Hailing from the music mecca of Nashville, RobinAugust is an artist who lives and breathes her art. Her music embodies a raw and unfiltered quality, with lyrics that are brutally honest and melodies that are brimming by raw emotion. Nestled at the crossroads of indie pop and alternative rock, RobinAugust brings a unique and powerful sound to the music scene.
During her freshman year at Berklee School of Music, she released her debut album, Avocado Head. This album, a labor of love and catharsis, channels the influence of iconic 90s female artists such as Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow and Fiona Apple. Yet, it’s infused with the psychedelic vibes reminiscent of acts like Pink Floyd, Radiohead and the Beatles. This blend of past and present sounds formed a musical experience that won over audiences and put RobinAugust on the modern music map.
Now, she returns to her punk rock roots with her latest single, “Boy Obsessed,” featuring a duet with Mercy Sophia. This track is a gritty, high-octane punk rock anthem with a pop-infused twist. From the first note, electric guitars crunch over driving drums, setting the stage for an intense and energetic musical experience. The dynamic vocal interplay between RobinAugust and Mercy Sophia adds depth and character to the song. Their voices weave together, blurring the line between swaggering angst and soulful style, creating a captivating and unforgettable 90-second burst of musical adrenaline.
While her debut album Avocado Head ventured into pop rock territory, this single plunges headfirst into the raw energy of punk rock. It showcases her ability to navigate various musical genres with power and conviction. One intriguing aspect of “Boy Obsessed” is its origin; it’s a revival of a song that RobinAugust and Mercy Sophia co-wrote when they were just eight years old. They originally recorded it a decade ago, and now, with the wisdom and experience of adulthood, they breathe new life into this track.
With “Boy Obsessed,” RobinAugust reminds us of the enduring power of punk rock. It’s a genre that thrives on raw emotion, unfiltered expression and a rebellious spirit. RobinAugust captures all of this with finesse and flair.
“Boy Obsessed” is a sonic whirlwind, a short but exhilarating journey that showcases RobinAugust’s ability to capture the essence of a genre and infuse it with her own unique style. As she continues to explore and experiment with her music, one thing is clear: RobinAugust is an artist who is unafraid to break moulds and make music that is distinclty her own.
