Paul Robert is a man who traded boardrooms for backbeats and this is a testament to the fact that, sometimes, the most talented musicians often emerge from the most peculiar places. Paul dropped his debut album, “110,” earlier this year, and while it wasn’t exactly a chart-topping sensation, it proved he had the chops (and the heart) to be a musician.
After facing setbacks thanks to a copyright claim—likely related to a nonexclusive beat he purchased— that prevented “Lying” from reaching stores, Paul decided to reinvent himself. He relocated to Los Angeles and embarked on a new musical journey, collaborating with fresh talent and creating a project that is sure to captivate audiences.
His latest single, “Suburban Shadow,” is a dark, brooding track that sounds like a soundtrack to a dystopian sci-fi flick. It has haunting beats, eerie melodies, and lyrics that delve into the darker side of the human psyche, and while the song might seem a bit bleak, it’s actually quite catchy.
Paul’s inspiration for “Suburban Shadow” came from his own experiences growing up in suburban California. He references Hollywood’s silent film era in the lyrics, acknowledging how his own life has been a bit of a silent film, full of ups and downs and unexpected twists. The song is a reflection on his journey, a way of confronting his past and embracing his present.
Paul is a shining example of what can happen when you follow your dreams, no matter how unconventional they may seem. He has faced challenges, setbacks, and even a few copyright nightmares, but he’s never given up. And that’s what makes him a true inspiration. So next time you’re feeling down or lost, remember Paul Robert and his suburban shadow. Because even in the darkest of times, there’s always a glimmer of hope.
