UK producer Robert Burbidge starts new year with cinematic new single ‘Morley’ 

New Americana-influenced single tells the story of ‘Morley,’ a fictitious character here to save listeners from their mid-afternoon slump

UK producer and composer Robert Burbidge spent 2022 releasing a series of stunning dreamscape singles, criss-crossing the line between indie, chill-out, downtempo and soundtrack-inspired music. 

And he starts 2023 with more of the same with the release of his new single ‘Morley.’ Once again, he teams up with long-time friend and collaborator Stevie Gligorovic to create his new Americana-influenced single. 

And they had a very clear musical mission as they started work.

“We wanted to push the sonic environment into a dreamscape of an Americana “Mid-day Mare,” says Robert. “We wanted to try and capture the doldrums of a 3:45pm lull of another day at work in a dead end job, the time of day when your blood sugar plummets.”

The end result is a dreamy bed of music, all lush guitar and bass licks (courtesy of another long-time collaborator Ian Stanford), shimmering drums and a melody that lazily ebbs and flows. 

And riding that lazy flow of melody is the story of ‘Morley,’ a fictitious and very kitschy character created by regular collaborator Winter. Taken from one of Winter’s short story collections, the heroic character of Morley provides a real focal point for the track, giving ‘Morley’ a real sense of “optimism and perseverance in a seemingly dismal situation.”

When taken alongside the music, Winter’s writing and emphatic vocals bring real life and joy into ‘Morley,’ creating an immersive, almost cinematic track that tells a real story. Which neatly reflects the musical direction Burbidge and his team have been leaning towards recently.

“I’d say my love of films plays into ‘Morley’ and how music really helps to create the immersive story world for the audience. I just watched the film ‘Brian and Charles’ and I loved the sound design in it - it was subtle but powerful.”

Which perfectly sums up the musical direction Burbidge and co are heading at the moment. 
The track was produced by Robert Burbidge and Steve Gligorovic and was mastered by Dennis Moody.

MORLEY Robert Burbidge Feat Winter Clip.

For all that you plan ahead in life, to try and create certainty out of chaos, some of the best moments come when you least expect them. 

And that’s true of the new release from Robert Burbidge and Winter, ‘A Voice of One Calling In The Wilderness.’

While improvising on a 1937 Chickering concert grand piano owned by Grammy-nominated engineer and producer Dennis Moody, LA composer Winter started ‘channelling something or someone’ and conjured the most incredibly moving four minutes of piano playing. And thankfully Moody was there to press record, otherwise, this moment would have been lost forever.
‘A Voice of One Calling In The Wilderness’ is released on March 17, 2023

The track was produced by Robert Burbidge and Steve Gligorovic and was recorded and mastered by Dennis Moody.

A classically trained trumpet player, composer and producer, Robert Burbidge is one of those rare talents that blurs the lines between classical and contemporary music.

Having trained as a professional trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn and piano player from the age of seven, Robert made his way into several orchestras and bands including the National Children’s Wind Orchestra.

With classical music in his blood thanks to his parent’s upbringing, he then broadened his musical scope, turning first to jazz, and brass bands and then dance music as a teenager.

Working under the name Rubberlips, Robert became a hit on the dance music scene, working alongside Grammy-award winner Louie Vega, Utah Saints, Damo Suzuki (CAN), Groove Armada’s Tom Finlay and Ashley Beedle, while performing at prestigious venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Dublin Castle in London, Trades Club and Beatherder festival. 

Robert has now moved on from his Rubberlips alias and launched a solo career as an independent composer, producer and music maker. As well as working on solo projects for a variety of highly-respected labels, he’s also collaborated with a wide range of diverse names including Gregory Thomas (Funkadelic), Robin Lee (Faze Action) and Kevin G Davy (Cymande). And working alongside long-time collaborator Steve Gligorovic and singer/songwriter Winter, he’s released several stunning singles with an upcoming album and range of merchandise to come in 2024. 

His work has had repeated global airplay, including on the UK’s BBC Radio 1, Soho Radio, on cult LA station KCRW and via the award-winning Lopsided World of L show.

Equally at home producing with a live band or using cutting-edge software, he’s perfectly positioned once again to blur the boundaries between music genres. And as ever, Robert’s unique sound resonates with depth, texture and that all-important groove that blurs the lines between classical and contemporary music.
