54 Ultra Shares Clairo Collab “Honeymoon”

JohnAnthony Rodriguez, the New Jersey singer/songwriter/producer who makes smooth, synthy, Latin soul-inflected indie-pop under the moniker 54 Ultra, has been picking up some buzz since his debut EP First Works dropped in 2025. His latest single, "Honeymoon," clearly has some industry firepower behind it, as Claire Cottrill — Clairo herself! — wrote it and produced it alongside Paul Cherry, Eddie Burns, and William Corduroy."Inspired by the sound of late '70s smoky pop music, 'Honeymoon' came together during a magical night at Electric Lady Studios in New York City," Rodriguez says. "I wanted to capture that feeling by recording straight to analog tape and using mostly vintage instruments and equipment, paying close attention to every detail along the way.""I feel this song is a beautiful step in a new direction for me while still being familiar," he adds. "I even bought a Yamaha CP70 for this song to make sure I got the sound exactly where I wanted it to be. To me, it’s a perfect backdrop to the changing seasons into the end of the year."
