Produced by the talented Andrew Wells, known for his work with big names like Halsey and Phoebe Bridgers, this single is a sonic treat. Co-written with a star-studded team including Theo Hutchcraft and David Sneddon, ‘The Slowest Landslide’ is poised to resonate with anyone who’s ever felt the sting of love lost. Roberts himself describes the song as “the most natural and complete thing I’ve written,” and honey, we can feel that raw emotion.
“I’m finally starting to come to terms with that chapter and this feels like the beginning of that,” Roberts shares, giving us a glimpse into his healing process. The chorus, with its poignant lyric, “as I slip away from you,” perfectly encapsulates the bittersweet journey of moving on. This isn’t just music; it’s a heartfelt narrative that many in the LGBTQ community can relate to.
But wait, there’s more! The music video for ‘The Slowest Landslide’ is set to premiere at The Arzner on May 10, featuring a live performance from Roberts himself.
