Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Robbie Gennet returns with his ninth studio album, Birds—a bold, synth-laced journey through mortality, forgiveness, and the fragile beauty of impermanence. Released in 2025, Birds marks one of Gennet’s most introspective and sonically adventurous works to date.

From the arresting rooster on the cover to the album’s ethereal title track, Birds invites listeners into a world where philosophy meets groove. Gennet sharpens the lyrical and production edge he’s cultivated since High Vibrations and You Deserve to Have Love—balancing poetic depth with analog synth textures and emotional clarity.
Highlights include:
- “The Empty Place” and “”Easy”—raw reflections on self-imprisonment and the grace of forgiveness
- “Dead”—a neon-lit dance with mortality, echoing the pulse of LCD Soundsystem
- “Birds”—a meditative anthem of mindfulness and presence
- “Deadly ”Sky”—brooding synthscapes reminiscent of Ghost in the Machine
- “A Happier Day”—a radiant closer that affirms hope as a hard-earned truth
“Birds is about staring life straight in the face—its beauty, its terror, its impermanence—and choosing to sing anyway,” says Gennet.
Drawing from new wave, disco, folk mantra, and house, Birds is a genre-fluid soundtrack for catharsis and forward motion. Gennet’s signature blend of lyrical insight and sonic exploration continues to bridge pop, rock, electronica, and philosophical reflection.
