that felt emotionally believable, musically skilled, and grounded in their own worlds. Lyrics, production, melodies, and vocal styles were all shaped around the personality and artistic identity of each individual performer. Every track became its own story.

The production process itself pushed creative boundaries. Using AI-assisted composition tools, Rocco Antonio experimented with humming melodies, vocalizing rhythms, and creating sounds entirely with his own voice and mouth — transforming human-made sounds into fully realized musical elements. The result is an album that blends traditional songwriting passion with modern technology in a way that feels raw, cinematic, and deeply human.
Although this marks his first public musical release, music and songwriting have been part of Rocco Antonio’s life for over 30 years. Since first getting his hands on a PC, writing lyrics and building songs remained a private passion — one that existed quietly behind the scenes of his creative journey. Through this project, those ideas, stories, and emotions have finally found a voice.

Static Divide approached I Know I Want To Know You All Over Again like a collision between memory, obsession, and instinct — a return to the raw emotional weight of early nu-metal, but rebuilt through a modern cinematic lens. Their contribution to the project centers around the idea that sometimes connection happens before logic can catch up; that rare moment where somebody feels familiar the instant they enter your orbit, like recognition written directly into your skin. Thick distorted guitars, electronic undercurrents, live scratching, brutal percussion and emotionally charged dual vocals became the backbone of the band’s sound for the record — equal parts aggression, vulnerability and atmosphere.
At the center of Static Divide stands Jo, the UK-born frontman raised in the United States on a diet of Eminem, Linkin Park and early 2000s alternative culture. His writing style combines confessional honesty with explosive intensity, giving the band its emotional core. Opposite him is Luna Beaumont — classically trained harpist, pianist and vocalist from the influential Canadian Beaumont family. While her upbringing could have led her toward a polished classical career, Luna spent years chasing something far more personal through failed bands and underground projects before finding her place inside Static Divide. Her haunting melodies and layered harmonies brought an elegance to the chaos that became essential to the project’s identity.
The rhythm section carries stories just as powerful. Italian brothers Matias and Lucho built their reputation together across Europe’s underground electronic scene — Matias pushing experimental DJ culture while Lucho transformed live percussion into something tribal and explosive beside him. Their chemistry became a defining force within the band’s hybrid sound. Lead guitarist Angelo arrived in America carrying a past shaped by survival on the streets of Colombia, where music became both escape and lifeline. His guitar work bleeds emotion, tension and resilience into every track. Then there is Morgan — bassist, synth architect and one of the band’s most complex figures. Once viewed as a prodigy with a clear future ahead of her, her life changed permanently after a violent assault outside a venue at nineteen led to a prison sentence that would define years of her life. Rather than bury that history, Static Divide embraced it as part of the band’s truth: flawed people, scarred people, survivors trying to reconnect with themselves and each other through sound.

At twenty-eight, Ally has become one of the most uncompromising voices within the ROOQ Records roster — an artist whose music refuses to let people sit comfortably in silence. Rooted in hip-hop but driven by storytelling above all else, her work focuses on exposing the realities of abuse, exploitation, neglect and the emotional damage society often chooses not to confront. Ally’s writing carries a confrontational honesty that deliberately places difficult subjects directly in front of the listener. As she sees it, those living through trauma do not have the privilege of looking away, so audiences should not either. That philosophy became central to her contribution to I Know I Want To Know You All Over Again, where vulnerability and truth sit side-by-side with anger, resilience and survival.
Raised in London, Ally spent much of her late teens and twenties travelling across different countries and underground creative spaces, experiences that deeply shaped both her worldview and her music. Along the way she connected with people carrying stories often ignored or buried — survivors, outsiders, addicts, migrants, forgotten artists and those existing on the edges of systems that failed them. Those encounters became the foundation of her songwriting. Rather than presenting herself as a savior or spokesperson, Ally approaches her music like documentation: emotionally raw snapshots of people trying to endure impossible situations while still holding onto identity and humanity.
Musically, Ally blends stripped-back hip-hop production with spoken-word influence, cinematic atmosphere and emotionally charged lyricism. Her presence within the project adds a grounded realism that cuts through fantasy and performance. Fiercely independent in both mindset and execution, she has little interest in the traditional machinery of the music industry, believing the old gatekept system is already collapsing under its own weight. For Ally, projects like ROOQ Records represent something more important — artists building their own worlds, owning their own narratives, and speaking directly to audiences without permission from the structures that once controlled who deserved to be heard.

By the time I Know I Want To Know You All Over Again reached its midpoint, ROOQ Records producer and writer Rocco Antonio wanted to challenge both himself and the project in a completely different way. Rather than creating another traditional artist persona, he instead built an entire fictional film concept around a single song. Inspired by classic fantasy romance and the emotional structure of old Disney-style storytelling, Rocco imagined a live-action fairytale centered around a prince and princess from a beautiful, dreamlike kingdom — beloved rulers who fought fiercely to protect the people they loved. But like all timeless fairytales, darkness eventually found its way into their world.
The story follows the arrival of an evil witch who curses the couple and tears them away from their kingdom, sending them into the modern world stripped of their memories and separated from the lives they once shared. Unable to remember who they are or the love that once defined them, the prince and princess unknowingly move through ordinary lives haunted by a connection they cannot explain. Meanwhile, back in their forgotten kingdom, the witch seizes control in their absence. The emotional core of the concept became simple but powerful: two souls desperately trying to remember each other before the last traces of their love disappear forever.
From that idea came To The Very Last End — a cinematic love ballad written as the emotional centerpiece of the fictional film. The song captures the moment the curse begins to weaken; fleeting memories, impossible familiarity, and the terrifying realization that someone you barely know somehow feels like home. Built around sweeping orchestration, intimate piano passages, cinematic percussion and emotionally intertwined male and female vocals, the track leans fully into fantasy romance while still carrying the emotional realism that defines the wider album. Rather than parodying fairytale storytelling, Rocco approached the concept sincerely — treating the song like the soundtrack to a movie that somehow already exists in the listener’s memory.

Tom Mercer’s contribution to I Know I Want To Know You All Over Again carries the weight of someone who has spent most of his life chasing a feeling he was never fully able to hold onto. Born in the United States and shaped by years of drifting across America, Australia and Canada, Tom became the kind of artist who gathered stories the same way other people collect scars. Small bars, roadside venues, late-night motel rooms and endless highways became the backdrop to a career built around one central idea: the search for a love powerful enough to survive time, distance and disappointment. Somewhere along the way, that search slowly turned into heartbreak.
Now in his forties, Tom writes like a man who once believed completely in love before life taught him how dangerous that belief could become. After losing the woman he believed would remain beside him forever — a departure that left him emotionally shattered and directionless — Tom withdrew from the idea of love entirely, convincing himself it was safer to close the door than risk surviving that kind of loss twice. But instead of silencing him, the heartbreak deepened his music. His songs became reflections of men quietly carrying grief they were never taught how to speak about: loneliness, failure, regret, aging, emotional isolation and the quiet desperation of trying to stay strong long after strength has run out.
Musically, Tom Mercer exists somewhere between dark country, Americana and stripped-back rock balladry. His raspy, weathered voice feels less like performance and more like conversation — warm, tired and deeply human, like being handed chicken noodle soup beside a fire while someone finally tells you the truth about their life. Beneath the rugged exterior sits an artist layered with vulnerability and emotional intelligence, unafraid to confront the parts of masculinity many people spend their lives hiding from. Within the ROOQ Records project, Tom became the voice of reflection and emotional survival — proof that broken hearts are rarely unique, and that sometimes healing begins the moment somebody else finally says the thing you were too afraid to admit yourself.

At just twenty-four years old, KonTested represents one of the rawest and most emotionally confrontational voices within the ROOQ Records project. Raised in the schemes of London, his music was born from an environment where violence, crime and survival were not distant headlines but everyday reality. Gangs, police sirens, funerals, addiction and fractured families formed the background noise of his childhood, and long before music became an outlet, Kon was already documenting the world around him simply by surviving inside it. What separates him from many artists exploring similar themes is his perspective: Kon does not romanticize street life. He writes from the position of someone standing in the middle of it, watching people disappear while the rest of society barely notices they ever existed.
Much of KonTested’s work focuses on the emotional aftermath of violence rather than the violence itself. His lyrics explore guilt, grief, trauma, fear and emotional numbness through intensely narrative songwriting that plays out almost like short films. One of the defining moments of the project became the track Mum — a devastating story told from the perspective of a young man dying in hospital after being shot on the streets. As his life fades, his thoughts return not to revenge or reputation, but to his mother’s suicide and the unbearable weight of believing he failed her long before he failed himself. The song forces listeners into the emotional reality left behind by cycles of violence: the shattered families, the survivors carrying blame, the children growing up too quickly, and the fragile line between victim and perpetrator.
For producer and writer Rocco Antonio, the intention behind KonTested was never to create shock value or glamorize destruction. Instead, the goal was honesty — presenting street life in a way that stripped away fantasy and exposed the emotional wreckage underneath it. Rocco pushed the project toward full narrative realism, encouraging Kon to tell complete human stories rather than simplified cautionary tales. Together they built songs that confront difficult truths surrounding gangs, masculinity, poverty, suicide, grief and the desperate search for identity inside environments designed to consume people before they ever have the chance to escape. Within I Know I Want To Know You All Over Again, KonTested became the voice of those society often chooses not to see until it is already too late.

The Vandykes bring something deeply rooted and timeless to I Know I Want To Know You All Over Again — the sound of family, tradition and emotional honesty carried through generations. Born and raised in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, siblings Willow, Noah and Ryan Vandyke grew up surrounded by old-school Christian values, close community ties and the belief that the most important things a person can build in life are family, purpose and integrity. Long before music became a career, it was simply part of everyday life. Community gatherings, homemade meals, neighbors filling old wooden barns built by previous generations — these were the stages where the siblings first learned how powerful music could be when it came directly from the heart.
At the center of the band stands Willow Vandyke, whose weathered yet soulful vocals give the group its emotional identity, alongside her brothers Noah on drums and Ryan on bass. Unlike many bands built through auditions or industry connections, The Vandykes were formed naturally through a lifetime spent side-by-side. The three siblings have been making music together since childhood, developing a bond that feels less like collaboration and more like instinct. Their upbringing created a rare kind of unity; while many sibling bands become defined by conflict and ego, The Vandykes instead built their music around loyalty, protection and unwavering support for one another. That closeness bleeds into every performance, giving their songs a warmth and authenticity that cannot be manufactured.
Musically, the band blends traditional Southern storytelling with dark rock influences, creating songs that feel both intimate and cinematic. Their contribution to the album centers around the painful unraveling of a relationship from the perspective of a woman forced to watch the man she loved slowly walk away after years of neglect and emotional distance. Rather than framing heartbreak through blame alone, the song explores regret, accountability and the devastating realization that love can quietly die when it is no longer protected or appreciated. The Vandykes approached the track with emotional maturity and restraint, allowing silence, atmosphere and raw sincerity to carry as much weight as the lyrics themselves. Within the wider ROOQ Records project, they became the voice of enduring connection — a reminder that love is not only something found, but something that must continually be cared for before it disappears.

At just twenty-two years old, Chulip has already carved out a space that feels both underground and impossible to ignore — an artist whose presence exists somewhere between alternative pop, dark club culture and modern feminine rebellion. Born in the UK and now based in Los Angeles, Chulip approaches music less like performance and more like self-possession. Soft-spoken off stage but magnetic within her art, she represents a generation of women reclaiming glamour, beauty and sexuality on their own terms. For Chulip, looking powerful, seductive or hyper-feminine is not about validation from men or approval from anyone else — it is about self-expression, identity and refusing to shrink herself to make other people comfortable.
Her music explores nightlife, desire, emotional contradiction and the complicated realities women navigate within modern culture. Club scenes, after-hours conversations, toxic relationships, confidence, loneliness and power all collide within her writing, often wrapped inside cinematic production and emotionally charged vocal performances. Chulip understands the discomfort her work can create and intentionally leans into it. She views beauty as both armor and weapon — something society constantly projects expectations onto while simultaneously fearing women who fully control it for themselves. That tension became central to her contribution to I Know I Want To Know You All Over Again, where she chose to tell the story of a woman trapped between her “good” side and the darker impulses she has spent her life suppressing.
Rather than presenting femininity as passive or morally perfect, Chulip’s work embraces complexity. Her character within the album wrestles with temptation, emotional power and the question of why women are so often expected to carry the burden of being the “good girl” while everyone else is allowed freedom without judgment. Sexy, confrontational, glamorous and emotionally layered, Chulip brings a dangerous confidence to the ROOQ Records roster that contrasts sharply against many of the album’s darker emotional themes while still belonging perfectly within its world. As she continues developing her debut album with ROOQ Records, Chulip is quickly becoming one of the label’s defining voices — fearless, visually striking and unapologetically herself.

Raised in the Gilmerton area of Edinburgh, Scotland, Nic Sharp grew up in a world that was far from easy but never short on love. Raised by a single mother who did everything she could to give him warmth, memories and stability, Nic was known as the loud kid in the room — the class clown constantly distracted, constantly performing, constantly searching for stimulation without ever understanding why his mind seemed to move differently from everyone around him. For much of his life, that chaos was misunderstood both by the people around him and by Nic himself. It would not be until his mid-twenties that he would finally discover he was living with ADHD and was on the autism spectrum, long after years of impulsive decisions, emotional struggles and fractured relationships had already shaped the course of his life.
By nineteen, Nic had become a father for the first time, and again at twenty-one. His children and his family quickly became the center of his world — the one thing that grounded him when his mind felt impossible to control. But alongside the love came self-destruction. Nic openly acknowledges that much of his life became a cycle of building things he deeply cared about before eventually tearing them apart through unresolved mental health struggles, emotional instability and the weight of constantly feeling disconnected from the world around him. During lockdown, that internal pressure finally collapsed into a full mental breakdown, an experience that ultimately destroyed the relationship he believed would last forever. Forced to face life without his partner and the version of his family he thought he would always have, Nic found himself trapped between grief, regret and the painful awareness that some parts of life cannot simply be rebuilt once they are gone.
Musically, Nic Sharp channels those experiences into dark, emotionally exposed hip-hop infused songwriting that feels intensely personal and deeply human. His music captures the perspective of someone mourning not only lost relationships, but lost time, lost identity and lost versions of himself. There is a constant feeling within his work that he is reaching toward a life he can still remember emotionally, even if he knows it may never fully return. Rather than hiding behind performance or bravado, Nic approaches songwriting with raw honesty, turning themes like fatherhood, neurodivergence, heartbreak, guilt and emotional survival into stories that many listeners quietly recognize inside themselves. Within I Know I Want To Know You All Over Again, Nic Sharp became one of the project’s most vulnerable voices — an artist documenting what it feels like to love deeply while struggling against a mind that too often becomes your own worst enemy.
