San Francisco-born, Brooklyn-based actor and musician Caleb Eberhardt, known as Rosehardt, continues to captivate audiences with his distinctive blend of hip-hop, vintage R&B, pop, and funk. The versatile artist returns with a sophisticated club anthem, "The Navidson Record," from his upcoming album, 'the world gets smaller each day it seems to shrink,' set to release May 10th via VERO Music.
The intricately woven lyrics of this single, produced by Rosehardt in collaboration with Davy Levitan and Joy Morales, are complemented by a pulsating '70s-styled dance beat. "The Navidson Record" draws inspiration from Rosehardt's emotionally transformative encounter with the bestselling book "House of Leaves" by Mark Danielewski.
“It’s the most insane book I have ever read,” Rosehardt declares. “It’s about a man who finds a manuscript in a house, and the manuscript is about a family who makes a documentary about their house and a big room in the house that is pitch-black. The further you go in the room, the bigger it gets. The character Navidson becomes obsessed with that room and what is inside. He goes in and it just gets bigger and bigger, and there’s a beast that you never see, but you hear. It’s terrifying and insane.”
Rosehardt harnessed the exhilaration of Danielewski’s groundbreaking storytelling to create a musical journey that expands upon the book, offering his perspective on the mysterious room's potential occurrences. The result is a recording that seamlessly transitions between club dance floors and relaxed radio listening.
“The Navidson Record” follows the success of previous album single, “Baby Love” featuring GRAMMY-nominated artist Masego. With over 1 million streams to date, the song was launched alongside a dynamic social media campaign, including a viral video of Rosehardt appearing on the late Jerry Springer's talk show. Other singles from the upcoming album, such as the vibey "cheat code" and the seductive "Hunted," underscore Rosehardt's dynamic artistry.
Beyond his musical pursuits, Rosehardt maintains a thriving career as an actor. Currently featured in the Broadway revival of AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, adapted by Tony Award nominee Amy Herzog, Rosehardt shares the stage with stars Jeremy Strong (Succession), Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos), and Victoria Pedretti (You, The Haunting).
