Robin Kester - Departure
Dutch alt-rocker Robin Kester gears up to release her new album, and the mesmerizing"Departure" comes as a first taste. The track hums along softly, leaving the listener in a state of wonderment, curiosity, and utter enchantment. This makes me want to listen to the album already, which will be out later this year via Memphis Industries. Musing about the single, Robin says:
“Most of ‘Departure’ is based on a diary entry dating back to when I was thinking about maybe moving again (because I often moved someplace else during childhood and kept doing so in my adult life, thinking it might help whenever I felt unhappy). But at the same time I knew this literal escapism didn’t really ever solve anything. When I used this diary entry as part of the lyrics, I was afraid they were maybe too on the nose and perhaps I also felt a bit vulnerable because I’m more used to writing in a way that lets me hide things underneath lyrics and melodies.”
