South African singer-songwriter Ross Learmonth drops a track that’s both deeply personal and instantly accessible with his latest single, “Opposites.” Known for his anthemic solo sound post-Prime Circle, Learmonth leans into vulnerability without losing the larger-than-life energy that’s become his signature.
Blending heartfelt lyricism with lush, layered instrumentation, “Opposites” explores the magnetic friction of mismatched love. “It’s inspired by my parents’ relationship and my own experiences in love,” Learmonth shares—and you can hear that honesty in every line. His vocals soar over a tight, radio-ready production: chiming guitar lines, dynamic drums, and warm synths that give the song both emotional depth and replay value.
There’s a spark of spontaneity to the track’s origin story—Learmonth describes it as a song that “wanted to be written”—and that immediacy translates into a vibe that feels real and raw. Engineered by Mark Beiling and polished by UK-based collaborators Rusti Rossouw and Tristan Carmichael (the team behind hits “Honey” and “Because of You”), this is pop-rock with substance.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering Ross through this track, “Opposites” is a compelling reason to tune in—and stay tuned. With more music on the way and an album in the pipeline, Ross Learmonth is clearly just getting started.
