Not a new face on our blog, Robbie Rapids is clearly a highly gifted creative, championing a charming sound that greatly draws from retro pop, guitar-powered nostalgia and authentic songwriting. After having appeared on our pages with ‘Babylonian Dragon’, the Grand Rapids-based talent now returns with ‘Turn Back Around’, a more nuanced, fragile and relatable offering. Leaving gritty guitars behind, Robbie embraces clean and acoustic tones, the perfect settings for his evocative and poignant vocals, so dynamic and anthemic.
Empowerment is the key term here: ‘Turn Back Around’ is meant to motivate the listener, as Rapids explains: “The track is about self-reflection & needing to change direction in life. It’s my own self-motivational song & I hope it inspires others.” We are confident it will as it did with us. We strongly believe this to be the best record from Robbie Rapids yet – the guitar-less arrangement suits him well, allowing the listener to resonate with the lyrical message, delivered with energy and authority by the American artist.
