TJ-RØUGE is a newcomer to the alt-pop scene, and she’s making a splash with no holds barred. From the very start, she’s thrown herself into the deep end of human emotion, exploring that dark place where love and self-destruction are the same thing. Her songs explore the ideas of toxic love and romantic fatalism
“When the clock hits 2 a.m., and everyone else is asleep, she is awake, confronted by a truth that daylight keeps her from admitting.”
TJ-RØUGE’s “2 AM” is singing about knowing that someone is bad news and still choosing to be with them anyway. There is a very minimalist vibe going on with quiet piano and ambient background noises, but then the drums kick in with a trap beat that prevents the whole thing from getting too sleepy. What makes this track special is that it perfectly captures something that we may not always want to admit about ourselves. It is brutally honest, and it is exactly why this song is going to resonate with people, because we have all been there, or we know someone who has. We have all had that one person who is bad for us, but somehow we always seem to find our way back to them.
Hit play, dim the lights, and let TJ-RØUGE take When the clock hits 2 a.m., and everyone else is asleep, she is awake, confronted by a truth that daylight prevents her from acknowledging.
you into that 2 a.m. mindset where everything is a little too real for its own good.
