DECEMBER FADES Captures the Rush of New Beginnings with “Young Love”

Los Angeles based artist December Fades, the creative moniker of Kevin Rogers, returns with his latest original single Young Love, released on July 25, 2025. Known for his versatility as a songwriter, performer, producer, mixer, and masterer, Rogers has crafted a track that not only highlights his technical skill but also taps into the universal emotions surrounding the first spark of romance.

Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, December Fades has spent nearly two decades honing his craft in Los Angeles, developing a sound that blends modern pop sensibilities with a nostalgic 80’s retro influence. Young Love carries the hallmarks of that signature style with lush synth layers, pulsing rhythms, and a production that feels both expansive and intimately personal. Influences from artists like The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, and Halsey can be felt in the track’s atmospheric textures, yet the execution remains distinctly his own.

The song’s core narrative draws from December Fades’ personal experiences, capturing the thrill, hope, and vulnerability that come with the start of a relationship. Recorded entirely in his home studio, Young Love unfolds with a dynamic progression that evolves and crescendos, mirroring the emotional intensity it represents. Every element in the mix feels intentional, proof of an artist deeply committed to precision and emotional resonance.

The recording process presented unique challenges, particularly for the bold, belt driven chorus sections. Working in a dense urban environment meant navigating everything from passing planes to daytime noise pollution. This led to carefully timed vocal sessions, finding quiet windows in the day to record without sacrificing performance energy. The end result is a vocal delivery that cuts through with clarity and conviction, supported by a meticulously balanced arrangement.

As December Fades looks ahead to future live performances and new music, Young Love stands as a reminder of his artistic resilience and vision. It is both a polished pop production and a heartfelt personal statement, an invitation for listeners to “trust the process” and immerse themselves in the journey.

For those drawn to music that blends modern pop innovation with emotional storytelling, Young Love is a track worth experiencing on repeat.
