Robbie Fitzsimmons Releases New EP ‘So Says the Sound’

Robbie Fitzsimmons, an accomplished LA-based songwriter, pianist and singer, has released a new single and accompanying EP called So Says the Sound. Fitzsimmons is in the middle of a 45-week rollout of additional new songs, including a new single drop every six weeks. So Says the Sound and the upcoming full-length album, Blue Meets Orange, comes on the heels of his highly praised 2023 singles “Making Castles” and “Circles.”

Robbie Fitzsimmons is no stranger to the music industry, as he has spent a good portion of his career not only writing his own music but also working behind the scenes with some of the biggest artists and industry producers. Robbie was mentioned in songwriting by Paul Simon and has performed worldwide at Glastonbury, Burning Man, Coachella, EDC, and at private parties for Elon Musk, HBO, and more. He holds Platinum RIAA status for his work on Lana Del Rey’s Ultraviolence, Guy Lalimberte (Cirque Du Soleil), and takes pride in extending his gifts into the world of other artists in multiple genres of music. His songwriting is deeply personal, and as an LGBTQ+ artist living with bipolar disorder, each production comes from a place that is truly authentic and soulful.

Fitzsimmons believes that vulnerability transcends conversation, and can be heard, felt and understood through each and every song that he creates.

So Says The Sound and the upcoming Blue Meets Orange LP are love letters to listeners and fellow creatives who live with their own unique challenges, and he hopes to bring people together through openly personal lyrics that are relatable and also comforting. His incredible falsetto voice and brilliant songwriting would easily be enough to stand out, but then the Fitzsimmons brand is even further elevated with hypnotic, theatre-inspired live shows, photography, and album artwork that showcase an electrifying side of Fitzsimmons. This well-rounded, deeply talented persona is incredibly rare in today’s industry, and his rise to new levels of notoriety is just around the corner.

What sets Robbie apart is a distinctive voice and songwriting style that is a gift to both himself and those he works with —a voice that courageously delves into the complexities of identity, love, and mental health through a poetic lens. His work transcends the realm of music, evolving into a profound life story, a candid confession woven into captivating melodies. His new LP Blue Meets Orange has been announced for a 2024 release, and in 2023, he released the highly-praised EP The Mountain That Turned Upside Down.

Each song being released throughout 2024 is a step in Robbie’s intimate journey with bipolar disorder, where the interplay of blue, the colour of depression, and orange, the hue of mania, creates a vivid palette narrating tales of resilience, recovery, and self-discovery. Supported by a full band and string orchestra, each recorded song and live performance becomes a beacon of understanding for those navigating a similar path. He only hopes to reveal the depth of his commitment to transparency and the universal truth that our most challenging experiences often shape our most profound creations.
