Robbie Rapids speeds past red lights, giving us a dangerously delicious number- Fishing The River that dances on the taste buds of our ears. The track is a guitar pop genius that is the perfect palette cleanser and the whole meal itself. Robbie is infamous for exploring all types of music, but Fishing The River is a whole new beast. His style usually leans towards mellow rock/pop numbers like Jasmine Girl and Dream Away. And then sometimes, he’ll surprise us with a number like this and Rock Ain’t Dead.
This track has a country and a cartoon like sound from the harmonica that smoothly and quickly takes off into a rock pop section. Robbie wastes no time in shining with his vocals and guitar number that injects the song with a sense of laid-back groove. This groove pulls you to your feet. The beat structure of the song takes us all by surprise, you don’t know what’s coming next. The track has a sense of youth due to this surprise factor.Â
This sense of youth stays with us throughout even though technically it’s long gone. A film that reminds us of this is Due Date. Fishing The River would work so well in this movie because the movie is more than a comedy, it’s very rare you find vulnerability between two men. The film does a wonderful job of portraying this even though it is after some pretty traumatic event, I’ll still take it. Let Robbie Rapids steal your heart as you click on the links above and enter his fun-filled crafty world.
