Liverpool’s revered songwriter, Robert Vincent, is back in the spotlight with his latest single ‘The Insider’, released today under the Thirty Tigers label. This highly anticipated track comes with a visually stunning video featuring none other than celebrated British actor and filmmaker, David Morrissey – a dedicated fan of Vincent’s work.
Delving into the theme of trust in an era overshadowed by unseen influences, Vincent questions, “The Insider, who can you trust?” The track captures the essence of modern uncertainty and explores the complexities of trust in a world marked by hidden powers. Reflecting on the inspiration behind the song, Vincent mused, “In an age of the despot, the dark, unknown, underhand influence, that casts a shadow over all our lives, Who am I to you?”
David Morrissey, a devoted follower of Vincent’s music, shared the story of their connection, “I checked Robert out and immediately loved his sound. We hit it off backstage afterwards, sharing music we loved and vowed to keep in touch, which we did.” Morrissey, who hosts a radio show on Boogaloo Radio with his son Gene, expressed his excitement about being a part of the ‘The Insider’ video, praising Vincent’s talent and calling it a privilege to contribute to this latest release.
Following his acclaimed album ‘In this Town You’re Owned’, which earned him an AMA award in 2020, Vincent’s latest offering signifies a bold creative evolution. ‘The Insider’ marks the beginning of a new musical era for the artist, featuring a broader and more ambitious sound. While his previous work was rooted in socio-political commentary, Vincent’s upcoming project draws inspiration from his personal experiences, showcasing the pinnacle of his songwriting prowess.
This single, the first in three years, serves as a tantalizing glimpse into Vincent’s upcoming album ‘Barriers’. The artist promises more new music and further insights into the album in the coming months. Meanwhile, fans can catch Vincent and his band live at various dates, including a special hometown performance at Liverpool’s Royal Philharmonic on October 29th.
Stay tuned for more updates as Robert Vincent continues to captivate audiences with his musical brilliance, leaving an indelible mark on the music scene.
