“ロバート・タイラ・ウィルソンの音楽は自然の中にある強さや美しさを浮かび上がらせる彫刻のような芸術性を持っている。彼のサウンドは透明感のある光を放つ水面のようでもあり、壮大なスケールの草原を駆け巡る風のようでもあり、野生の雄叫びを内包した得体のしれない生き物のようでもある。彼は音楽で様々な感情や風景を描いているが、それらは不自然に作られた人工物ではなく、自然から生み出された光り輝く有機物なのだと感じる”

“These moments of deeply felt life experiences form his poetry and music. There was tremendous songwriting craft there, but the naturalness of expression was so intense that it felt like he just reached out to the world, plucked out the words and melody, and offered them to the listeners. “

“…preferring a narrative and romantic path in a predominantly positive key to reflections full of twisted thoughts of the recent wave coming from the land of Albion.”

“…strings burst ablaze for one last charge as if the man himself is setting fire to this love letter to never be read again.”

“The pace is calm, the atmosphere smooth. The sound is intimate and casual. But little by little, we feel a crescendo. In the last part, the song gains intensity, courtesy of Robert's performance, as full of emotion as it is full of soul. “

“…with geometric shapes representing bondage and cages that fade through the looking glass showing a better world and an alternative that could be.”

“I’m a highly strung maniac by the end of most recording sessions. I hope that doesn’t translate into my records though. As for live performances, if I haven’t taken my audience on an emotional journey, if they haven’t laughed and cried during my set then I haven’t done my job. Preferably they will laugh at my jokes and cry at my music, not the other way around.”

“When I came over I knew no one, so I started busking. I bought a battery-powered amp and after work, I would wheel it out to places all around Osaka. It was a steep learning curve as I had to pick up all the unwritten rules. If the police came you would have to pack up and go, but you would simply walk around the corner and wait a while.”

In this interview, we talk with Robert about his beginnings up to his latest single titled ‘Into My Arms’, releasing today. A song that Robert spreads his wings on and shows more of a pop side to him while retaining that subtle smoothness his music shows as signature.
