Newcomer Roken has delivered the perfect weekend jam in the form of his debut single "Comfortable," which arrived Friday.

It's a lush, warm offering from the New York artist who was born and raised on Long Island, the son and grandson of a rock singer and old record label owner, respectively.

"One of my favourite things to do when producing is to find a sound or a group of sounds that I don't normally hear on the radio, and then melding that with the words and story being told in the song," says Roken of his music. "I think being able to find a way to blend the lyric with the music in a fresh and interesting way that still makes sense, is the ultimate goal in creating music."

He has been working on an EP with Grammy-winning producer François Tétaz. The project, which is "soon to be released," was mixed by Damian Taylor, whose résumé includes work with The Killers and Arcade Fire.
