One Man Band Robert DeLong Releases New Album “Walk Like Me”
Famous for his one man band philosophy, Colorado’s Robert DeLong has poured his heart, soul and time into his newest album release “Walk Like Me” via Glassnote Records.
Walk Like Me is the outcome of a period of extreme personal evolution for DeLong after ending a nearly 10-year long relationship. He truly took the time to re-explore who he is musically, spiritually, interpersonally, lyrically and expand his art, which created a stunning album detailing the journey of self-discovery.
“Walk Like Me is my new album, and I’m relatively certain (within a reasonable margin of error) this is the most excited I’ve ever been to release a body of work. It is a collection of songs unbounded by genre - referencing punk, dub, techno, industrial, folk, no-wave, alt-rock, and country, tied together by a sort of anti-hyperpop alt-pop undercurrent, with vocal delivery and lyrics (hopefully) as the adhesive. The album is intended to bring the listener on my personal journey, an invitation to ‘Walk Like Me’ (if I may engage in some low-hanging punnery),” said Robert.
The new album features DeLong’s collaboration with Canadian electro-pop phenom Lights, “Did it to Myself,” and “Better in College (feat. Ashe).” Both of which were met with global praise including placement on Spotify’s New Music Friday in twelve countries as well as key playlist placements on Apple, Amazon, and YouTube. DeLong’s latest single “Own Worst Enemy” is also featured on the album.
His 2015 sophomore album, In The Cards, yielded a string of fan favorite singles such as “Don’t Wait Up” and the smash “Long Way Down”, which peaked at #3 on the Alternative Chart and clocked over 40 million Spotify streams. The record garnered acclaim from Billboard, Baeble Music, iHeart.com, and more.
Holding a strong sense of ambition and dexterity, Robert DeLong has the capacity to achieve more than most can dream of and we can't wait for you to hear the new album “Walk Like Me” via GlassnoteRecords.
