Robert Robert is a French-Canadian artist of many talents hailing from Montreal. Wearing a multitude of different creative hats, from composer and producer to singer and performer, this diverse approach to moulding and shaping sound has brought forth the release of his latest album ‘Hoodie bleu ultra’ on Nowaday Records.
Anytime I hear “French” and “House” in the same sentence I get a tinge of excitement running though my veins. If you look back to the calibre of artists that have released French House influenced music such as Daft Punk, Justice, Cassius, Bob Sinclar, Dimitri from Paris, St. Germain.. (need I go on?) they all have a few key qualities in common: a high standard in polished sound design, warm feel-good vibes, and sophisticated, yet highly imaginative arrangement and production. The simple truth is ‘International National’ is a track with that same kind of essence; French house infused electronica at it’s finest.
Serving as the single from the album, ‘International National’ wastes no time in pushing the launch button, mapping its course and sending us into orbit. The play between the warm arpeggiated keys, glaciated vocoded vocal and lead melody set up feelings of the familiar while also looking towards the future. The accompanying music video adds to this sense of interdimensional head space and is actually illustrated by Robert Robert himself. I highly recommend you purchase your ticket, sit back, strap in and wait for departure.
