Click “Listen” to watch The-Dream’s “ROC” video.

After a relatively quiet, but still quite successful 2011 (the self-proclaimed “Radio Killa” didn’t get a new album onto store shelves, but he did drop a number of fresh singles and an acclaimed mixtape), The-Dream is starting the New Year with a bang—in both the figurative and literal sense. Whereas Terius Nash’s recent work has tended toward the high-concept, from the tragicomic melodrama of Wedding Crasher, to the freaky double-header that was Body Work x F**k My Brains Out, new single ROC finds him setting aside the elaborate narratives and formal experimentation to craft a straight-up, mattress-creaking, headboard-knocking bedroom burner. Over his own sultry boardwork, a smooth blend of bouncy synth-bass, slow-rolling percussion and crisp guitar accents, the pop hitmaker soulfully narrates an epic lovemaking session, only departing from the script to toss out a few obligatory “Roc-a-Fella” puns. So readers, has The-Dream ROC-ed your world with his latest effort? Then won’t touch that dial—The Love IV: Diary of a Madman still lacks a drop date, but we in the Booth will keep you supplied with all the latest news and tunes.

This song first appeared on the R&B / Pop Chart on January 9, 2012

Nothing out of the ordinary from The Dream, but the formula works and this will be another radio hit for Mr. Nash.

I agree, nothing new from the dream. Ladies will love it, good after the club jam.

What's good cb! This s a pretty average Dream joint right here with the smooth airy vocals. I'll throw it into the R&B section of the MP3...

Like everyone said, very familiar. Not really my cup of tea, but he does what he does well. I'll be expecting to hear this on the radio/at the bars for months to come.

I'm looking for some more from The Dream. I want him to take some more risks and go out of his comfort zone. I sound like an American Idol judge here.

sounds like a recycled Dream beat, nothing special, just releasing to release.
