ROBIN RED (Degreed) – Robin Red (2021)
Last year, ROBIN RED, lead vocalist of Sweden’s great modern melodic rockers Degreed, decided to launch a solo career and sent his demos to Frontiers Music, who were quite thrilled with what they heard, to say the least. ”I’ve been thinking about doing a solo album for many years. It’s kind of a dream come true. But I never really felt ready, not until now. I’m gonna go back to the roots and make it a little more organic. I’m very inspired by artists like Jimmy Barnes and Bryan Adams, and the sound will not be far from there. But it will still be me,” says Robin.
The resulting album is indeed a melodic rock fest with catchy, uptempo songs that will mightily impress fans of the genre and especially of such artists as Foreigner, Rick Springfield, Bryan Adams and John Waite. The album was recorded together with Dave Dalone (H.E.A.T), as producer, guitarist and co-songwriter.
