I feel like it\u2019s hopeful music with a lot of uncertain feelings behind the lyrics,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n On his music and songwriting inspirations, Zander said, \u201cI\u2019m mostly inspired by my record collection and any new artists that I come across online.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cThe good thing about technology nowadays is that music is so accessible, there\u2019s no excuse for you as a listener to not find something that\u2019s new and different. If you\u2019re able to escape the algorithms, there\u2019s a lot of great new music to be had,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n On his future plans, he shared, \u201cI plan on releasing the second LP in a few months, luckily I have a lot of material right now so I plan on doing more records next year as well as tour support for the new releases.\u201d<\/p>\n On being an artist in the digital age, he said, \u201cIt is really exciting and terrifying at the same time. It\u2019s easier now more than ever to get your music out there, but artists are also having to play the social media game to gain an audience.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cI believe the popularity contest aspect of music promotion on social media platforms is what terrifies me the most,\u201d he noted. <\/p>\n \u201cI come from the old school way of doing things but I\u2019m a young artist, so I try to marry the two together as best as I can,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n He shared that he takes cues from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group Cheap Trick, where he father Robin Zander is the lead singer and rhythm guitar player.<\/p>\n \u201cGrowing up, there was a lot influence watching my father\u2019s band perform live, for sure,\u201d he admitted. <\/p>\n \u201cCheap Trick was still on top of their game when I got to see them in the \u201990s as a kid. I get a lot of my musical tastes and influences from his record collection,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n For fans and listeners, he stated, \u201cI hope listeners can relate to the music in their own way.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t believe in telling people what everything means lyrically because it loses its appeal and quite frankly its mystique,\u201d he noted. <\/p>\n \u201cI have a lot of pride in recording this song along with the rest of the album, everything you hear on the record is me. It\u2019s as me as it gets, and it\u2019s an honest representation of where I\u2019m at currently in my life,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n To learn more about Robin Taylor Zander, check out his official website<\/a>, and follow him on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\u2018All She Wrote\u2019 single<\/h2>\n
