UK-based artist Robin Shaw‘s musical journey began on the streets of South Norfolk and has since taken off to entertain fans around the world. Initially stepping into the spotlight as a street dancer at 16, Robin’s early forays on Britain’s Got Talent paved the way for a thrilling creative endeavour.
Robin’s musical odyssey took a significant turn in 2016 when he auditioned as a singer-songwriter in Soho, London. Starting with Regent Street Artists, he later embraced complete independence, collaborating with producer Chris Hall in South Acton. Fuelled by a passion for wordplay, Robin has evolved into a talented lyricist, infusing his songs with relatable themes and meaningful writing.
Now based in Bressingham, he’s been crafting a sonic output that’s seen him go from strength to strength with each move. From his debut single, “Time Is Your Own,” in 2017 to his collaboration with chart-topping rapper Ironik on “Fight or Flight,” Robin Shaw’s music has struck a chord with fans and tastemakers alike. His unique sound, ranging from hip hop to indie pop, channels personal experiences and social commentary, resulting in a body of work that’s captured attention globally, earning spots on BBC Introducing, London One Radio and airwaves from Barcelona to Los Angeles.
Now he brings us his latest release with the recent single titled “Jekyll and Hyde,” recorded at Pirate Studios in Shepherds Bush, London. Serving up a dark alternative pop outing, with his new single, Robin Shaw delivers a haunting, beat-driven sound.
Opened by airy piano notes, gently dancing in a stretching atmosphere, Robin’s smooth vocal leads glide in to thread storytelling lyricism via memorable melodic writing. With the line “you’re like Jekyll and Hyde,” the song fully kicks off with a snapping trap style beat and eerie synth lines.
The theme of “Jekyll and Hyde” lies in its exploration of duality, inspired by a conversation with an ex partner nearly a decade ago. The metaphorical use of Jekyll and Hyde reflects the revelation of a hidden personality. Capturing a theatrical pop sound full of sonic intensity wrapped up in slick sound design, “Jekyll and Hyde” sees Robin Shaw drop a moody and infectious alternative pop anthem.
