Sharon Robinson
Everybody Knows

[ Freeworld / CD ]

Release Date: Tuesday 3 June 2008

Endowed with a rich, soulful alto - landing somewhere between Roberta Flack, Cassandra Wilson, and Sade Adu - Robinson breathes immeasurable levels of misty-eyed longing and downhearted reflection into her songs, thus delivering far more than simply a gorgeous voice floating above subtle electronic textures. Sharon Robinson has been a key member of Leonard Cohen's touring band for many years.

"A phenomenal project! Robinson's intelligent lyrics, excellent production and riveting alto voice define the word compelling to my ear.
- Carol Archer, R&R

"Invisible Tattoo is the new album's signature track and one of the finest adult pop songs of 2008...And in a market that is deathly short on intelligent, high quality adult pop music, Everybody Knows is an auspicious, welcome first offering by a talented artist whose time in the sun has thankfully arrived."
- Chris Rizik, SoulTracks

"A Knockout!...The best I've heard in a long time. Beautiful songs, great arrangements and a super voice.
Alex Allan, Nevis Radio, Scotland

"An album that begs to be listened to on a pair of headphones...Fans of her production work on Cohen's past two releases (Ten New Songs and Dear Heather) will love Everybody Knows as it is steeped in the same provocative and seductive blend of easygoing electronic beats.
- Jason Gladu, Popjournalism.ca

"In a word: Brilliant. A fantastic piece of work."
- Steve Burnett, Black Diamond 107.8FM, UK

"Everybody should know about Sharon Robinson...Endowed with a rich, soulful alto - landing somewhere between Roberta Flack, Cassandra Wilson, and Sade Adu - Robinson breathes immeasurable levels of misty-eyed longing and downhearted reflection into her songs, thus delivering far more than simply a gorgeous voice floating above subtle electronic textures. Fans of the lights-down-low atmospherics and mellow-soul of Zero 7 should find themselves similarly engrossed by this disc.
- Todd Lavoie, San Francisco Bay Guardian
