ROGER ORTEGA RETURNS: NEW SINGLE “YOU FIT LIKE A FANTASY” DROPS JULY 11th

​

After nearly three years away from the spotlight, independent R&B/Pop powerhouse Roger Ortega—also known to fans as RO or RnBPoPWrytr—is making his long-awaited return with the upcoming release of his latest single, “You Fit Like A Fantasy.” A verified Spotify artist, seasoned performer, and a voting member of the National Recording Academy (The GRAMMYs®), Ortega brings his signature style and heartfelt songwriting back to center stage.

​

The release marks a pivotal moment in RO’s career—a new chapter following the critical and fan success of his last project, Midwest Charm, a dual-version album described as a love letter to New York, New Jersey, and Kansas—the three regions that shaped his life and sound. His first single from that album, “Back to Kansas,” chronicled his journey from the East Coast back to his Midwestern roots and resonated deeply with longtime fans.

​

RO first made waves with his 2012 debut RnBPoPWrytr, which broke into the Top 100 of iTunes' R&B/Soul charts, peaking at #62. But it was his 2016 follow-up, The Lottery, that truly announced his arrival—rocketing to #8 on iTunes and cementing his place as a respected voice in the independent music scene. That success led to his induction as a GRAMMY® voting member, an honor that distinguishes him amongst indie artists.

 

Throughout his career, Ortega has shared stages with icons like Jay-Z, Color Me Badd, Aaron Carter, and O-Town, and has made a mark across both the R&B/Pop and Freestyle worlds, performing alongside legends such as Judy Torres, George Lamond, and TKA. He’s sold out notable venues from NYC’s Cutting Room and Miami's Hard Rock Cafe to Topeka’s 6th Ave Ballroom, and even headlined one of Kansas' largest music festivals—twice.

​

But RO doesn’t just perform—he creates experiences. In 2019, he launched the RO Cruise, a fan-centric music voyage that fused performance and personal connection. After a successful first run, RO Cruise 2 "Re-Deux" set sail again in 2022, building a legacy not just of music, but of community.

​

Now, with “You Fit Like A Fantasy,” Ortega blends slick pop melodies with soulful vulnerability—bringing fans a track that’s destined to be a staple in his growing catalog. The single signals not only a return but a reinvention—a bold reminder that RO is not done writing his story. He’s just getting to the next chapter.
