Rollin’ by Cheyenne Giles: A Wild Ride Through Electro House Vibes
Let’s get one thing straight—Cheyenne Giles knows how to make you move. Her 2018 album Rollin’ is like that friend who drags you onto the dance floor even when you’re dead set on staying glued to your chair. It’s punchy, raw, and unapologetically fun. The whole thing screams “Electro House,” but it’s not just another cookie-cutter dropfest. Nope. This record has personality, grit, and enough energy to power a small city.
The title track, “Rollin’,” hits hard right out of the gate. I mean, c’mon—it doesn’t waste time with some slow build-up or moody intro. It grabs you by the collar and says, “Hey, listen up!” The bassline is infectious, thumping away like a heartbeat on steroids. There’s this moment halfway through where the synths spiral into chaos before snapping back into place, and honestly? That little twist gets me every time. It’s chaotic in the best way possible, like life itself sometimes. You think you’ve got it figured out, then BAM—something throws you for a loop.
Another standout is “Neon Dreams” (yeah, total vibe). If “Rollin’” is the wild party starter, this one feels like stumbling out into the cool night air after hours of dancing. It’s dreamier, more atmospheric, but still packs a punch. The melody floats around like neon lights reflecting off rain-soaked streets—you know those scenes in movies where everything slows down and you just feel… alive? That’s what this track does. It’s emotional without being cheesy, which isn’t easy to pull off. Plus, there’s this subtle vocal sample layered in that sounds almost like a distant memory. It gives me chills every damn time.
What makes Rollin’ special is its honesty. Cheyenne doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel here; instead, she takes the wheel, floors it, and drives straight into territory that feels both familiar and fresh. Sure, it’s electro house, but it’s also so much more than that. It’s messy, bold, and real—like someone flipping the bird to perfectionism while still delivering something incredible.
Released under Artist Intelligence Agency (shoutout to them for backing gems like this), Rollin’ might have come out in 2018, but it feels timeless. Like, if aliens landed tomorrow and asked us to explain human emotions through music, I’d hand them this album. They’d probably boogie too.
Here’s the kicker though—listening to Rollin’ reminds me why we need albums like this. In a world obsessed with playlists and singles, it’s refreshing to dive into something cohesive yet unpredictable. So yeah, go ahead and crank this sucker up. Just don’t blame me if your neighbors start banging on the walls.
