Album Notes

Robyn McCorquodale
Performer/Singer/Songwriter/Pianist : UP AHEAD

Original compositions comprising introspective and spiritually based lyrics set to an eclectic assortment of music ranging from melodic ballads to exotic and compelling rhythm songs that convey messages of beauty, hope and inspiration. A rhythm section that includes both guitar and piano, fused with colorings of violin, cello, flugelhorn, and added percussion, together weave a musical tapestry around Robyn's heart-felt and passionate vocals expressing soft whispers of sweet yearning to dramatic angst of haunting obsession. Lush harmonies blend with her dulcet tones of thoughtful lyrics, painting beautiful melodies and images that come alive by her performance. Elements of jazz, pop, soft rock, country, Latin and Celtic, craft a fresh and distinctive sound. Co-written with Grammy-nominated producer, Michael Creber, her song - Sad Eyes - reflects her experience singing for one of the richest men in the world - 'WINNER ... perceptive and thought provoking...a powerful song with strong lyrical impact and effective melody and music throughout - very touching and compassionate - great talent for songwriting...a great voice...' ~ Great American Song Contest. A native of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Robyn currently lives and performs in New York City: 'A compelling mezzo...an impressive New York debut.' ~ Cabaret Scenes, NYC; 'A powerhouse of many talents, poised and personable on stage.' ~ Electronic Link Journey, NYC; 'A strong, ringing alto voice that's perfectly lovely and certainly polished.' ~ Show Business, NYC.
