'Discovery' is a brand new, freshly picked pop single from emerging Cape Town artists Flock of Robin & Your Brain On. The idea of 'Discovery' was born when Robin approached high school friends Daniel and Shaun (Your Brain On) to write a song for his upcoming EP (release date TBA). What the song would be about, however, was the first piece to this melodic puzzle.

While sitting on Noordhoek beach, the three lads looked into the oceanic horizon and wondered what lay ahead. Despite all the chaotic storms, titanus waves and other natural terrors of the seven seas, the exhibition into the great unknown would be an enlightening one. This sparked something in their heads, and from then on it would be decided what message the song would carry.

What started out as a folk inspired melody, the song was destined to become a mashup of The Weeknd, Shawn Mendes and a dash of rock 'n roll! The track starts out mellow and progresses to a foot tapping, heart pumping chorus, eventually taking the listener to a rap-centered bridge and ending on a climactic, raunchy guitar solo. The song was produced and mixed in the breathtaking Franschhoek valley by Ollyvans Studios.
