The project will drop this fall
Cheap Trick’s Robin Taylor Zander has announced that his new self-titled album will be released on October 17th via Confidential Records. He’s also shared the sunny yet melancholic new single “She Can’t Turn Back Now,” which is accompanied by a Jon Gillies-directed video. The track follows singles “All She Wrote” and “Nobody’s Home.”
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 Robin’s own.
Co-produced with rock legend Jack Douglas (Aerosmith, John Lennon, Cheap Trick) and mixed by Douglas with renowned engineer Jay Messina (Kiss, Peter Frampton), Zander’s new album 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 “She Can’t Turn Back Now,” 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.
