Joining the lineup at Bonnaroo in Middle Tennessee this June is Robert DeLong from L.A. Delong has a unique twist on EDM the will no doubt make you f**ing dance!
Tapped as a ‘2013 Artist To Watch’ by the likes of MTV, Billboard and VIBE, DELONG has been generating a strong buzz with “Global Concepts,”… Overseas, “Global Concepts” had continued to gain support on Triple J in Australia and it is also being played on XFM and BBC1 Radio, where it was named Zane Lowe’s “Next Hypetrack.”
The album itself showcases DELONG as a profoundly gifted singer/songwriter who raises questions about identity and spirituality…
“The whole album is sort of a thesis statement for my philosophy,” says the Los Angeleno via Seattle who wrote, produced, mixed and performed the entire album himself. What is that philosophy? “The first song [‘Just Movement’] is the most basic kind of thesis statement,” he explains. “For me, when you strip away all the human moral elements of a person, you’re left with the fact everything is just moving, the whole universe is vibrating in different ways, moving around. Then the rest of the album is trying to figure out what to do with that and it’s kind of a play on words too. ‘Just Movement’ is not only about the philosophical idea, but also ‘Just Movement,’ the idea of dance, that’s kind of the primal response to music.” http://robertdelong.com/about
DeLong has got my attention, electronic pop is not my normal bag, but he’s got a cool vibe, here and I do believe I’ll try to catch that set.
