Boston-based singer-songwriter Rootiger enamors on his latest single “Round It.” “There ain’t no way round it,” hypnotic vocals meld with caressing acoustics and twinkling keys, crafting an enjoyably meditative soundscape with doses of heavier guitar distortion arising in a sating final segment — where the vocals remark “it’s too late for you now” into the closing moments. The track excels in its mixture of quainter, melodic folk-laden beginnings and rock-edged conclusion, showcasing stellar songwriting from Rootiger, the project of Scranton native Mark Dunford.
