Rorey has dropped her new single, “Wish I Was Numb”, the second song off her forthcoming album Dysphoria, available August 15 via Syd Butler’s new label Killphonic. The New York City artist is recognized for her emotional and and melodic sound.

With haunting melodies and heartfelt lyrics, Rorey channels every emotion she feels directly into her music. “Wish I Was Numb” is no exception. The track captures the tension between emotional overload and total burnout—the push and pull of wanting to do everything and nothing all at once. It’s a dreamy yet urgent pop track that feels both deeply personal and widely relatable.

Dysphoria was written during the pandemic, when Rorey was just 21 and reeling from a manic episode. Co-produced by her longtime friend Scott Effaman, and Mixed by Nathan Philips (spill tab, omar apollo, still woozy, jean dawson) the album is a deeply personal exploration of mental health, identity, and survival.
