WATER FALLS DOWN showcases nine intoxicating new songs from Robin Frederick, an artist with a vocal sound reminiscent of Dusty Springfield and Sade, the deep grooves of Enigma, and uniquely poetic lyrics. With the backing of groove-master Roy Campanella III and guitar greats Grant Geissman and Michael Sims, these tracks glow with an other-worldly warmth. From the chill groove of O Sleeper, O Outsider - hailed as "...a miraculous breakthrough into a feeling world" by British music critic Ian MacDonald - to the worldbeat/trance rhythm of The Messenger, this album takes the listener on a journey through the shadowy depths of extreme romance.


INFLUENCES: Enigma, Enya, William Orbit, Sade, Sarah McLachlan. Also influenced by the songwriting innovations of Nick Drake. Read NICK DRAKE - A PLACE TO BE at www.robinfrederick.com. Originally published in MOJO Magazine, this article explores Drake's pioneering use of offset melodic phrasing, cluster chords, and more.
