Description:
Robin Spielberg is one of America’s most beloved pianist/composers. With an impressive tour schedule and hundreds of thousands of recordings sold, this Steinway Artist has been winning the hearts of listeners around the world with her compelling melodies and sensitive piano technique since debuting her first recording of original solos for piano, “Heal of the Hand.”
“A New Kind of Love” is Robin Spielberg’s 15th CD,
and her first of all-original work in eight years.
It is also her most personal and expressive yet.
“A New Kind of Love” marks the artist’s return to creating the kind of music for which she is most famous: melodic soundtracks for her life journey. Exploring friendships, world beauty, the passage of time and the transitions of seasons, the CD is an intimate listening experience bound to resonate with Spielberg’s legions of fans as well as those new to her music.
The title track chronicles a walk among friends. Spielberg starts alone, but the companions she encounters along the way encourage her to keep going both literally and metaphorically. The longest track on the CD, this eight-minute journey is a quiet and peaceful exploration of self-discovery and understanding.
Fun, upbeat and filled with the unexpected, “This Busy Life” is the artist’s admission that the pressure, stress and fast-paced nature of her life is what she seeks most in a world telling her to slow down. Her family’s relocation from the New Jersey suburbs to a rural Pennsylvania town three years ago proved to be a catalyst for discovering the many layers to the loves and losses experienced in her life’s travels, giving her a new musical viewpoint. “Eileen”, written for her sister, is a musical statement of new-found layers of relationship and connection while “Seeing You Seeing Me” is an anthem gratitude to her good friend and mentor, Robin Goldsby.
Other musical adventures on the recording include “Until You Come Home” which chronicles the feelingsof waiting and longing that only a mother knows, and the tongue-in-cheek swing piece "it's All Just As Well” composed on the heels of a stinging rejection.
“Composing music is my way of seeing the world,” says Spielberg. “It always has been. It is through these melodies that I remember and understand my experiences and my place in the world.” Fortunately for this composer, her listeners relate.
Letters from around the world have poured into Spielberg’s inbox over the years letting her know that her music has comforted, inspired, motivated, lifted and provided the soundtracks for their own life’s journeys.
