"I find it hugely inspiring when people don't listen to any of the naysayers or gatekeepers and have a sort of tunnel vision that leads towards their goals".

Robert spoke to FV Music Blog this week about the people who inspire him most, songwriting in the shower, and his opinions on gatekeepers in the music industry. Read the interview in full at their website.

"Over (Before It's Begun)" also featured on FV Music Blog as one of the 'Hot Picks' this weekend!

Robert is set to release his new single "Over (Before It's Begun)", a collaboration with EDM artist Skynem GT, on July 31.

Discussing his decision to work again with the Peruvian producer, Robert said: “During the global pandemic, I took the opportunity to look back through my catalogue and release a bunch of reissues and remasters. When I listened to “Over”, I felt it was a song that had never reached its full potential – the lyric and melody is one of my favourites I’ve written, but the production fell short”.

He added: “Since we were in lockdown, and I was experiencing monumental growth in my streams – up by 743% on Spotify – I felt that it was important to release something, but quality control is important to me, so I decided to take something I thought already had the makings of a great song and allow Skynem GT to work his magic”.

Robert also revealed the track is lyrically a prequel to "Older '20", explaining: "It's about the same relationship, the one you build-up in your head as being "it", and then you get stuck in the friend zone!"

Speaking about the release, Robert told his mailing list members:

"In all honesty, I did this more for the sense of completion than for financial gain, because when I think about the artists I follow - Pet Shop Boys spring to mind as an act who reign supreme at this - I really appreciate the option to purchase all of these little extras that otherwise would never see the light of day for one reason or another".

Speaking about the collaboration, Robert said: "We connected creatively in a way that we knew there was more to explore beyond one remix. Skynem GT’s EDM sonic palette and my country storytelling lyric and vocal are an unlikely fit, but we’re lucky as artists that right now we live in an era of genre-bending".

Robert has released a new music video for "River", dedicated to "the less fortunate at Christmas".

Speaking about the winning entry, Robert said: "It stood out as being more than just a remix, even at demo stage - and since then I have worked with this producer in his tireless effort to turn out a remix that matched his vision and mine".

He added: "This single was always about an experimental moment for me, deviating from my recent country output, and now seems like the perfect time to fully embrace that by collaborating with new names in the EDM community".
