“Alone” by Rocket Pengwin is a slice of heartbroken synth pop that pleads for reconciliation while expressing dissatisfaction with a relationship.

Directed by Lorenzo Diego Carrera and produced by Margaryta Bushkin, the accompanying video finds Rocket Pengwin in a sensory overload dream-state on the streets of New York City.

Enthralled by the urban sprawl and the scale of the buildings, the city suddenly begins to morph into dreamy, psychedelic shapes before its eyes.

releases his new single “Doctor” on Ultra Music on July 24th. The single is a kaleidoscope of soaring power pop melodies and a juggernaut dance rhythm with an instantly memorable chorus. The song’s inherent optimism speaks to our desire to transcend the confines of the present moment.

“ ‘Doctor’ is a conversation I had with myself during a long period of self-isolation. When I wrote the song, I was coming to grips with the parts of my life I loved and missed, but also the parts of my life I wanted to work on,” shares Rocket Pengwin, “As much as I wanted to share my own story of introspection, I wanted to also paint a picture of escapism and freedom. I wanted to instill some hope and lightness in the story of the song, but also for the listener who will contextualize “Doctor” in their own life. It’s in moments of uncertainty that we could use a feel good song. “ Listen to it here. “Doctor” is a sonic representation of those moments when the sublime transforms the everyday and a celebration of our ability to shape our lives. His music is an endorphin rush packaged in a wall of sound, and an unself-conscious expression of joy and triumph no matter the obstacles that Eddie, or Rocket Pengwin, face. Rocket Pengwin has also shared a surreal and transfixing video for “Doctor”.

The video finds Rocket Pengwin in a sensory overload dream-state on the streets of New York City. Enthralled by the urban sprawl and the scale of the buildings, the city suddenly begins to morph into dreamy, psychedelic shapes before its eyes. Yearning to take flight from the world around him, Rocket Pengwin finds his way to a rocket that takes him to outer space where he dances among the planets – personifying the song’s anthemic refrain, “It feels like forever since I’ve been outside / Do you wanna fly? / Do you wanna fly?” perfectly. The video was directed by Lorenzo Diego Carrera of Yhellow. The first official Rocket Pengwin EP entitled Planet Earth is set for release on Ultra Records in September this year. Rocket Pengwin’s “Doctor” is out July 24th on Ultra Music! Rocket Pengwin is the creation of multi-hyphenate singer, songwriter, and visual artist Eddie Sears. A celebrated creative known for his bold, high-impact style, Eddie grew up in Italy and the UK, and now resides in New York City. The name Rocket Pengwin is a metaphor for resilience and discovery – the penguin can’t fly so it learned to swim. And with a rocket, there is no limit to what the penguin can explore. To bring the story to life, Eddie created a globetrotting human size Rocket Pengwin as a totem for the music. The Pengwin went viral in February, thanks to CBS catching a glimpse while he was riding the NYC subway! To date, Rocket Pengwin music videos and visualizers have amassed over 500,000 views on YouTube, Rocket Pengwin was tapped for a thundering remix of SOFI TUKKER’s “Fantasy”, and has delivered entrancing radio mixes for Ultra Radio, Los40 Dance, and YouBeat Radio with syndication to over 50 countries across the globe.

‘Unique’ opens with an enticing guitar solo before cascading into a surging melody.

The vocal overlay provides a sense of optimism buried by angst with the lyrics “Everything’s broken, but that’s how you let the light in”. Serving as the focal point of the song, the chorus “I’m unique just like everyone else, but I’m not everyone else” emulates the theme of the song and subsequent music video. ‘Unique’ features harmonious guitar elements, an edgy vocal offering, and throbbing bassline. Clocking in at three and a half minutes, the track showcases a blend of electronic and pop punk sensibilities, which are the cornerstones of the Rocket Pengwin sound. The music video follows the Pengwin across the boroughs as he gets accustomed to the subway, searches for an apartment, explores Chinatown and makes his first few friends. As we see the Pengwin face the struggles -and highlights- every New Yorker can relate to, it becomes clear to viewers that while he might have a bit more fur, he’s just trying to survive like the rest of us. ‘Unique’ paints a vivid story, both sonically and visually, of what it feels like to start a new beginning.

Stemming from a diverse music background, Eddie Sears created the Rocket Pengwin project as a mechanism to share his own story of finding a sense of place in rapidly changing environments, and the challenging yet rewarding process of settling into New York City. While spending countless hours honing his studio craft, Sears appeared across a number of NYC nightclubs including a sold out show at Mercury Lounge in 2019. Additionally, he debuted his live show at Nameless Festival in Italy last year. One of his notable recent releases, ‘Windmills’, received a vibrant remix from Havoc & Lawn and Danusk. As the project continues to evolve, Sears finds creative ways to blend a multitude of musical offerings into his compositions and further introduce Rocket Pengwin to the world. ‘Unique’ is the first single ahead of his forthcoming Planet Earth EP on Ultra Records. The EP is set for release on April 24th, conveniently in between Earth Day and World Penguin Day.
