Dutch artist, composer and producer Robin Kester is serving up an adventurous take on electro-pop on her new single Happy Sad (It's a Party). Think Tori Amos reinventing herself after a meeting with Beth Gibbons. The song is basically a one-sided conversation with an evasive signifant other, while driving home after an evening that did not live up to its promise. The video was made by Lotte Spijkers.
She would have been signed to 4AD in a heartbeat in the early 90s, but Memphis Industries got there first after the critical acclaim for her debut full-length Honeycomb Shades. Her new album Dark Sky Reserve will be released on July 13.
