One of the most interesting niches in pop music is the โmelodic houseโ movement that brings gorgeous melodies and insightful lyrics to the world of electronica. The new song โStill Aliveโ from UK artist robrobrob is a perfect example.
While house music has long been hailed for its rhythmic richness and sonic textures, songs like โStill Aliveโ contain those elements but are anchored by superb songcraft.
If youโre wondering why robrobrob sounds suspiciously like Tailor (another UK act), itโs because both are the handiwork of Robert Taylor. โTailor is a purely collaborative project where Iโm mostly writing and singing and robrobrob is all me (producing, writing and singing),โ says the artist.
โโStill Aliveโ is about letting go of the things you thought made you alive, but realising youโre more alive without them,โ says Taylor. โIt was inspired by the change in my world after becoming a father.โ
Itโs clear that robrobrob could have a hugehugehuge impact on melodic house,ย along with composers like Ben Bรถhmer, whose recent collab โHidingโ with Swedish singer Lykke Li is majestically melodic.
