With lush immersive harmonies,&nbsp;<strong>Robin<\/strong>&nbsp;delivers vintage pop rock with a modern twist \u2014 a taste of &#8217;60s British invasion, &#8217;70s punk, &#8217;80s new wave, and &#8217;90s alternative \u2014 a sonic palette that&#8217;s&nbsp;<strong>Robin<\/strong>&#8216;s own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Co-produced with rock legend&nbsp;<strong>Jack Douglas<\/strong>&nbsp;(<strong>AEROSMITH<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>John Lennon<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>CHEAP TRICK<\/strong>) and mixed by&nbsp;<strong>Douglas<\/strong>&nbsp;with renowned engineer&nbsp;<strong>Jay Messina<\/strong>&nbsp;(<strong>KISS<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Peter Frampton<\/strong>),<strong>Zander<\/strong>&#8216;s new album delivers a deeply personal, unfiltered solo effort that resonates with raw, poetic emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A career in music was inevitable for&nbsp;<strong>Robin Taylor Zander<\/strong>. It&#8217;s in his heart, his soul \u2014 and his very DNA. &#8220;<strong>RTZ<\/strong>&#8220;, whose father is the founding frontman for iconic rock band&nbsp;<strong>CHEAP TRICK<\/strong>, drops his new single&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Nobody&#8217;s Home&#8221;<\/strong>, following his acclaimed debut solo album,&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;The Distance&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;(2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Robin<\/strong>&#8216;s music is awash in smoothly textured instrumentation and soaring, layered vocal harmonies and pop melodies.&nbsp;<strong>Robin<\/strong>&nbsp;melds together the influence of&nbsp;<strong>THE BEATLES<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>BEACH BOYS<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>THE ROLLING STONES<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>THE MOVE<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>THE WHO<\/strong>&nbsp;and so many others, in a sonic palette that&#8217;s&nbsp;<strong>Robin<\/strong>&#8216;s own. Writing all the songs and recording guitar, bass, drums, and vocals for his solo debut,&nbsp;<strong>Robin<\/strong>&nbsp;reveals his exceptional musical chops, range, and versatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Growing up in a house filled with musical instruments, recordings, and memorabilia,&nbsp;<strong>Robin<\/strong>&#8216;s own musical journey goes back to the age of 3, when he got his first ukulele. He graduated to guitar when he was five, followed by drums, bass, and piano, and singing in his school chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;When I was little, I would take a record and try to learn the bass part or the guitar part, then the next day try to learn the drum part and piano part,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Then I&#8217;d sing it and I&#8217;d be able to record it in my own.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there&#8217;s anything he&#8217;s learned since picking up that ukulele 25 years ago, it&#8217;s that there&#8217;s always something to prove, whether it&#8217;s in the studio or on stage. As&nbsp;<strong>Robin<\/strong>&nbsp;readily acknowledges. &#8220;The one thing I know is this is exactly what I want to be doing \u2014 and what I&#8217;ve always wanted to be doing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Confidential Records NYC<\/strong>&nbsp;is the record label of legendary producer&nbsp;<strong>Jack Douglas<\/strong>&nbsp;(<strong>JOHN LENNON<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>AEROSMITH<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>CHEAP TRICK<\/strong>).&nbsp;<strong>Jack<\/strong>&nbsp;has had the honor of producing five bands inducted into the&nbsp;<strong>Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo Credit:\u00a0@jaygilbert22\u00a0&amp;\u00a0@chrisschmittphotography Robin Taylor Zander\u00a0\u2014 a touring member of\u00a0CHEAP TRICK\u00a0and son of\u00a0CHEAP TRICK&#8216;s legendary frontman\u00a0Robin Zander\u00a0\u2014 will release his new self-titled album on October 17 via\u00a0Confidential Records.
