Cock Robin - Live

Review by Anne Nordhaus-Bike

Cock Robin's "Live" album is a must-have for fans of the band's unique blend of pop and rock. Recorded during their 2016 European tour, the album captures the energy and excitement of their live performances, showcasing the band's exceptional musicianship and dynamic stage presence.

From the opening track "The Promise You Made," the band's signature sound is on full display, with Peter Kingsbery's powerful vocals and guitar riffs complemented by the driving rhythm section of drummer Lou Molino III and bassist Coralie Vuillemin. The crowd's enthusiastic response is palpable, adding to the overall energy of the recording.

Other standout tracks include "Worlds Apart," which features a haunting piano intro and builds to a soaring chorus, and "When Your Heart Is Weak," a ballad that showcases Kingsbery's emotive vocals. The album also includes a cover of Prince's "Purple Rain," which the band performs with a heartfelt sincerity that pays tribute to the late icon.

A new album was released in March 2016 with additional vocals by Agathe Cagin and Julie Wingins. Drummers Marc Jacquemin and Didier Strub also complete the band line-up for live shows. A 5-track EP was released in April 2017 with 2 new original tracks (one instrumental), 2 covers from Peter Kingsbery's solo albums and 1 cover from Cock Robin's first album, with new arrangements and vocals by Kingsbery and Vuillemin. In September 2021, Cock Robin, consisting now of Kingsbery, Vuillemin and Strub, released a new 14-track album called "Homo Alien". Band settings : Peter Kingsbery: Lead vocals, Keyboards, Bass.
