Australian psychedelic rock solo artist Serena Rose release new single »Wild One«; available now on all major streaming platforms!

Australian psychedelic rock solo artist Serena Rose has released her new single »Wild One«, available now on all major streaming platforms.

»Wild One« was created from a secluded cabin in the Byron Bay hinterlands of Australia, surrounded by deep forest and mystical creeks that shaped the song’s atmosphere. Created with reverb drenched guitars and ethereal lead vocals, the song unravels over steady drums and a grounding bass line. Mixed and mastered by Michael Paul Stavrou, »Wild One« holds a slow burning, cinematic atmosphere.

Serena Rose is a singer, songwriter and producer blending dark psychedelia, emotive rock, and atmospheric soundscapes.

Australian cinematic-psychedelic artist Serena Rose shares her new single »Wild One«. Drawing on her background in film scoring and composition, Serena’s music is led by mood and texture rather than conventional narrative, focusing on atmosphere, stillness and emotional detail.

Before launching her solo project in 2021, Serena studied music and audio and began working within film and screen composition – an influence that continues to shape her sound. Her recordings favour space and tone over density, combining slow-burn guitar work with restrained arrangements and a strong visual sensibility.

Often compared to Mazzy Star, her work also reflects the expansive dynamics of artists such as Radiohead, John Frusciante and All Them Witches.

»Wild One« was written while living in the Byron Bay hinterland of eastern Australia and reflects the physical environment that surrounds her. Built around drifting guitar lines and minimal percussion, the track captures a quiet moment of reflection rather than a traditional song structure, prioritising feeling and place.

Serena explains: “For this song I kept seeing the same setting – creeks, wet forest, fog after rain. It’s a calm, solitary space and I feel the music as being inside that landscape rather than describing it.”

Written in a single burst of inspiration, the recording leans into natural space and restraint. Guitars stretch across the stereo field while subtle rhythmic movement anchors the arrangement, allowing the production to create a sense of physical environment rather than performance.

With »Wild One«, Serena Rose continues to develop a sound that sits between psychedelic songwriting and cinematic composition, positioning her as a quietly distinctive voice within Australia’s emerging atmospheric and dream-leaning alternative scene.

»Wild One« is out March 20th, 2026.
