Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Robbie Gennet returns with Birds, his ninth studio album and one of his most daring works yet. Released in 2025, the record fuses analog synths, poetic lyricism, and fearless self-reflection into a sound that is both intimate and expansive.
From the rooster’s eye-catching cover to the soaring title track, Birds grapples with mortality, impermanence, and forgiveness, while holding space for clarity and hope. Songs like The Empty Place and Easy confront self-imposed barriers, while Dead transforms mortality into a neon-lit groove reminiscent of LCD Soundsystem. The meditative Birdsanchors listeners in mindfulness, and Deadly Sky channels brooding synthscapes in the spirit of The Police’s Ghost in the Machine. Closing track A Happier Day offers an earned, luminous reminder of resilience.
“Birds is about staring life straight in the face — its beauty, its terror, its impermanence — and choosing to sing anyway,” says Gennet.
With its blend of new wave, disco, folk mantra, and house, Birds is both eclectic and thematically sharp. A soundtrack for reflection and renewal, the album underscores why Gennet remains a rare voice bridging pop, rock, electronica, and philosophy.
Fans can tune in to see Robbie perform with a full band featuring Strings & Horns on Sunday, October 12th at 6pm PT/9pm ET at StageIt.com! Make sure you buy your ticket today!
