Swimming Against the Tide (LP) - Robert O’Connor (Pop) Today we have Robert O’Connor’s latest album “Swimming Against the Tide” which is a collection of 80s tinged dance floor bangars. For today’s review, we’ve chosen our favorite track from the collection, “Something Strange”, which actually feels more like a 2000s dance floor spinner in line with Sonique’s “It Feels So Good” and Cher’s “Believe.” The perfectly arranged and produced track is an ode to the moment that love shows up out of nowhere to upgrade your life. “I thought that I had missed my chance,” Robert sings on the track, until love finally arrived to fill him up and complete his life. It’s an optimistic track that drives a listener to dance. This is a club track for sure.

Best Lyric: ”Something changed for the better, and now I know that we’re forever. Something strange in the water. It’s got me feeling so much stronger.”
