The pandemic caused a lot of heartache including 2020 accumulating the most breakups nationally and internationally compared to the last three years according to Dating.com. Sixty-seven percent of users reported a breakup in 2020 compared to 34 percent from the prior year. Whether it’s during a global pandemic or not, breakups are difficult and often result in intense grief and anger that feels never-ending. Rojas sings of a different way to heal heartbreak in “Good Times.”

“A powerful way for getting over a breakup is to reminisce those good times that you had because there are more to come,” said Rojas. “It’s easy to fall into the perception of, ‘Oh this is treacherous, and I’m never going to have that again,’ but it’s the opposite. That’s always helped me get over the hurt from breakups instead of ignoring all of that shit that is hard to deal with.”

In all parts of his life, he takes something that is negative and flips it into a positive. This self-care practice began from necessity. Growing up around gangs, Rojas had to learn to be resilient through all the loss, abuse, and depression he experienced. He dedicates Rare Hearts to others who have struggled similarly and encourages them to embrace their imperfect self.

Recorded during the pandemic with his producer Sam Sobo using Zoom, Audiomovers, and socially distanced in-person sessions in Rojas’ backyard – his place is on the same grounds as a recording studio.
