Music enthusiasts can’t miss the latest offering from the charismatic Robbie Snowden. His new single, ‘Stranger‘, has the soul-stirring energy that only an adept independent artist can concoct. The track presents an upbeat, infectious pop rhythm mixed with melodic rap, exploring the profound yet poignant theme of unrequited love for a stranger who drifts away, never to be seen again.
Exhibiting Robbie’s knack for instant composition, ‘Stranger’ was composed and finalised in just one day, manifesting the exceptional talent he possesses. The single debuted live as a special exclusive on BBC Bristol on 9th May, earning him the title of BBC Bristol’s Artist of the Week. This recognition is not new for Robbie, as his previous tracks have attracted the discerning ears of Love Island music supervisors and earned him similar accolades.
Robbie’s musical journey is as intriguing as his music. His interest in singing sparked at a tender age, and by his teens, he discovered the joys of songwriting. Robbie found it not only a fun pastime but also a therapeutic outlet. In a house that was always filled with music, thanks to his piano-playing dad, Robbie’s inclination towards music felt organic.
His unique songwriting process is inspired by popular idioms, giving birth to catchy titles like ‘All Good Things’ or ‘Heat of the Moment’. A versatile listener, Robbie dabbles in various genres, embracing different sounds and infusing them into his songs. Whether it’s bouncing around to a drum and bass beat or getting moved by a dramatic film score, he enjoys music in its entirety.
When asked about his favourite solo artist, he chuckled and mentioned his admiration for himself. However, he couldn’t deny his fondness for icons like Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran, and Justin Bieber, who are just a few names in his extensive list of beloved artists, which, as he jokingly mentions, is as long as the Magna Carta! When it comes to bands, Blink-182 tops his list, and among instruments, the triangle somewhat tongue-in-cheekly wins his favour.
Robbie’s journey is adorned with a string of achievements, including BBC Bristol’s Song of the Week for ‘Don’t Tell Nobody’ on 16th January 2022, and Live in Session/Artist of the Week on 9th May 2023. With ‘Stranger’, Robbie Snowden continues to create a unique identity, offering an emotional resonance that echoes the sentiments of many. The world waits eagerly to hear more from this promising artist.
