Atticus Roness makes a bold statement with “Not The One (I’m Looking For).” A power pop song serving as the first glimpse into his upcoming album, Power Pop World Domination. With explosive energy, layered instrumentation, and undeniable melodic hooks, the track proves Roness is serious. Serious about bringing Power pop back into the mainstream.
From the get-go, “Not The One (I’m Looking For)” grabs attention with a fuzzy bassline that oozes vintage rock charm. The rhythm section provides a dynamic and relentless pulse, allowing Roness’s sharp guitar work and soaring vocals to shine. Produced by Caleb Heiple and mixed by Christopher Alan Yates, the song maintains a balance between raw, garage rock grit and polished, radio-ready appeal.

Lyrically, the track embraces the timeless theme of moving on from the wrong relationship, a sentiment driven home by Roness’s confident vocal delivery. There’s a mix of frustration and liberation in his tone, underscoring the song’s theme with a conviction that feels personal. The chorus, tailor-made for singalongs, evokes the best of power pop pioneers like Big Star and Cheap Trick while maintaining a modern edge reminiscent of The Strokes and Teenage Fanclub.
Roness himself describes the song as “extremely Beatlesque,” and it’s easy to see why. The punchy guitar lines, tight vocal arrangements, and crisp production nod to the Fab Four’s later work. Meanwhile the driving beat and fuzzed-out energy place it firmly in contemporary rock territory. The seamless blend of vintage inspiration and fresh execution makes “Not The One (I’m Looking For)” a standout entry in Roness’s growing discography.
With Power Pop World Domination set to arrive in April 2025, this single sets high expectations. It’s clear that Roness isn’t just paying tribute to power pop; he’s actively revitalizing it for a new generation.
