Willow Robinson: “Hope”

By: Eric Reyes

We couldnโ€™t help but think of The Doors as Willow Robinsonโ€™s voice rumbled from our speakers. โ€œHopeโ€ definitely shows its Rock stripes, with bluesy bursts of guitar and tambourine accompanying Willow Robinsonโ€™s powerful vocals. 

This is a song from another era in all the right ways. For a genre diluted by corporate sound by committee, to see an artist forge their own path using the musical traditions of that same genre is something that gives us โ€œHope.โ€ Itโ€™s no accident that our minds turned to the sound of the past, the soulful, barely containable emotion of Rock at its most iconic. There is a special attention paid to both vocals and instrumentals. Where other songs compensate for mediocre vocals with a heavy mix, and vice versa, Willow Robinson is an audible presence assured in his talent and skill.

Itโ€™s raining outside, and we sat staring out at the downpour, front door wide open, smiling as this modern classic played in the background. That, in a nutshell, is โ€œHope.โ€ Let us know what you think of this tune on social media today: @gasmakmagazine.
