Rodney has released the second single off his debut album "Breakout". The song was called "How Is It?". It's a piano-driven ballad with R&B elements, and was solely written by him, and was produced with his friend Richard Riley, and additional mix by Michael. 

It was released alongside the lyric video of the song. "How Is It?" actually charted already at the Hot 100 for two week, during the release of "Breakout" album. On the day of the single's release, Rodney is the guest performer at the "Elma's Daytime Show". The episode has garnered 11.2 million at the national TV, higher than last week's 10 million, and 720k viewers at YouTube. 

At the Hot 100, "How Is It?" re-entered at number 28, while it debuted at number 7 in UK Singles, and number 19 worldwide. The single's sales is over 142k during its release debut. Rodney is, so far, happy with the song's debut as it adds to his discography. 

His "Centerstage" single "Jealous" still managed to stay at the Top 20 in Global charts, while "Breakout" single is down to number 5, 8, and 6 in Hot 100, UK Singles, and Global Singles respectively. Rodney was also considered by music insiders as one of the top artists of the year. His debut album "Breakout" finally reached number 1 on its 12th week of release at the Album 200 after selling 380k copies. It stayed at number 2 of UK Albums managing sales of 74k, and 725k globally. The album's new single "How Is It?" contributed to its sales, though the single failed a Top 20 debut.
