“The new music is amazing!” – Chris Blackwell (Island Records Founder) 

Gregory David Roberts (GDR), the critically acclaimed author, songwriter and artist releases his first single, Drive All Night, on September 18, 2020, available on all streaming platforms, taken from his debut album Love&Faith. 

Gregory David Roberts is best known for Shantaram, the best-selling novel, which sold over 6 million copies worldwide and was hailed a ‘masterpiece’.

Drive All Night, takes you on a musical journey of love, heartache and a desire to escape the sorrow of unrequited love. Produced by GDR and Dale ‘Dizzle’ Virgo (Drake/ Florence + The Machine/ Kendrick Lamar/ Rihanna), the track opens with electric guitar over a reggae bass, before the sweet melodic vocals of Janeel Mills and Saine 'Red' Rapley soothe the soul and evoke images of the open road, as they drive through the night, crossing another parish line. 

GDR said, “Music saved me, it inspired me in the midst of suffering, to keep going and never give up!”

The debut album Love&Faith is an eclectic fusion of musical genres, Pop/ R&B/ Country/ Reggae/ House, with lyrical content inspired by GDR’s six years of spiritual seclusion, scheduled for release on December 4, 2020.

Lisa Run Away, is a melodic chill out track inspired by GDR’s favourite DJ Finnebassen. It explores love and our ability to feel vulnerable. It’s based on the character Kavita Singh, from Shantaram, who falls in love with Lisa.   The music cocoons you in a melodic soundscape, evoking memories of balmy summer evenings.  Saine ‘Red’ Rapley’s sticky vocals, make this a catchy chill out tune. Produced by GDR and Dale ‘Dizzle’ Virgo (Drake/ Florence + The Machine/ Kendrick Lamar/ Rihanna).

Make Me Believe It, is a house infused track (inspired by La Rochelle Band’s Sitar), whose mood enhancing keys, leads into the hypnotic vocals of Saine “Red” Rapley. The lyrics bring the album’s title of Love&Faith into focus, exploring these themes in poetic verse.  The melodic house beat, anthemic chorus, evokes feelings of balmy carefree summer days. Produced by GDR and Dale ‘Dizzle’ Virgo (Drake/ Florence + The Machine/ Kendrick Lamar/ Rihanna).

GDR said, “Music saved me, on many occasions. The joyful reconnection that sparked hope in a desert of despair, remained with me indelibly. Music turned the wheel in a better direction and has helped me set the compass to my soul’s true north”.
