Dominic Fike Drops 3 New Tracks from Upcoming 'Rocket' Mixtape

Dominic Fike quietly unveiled three tracks today from his soon-to-debut mixtape, Rocket, scheduled to drop on August 22. This is a solid glimpse into the breadth of his sound.

All Hands on Deck launches the trio with blistering energy—Fike leans into rap over a backdrop that nods to alternative rock’s grit.

Aftermath is buoyant and light, its sunny disposition amplified by slightly grungy guitars. It’s the kind of track that makes you roll down the windows on a coastal drive and just soak in the sea breeze.

Then comes the The Smile, a gentler, more breezy sound washes over you—a kind of soundtrack for solitary reflection. Its moodiness feels deliberate rather than forlorn, perfect for a moment alone with your thoughts.

Despite their differences, Aftermath and Smile share a warm, sunlit vibe—both would be beautiful companions on a seaside cruise.

Fike navigates through these styles with confident ease, reaffirming his place in the indie world as an artist unafraid to blur boundaries.
