“All She Wrote” is available now
Cheap Trick’s Robin Taylor Zander has shared his airy, sentimental new single “All She Wrote,” via Confidential Records. The track follows the previous single “Nobody’s Home.”
“The song ‘All She Wrote’ reflects on the struggle of communication while also acknowledging that sometimes, no amount of sincerity can bridge the gap between one another,” Zander explains. “The recurring theme of ‘maybe that’s all she wrote’ describes that universal melancholy feeling of lost connections, and the hope to create new ones someday that mean just as much as the lost ones. Musically, the song is uplifting, upbeat, it swings. It’s one of my favorite new ones because I really like the drum parts I came up with; everything you hear on the record is me, aside from my sister singing vocals in the choruses.”
A versatile multi-instrumentalist, Zander is a full-time member of Cheap Trick, with seamless facility on guitar, bass, drums, and backing vocals. With lush immersive harmonies, Zander delivers vintage pop rock with a modern twist – a taste of ‘60s British invasion, ‘70s punk, ‘80s new wave, and ‘90s alternative – a sonic palette that’s Zander’s own.
For his new single, “All She Wrote,” Zander channels his full creative vision — writing, singing, and playing every instrument himself. It’s Zander alone on guitars, drums, bass, keyboards, and vocals. Co-produced with rock legend Jack Douglas (Aerosmith, John Lennon, Cheap Trick) and mixed by Douglas with renowned engineer Jay Messina (Kiss, Peter Frampton), the track delivers a deeply personal, unfiltered solo effort that resonates with raw, poetic emotion.
A music career was inevitable for Robin Taylor Zander. It’s in his heart, his soul — and his very DNA. “RTZ,” whose father is the founding frontman for iconic rock band Cheap Trick, drops his new single “All She Wrote,” following his acclaimed debut solo album, The Distance in 2023. A versatile multi-instrumentalist, Robin is now a full-time member of Cheap Trick, a seamless utility player on guitar, bass, drums, and backing vocals.
