Golden Fez’s latest single, “Rose Red Dress,” arrives as a haunting, sensual tribute to memory, obsession, and the power of a single image to linger far longer than logic permits. Hailing from London, Golden Fez—aka Orhan Ugurcag—brings an intimate and cinematic flair to his sound, shaped by a fascination with acts like Chase Atlantic, Artemas, and The Weeknd.

Co-produced with Eugene Vinitsky of Choisz Studio, this track is the perfect intersection of late-night yearning and dreamy detachment, wrapped in glossy production and velvet vocals. The song opens with a wash of soft, shimmering sound, akin to ambient haze and emotional undercurrent. A ghostly atmosphere creeps in, with layered harmonies and a slow, hypnotic rhythm. Then, the beat ticks in, steady but subtle, and Golden Fez’s high, breathy voice glides over it like smoke curling in a dim-lit bar. His delivery is entranced, slow but gripping, with every line laced with the ache of memory. It’s as if the singer is suspended in the memory of a woman in that “rose red dress,” unable—or unwilling—to escape.

This track shows how Golden Fez’s ability blends energy with intimacy and marks a shift in his artistry with less polished pop and more emotional grit. It’s what you put on late at night, alone with your thoughts, and let it echo everything you haven’t found the words for.
