A Motswana based in Boston, Massachusetts, Robyn L released her debut single offering this past Friday.
The single is titled, ‘ Malibu Barbie’ , coproduced, mixed and mastered by Maztypebeat. The new track will be available on all streaming platforms.
According to a press release, Malibu Barbie is the first in a series of singles, the singer will be releasing before an EP in the next coming months. She explains that the song is about unrequited love from someone who is playing games with a love interest.
“I create alternative music mostly but my music definitely has influences from other genres such as Pop, Hip- Pop/ Rap, and R& B,” she says.
She further says that growing up she was really into musicals, but also liked a lot of alternative artists such as Lana Del Rey, Melanie Martinez, The Neighbourhood, Fiona Apple, Tori Amos and Nirvana.
“My diverse music taste always inspires me to blend genres in my music,” she explains.
In 2021, she attended a convivial concert, and the whole experience inspired her to pen her song, Malibu Barbie. The press release explains that fresh from the epic music concert, she woke up with a lost voice, melody in her head the next day and created the song that same day.
“I think that is one of my songs that came quickly and easy to me when writing. Usually, I come up with my song concepts before attempting to write lyrics but sometimes when I am writing a song, I have chords and melodies ideas first so I will sing gibberish lyrics until I come up with something I like. I came up with a gibberish lyric ‘ running late to the party’ and ‘ Malibu Barbie’ rhymed so I stuck with that concept,” she explains.
