Spring is here, and what better way to kick off the warmer months than with a track designed to get you dancing? Local Rainbow and Popeth have joined forces to release ‘Rumours Remix’, a fresh, high-energy take on Local Rainbow’s 2022 acoustic track ‘Rumours’. The song, now transformed into a shimmering, club-ready anthem, lands on Friday, 28 March, just in time to soundtrack the festival season.
A Pop Anthem For The Sunshine Months
If 2024 gave us ‘brat summer’, 2025 is about to be all about ‘Rumour Summer’—and this track is leading the way. The original ‘Rumours’ was a beautifully introspective, acoustic-led song, but this new version flips the script. With pulsating club beats, glistening synths, and an electrifying energy, ‘Rumours Remix’ is an instant pop banger, made for late-night drives, dancefloors, and spontaneous summer adventures.
Adding to the excitement, Local Rainbow and Popeth are also releasing a Welsh-language version of the track, ‘Celwydd’, on the same day. This marks the first time both artists have released a song in English and Welsh simultaneously—a huge moment for bilingual music and a celebration of their shared roots.
Meet The Artists Behind The Track
Local Rainbow, aka Rosie Reed, has been making waves in the South Wales music scene with her dreamy alt-pop sound. Known for blending youthful energy with emotional depth, she has built a loyal fanbase through her thoughtful lyrics and genre-blending production. Inspired by the likes of Chappell Roan, David Bowie, and Lana Del Rey, she continues to push boundaries with every release.
Popeth, the brainchild of Ynyr Roberts, is an artist and producer on a mission to bring Welsh pop to the world. His unique, collaborative approach has helped introduce fresh voices to the scene while keeping the energy high with his signature dance-pop production. Popeth’s songs have been played on radio stations across Wales, filling a much-needed space in the Welsh-language music scene for glittery, feel-good house-pop.
A Must-Hear Collaboration
‘Rumours Remix’ isn’t just a summer-ready pop song; it is also a statement about creative evolution and collaboration. Taking a raw, acoustic track and transforming it into something club-ready isn’t easy, but with Popeth’s production expertise and Local Rainbow’s unmistakable voice, the result is magic.
Fans of sleek, euphoric pop won’t want to miss this one. Whether you’re vibing to the English version or diving into the Welsh-language edition, this track is set to be on repeat all summer long.
