New single from Robbarti

Based in Glasgow, Robbarti is a new name but the artist behind the moniker is no stranger to success in the world of music. Previously the frontman of the indie rock band Hip Parade, Rob Shah has recently stepped out as Robbarti to bring to life his solo sonic vision.

Hip Parade earned recognition following their involvement in a TV show in 2008, which led to regular radio airplay and opportunities to share stages with iconic bands like Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes and Stereophonics. However, after the band split in 2013, Robbarti took a decade-long hiatus from the music scene, during which time he embraced fatherhood and opened new chapters in life.

But as the 10th anniversary of Hip Parade’s album I’ll Be Your Audience approached, Robbarti felt the pull of music once again. He began releasing a series of unreleased Hip Parade tracks, rekindling his passion for songwriting and production. This renewed creative spark and journey back to music allowed him to approach his creative works with the wisdom and clarity that comes with age and experience.

Reintroducing himself to the world under the moniker Robbarti, he made his solo debut in February this year with the single “Moving Away.” Following up with his sophomore single “Living With The Dinosaurs” in June, Robbarti quickly found his footing as a solo artist, clocking over a hundred thousand streams on Spotify.

Now he brings us his latest release with his brand new single titled “Remember,” a track that reflects on a destructive yet passionate past, conjuring images of obsession that are often confused with romance. Once again showcasing his knack for pairing contrasting elements, grooving bass lines and shuffling drums form a subtly danceable rhythm while his vocals provide an emotive edge.

Crafting an instantly catchy indie pop sound, shimmering guitar chords and intricate plucks ride the snap of drums as pulsing bass keeps a steady rhythm throughout. Gently delivered vocals apply infectious melodies carrying poignant lyricism, resulting in a charming sound that’s at once energising and mesmeric. It’s a stunning example of Robbarti’s engaging songwriting and performance panache as he continues his thrilling first year as a solo artist and we can’t wait to see what he’s got in store next.
