Change is in the air for award-winning artist Robert Vincent.
The Scouse singer/songwriter will release his much-anticipated fourth studio album through Thirty Tigers in 2024 and its music is riding the winds of change in the air. ?The songs are less traditional sounding,? he reveals. ?I?m learning how to lower my barriers and have made a more personal album than ever before.?
It was the start of 2020 when Robert?s third LP, the critically-acclaimed ?In This Town You?re Owned?, was released and walked straight into a worldwide pandemic. That stalled all promotional plans and tours, but the record resonated and won the prestigious Americana Music Association UK?s ?Album Of The Year? award for 2021. Now, Robert wants to spread his music?s prescient words: ?I think there will be mixed memories for anyone who lived through that and hopefully the album was a bit of a soundtrack to those times for some folks,? he says. ?I had to try and take the positives as an artist. I hadn?t had any time off in many years from gigging and that gave me a bit of a reset? but I?m looking ahead to a successful year of touring and playing these new songs to people.?
The record has captured said intimacy. Robert?s core band came together and made the music live in the studio, looking into the whites of each other?s eyes. ?I chose to record closer to home with my usual band of brothers and sisters (Anna Corcoran on piano, vocals; Jim Kimberley, drums; Danny Williams, bass; Adrian Gautrey, guitar, keys) and they assisted me beautifully as always. We?ve also got featured musicians like Joe Coombs, an amazing guitar player from the south west, and added inspired bits and mixed the record.?
