(LOS ANGELES, CA) - 01/11/2024 - Robbie Fitzsimmons, an accomplished LA based songwriter, pianist and singer, has released a new single and accompanying EP called “So Says the Sound” (released Friday, January 5th). Fitzsimmons is in the middle of a 45 week rollout of additional new songs that includes a new single drop every 6 weeks. “So Says the Sound” and the upcoming full length album, ‘Blue Meets Orange’ come 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 around the world 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 a 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 is a love letter 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, theater-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.
