MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Rome Records, the anonymous artist and record label built around putting music before identity, has released its sixth album, Only Now. Released on August 26, 2026, the 12-track project marks Rome Records’ first full venture into reggae and combines roots-influenced rhythms with themes of love, reflection, community, and social awareness. At the center of the release is “Stop the War,” a reggae track created to encourage listeners to consider the human consequences of conflict and the role music can play in opening conversations.

“Stop the War” Uses Reggae to Address Conflict
Running 4 minutes and 38 seconds, “Stop the War” approaches war from the perspective of ordinary people who live with the consequences of decisions made by those in positions of power. A heavy reggae beat provides the musical foundation for a direct grassroots message.
For Rome Records, the track reflects a belief that music has historically served a wider cultural purpose. Songs have challenged assumptions, drawn attention to overlooked realities, and encouraged people to engage with issues affecting their communities and the wider world.
“The world needs to open its eyes. Throughout history, music has been more than entertainment. It has challenged people, sparked conversations, exposed realities, and brought attention to issues that were too often ignored,” said Rome Records, Anonymous Artist and Record Label. “If one song makes someone think differently, question something, or simply open their eyes a little wider, then the music has already done something meaningful.”
“Stop the War” serves as a central expression of that idea, using reggae’s established connection with community, freedom, and resistance to deliver its message.
‘Only Now’ Continues a Six-Album Journey
Only Now contains 12 songs with a total runtime of 49 minutes and 54 seconds. The album includes “Just Love,” “Easy Come Easy,” “Rich With Love,” “Stand Up Right,” “Stop the War,” “Just Relax,” “Kingdom For Us,” “Seeing Stars Tonight,” “Already Know You,” “Night Burn Slow,” a remix of “Night Burn Slow,” and the title track, “Only Now.”
The release follows five other Rome Records albums from 2026: Celestial, Backroad Bruiser, From The Moon, Seeing Stars, and Always Been. Together with Only Now, these releases form a six-album catalog that reflects Rome Records’ interest in exploring different sounds and musical directions.
With the sixth release, reggae and roots influences move to the forefront. The album retains the project’s music-first philosophy while giving songs such as “Stop the War” space to address broader social themes.
Six Albums, One Anonymous Identity
Anonymity remains central to Rome Records. The artist does not place a face, lifestyle, or personal persona at the center of the project. Instead, listeners encounter the songs first and form their own connection with the material.
The philosophy behind the project remains straightforward: make the song good first and let the music create the connection.
This approach asks listeners to experience a track without first being influenced by an artist’s appearance, history, or public identity. Any curiosity surrounding the person behind Rome Records becomes part of the journey after the music has been heard.
With Only Now, that philosophy extends into reggae while “Stop the War” gives the album a clear social focus. The song invites listeners to pause, consider what is happening around them, and engage with a subject that continues to affect communities across the world.
