His musical career began at the early age of eleven, when he started working on the well known, London-based sound system, Saxon International Sound alongside Papa Levi, Maxi Priest and Smiley Culture to name a few. During that time, Roger developed skills in piano playing, song writing and his vocal techniques. Roger Robin is a talented singer with a distinctive harmonic and melodic voice. Roger considers song writing and the ability to play instruments an important aspect of his craft. Much of Roger's songs are in keeping with the traditional reggae focus on Roots, Culture and Reality. The harmonies and lyrics of his songs are fine examples of his creativity and the versatility of reggae music, which has awarded him to write songs for Top International Artists such as Thriller U and Marcia Griffiths to name a few. In 1992 Roger started to record for Producer/Song writer Rowen Johnson of Love Injection Production. Out of this relationship came a co-writing catalogue of original songs and rhythms. So far, Roger has released three albums, namely Undiluted released in 1993 (his debut album) which received the British Reggae Industries Best British Reggae Album Award. His second album Reflections was released in 1995 which the single More Love from that album was awarded Best British Reggae Industries Best Single. His third album Robin was released in 2001. All three albums were released under Love Injection Production Label. As Roger's recording career grew, he found himself meeting and working with some of the best artist, producers and engineers in the industry namely: Sly and Robbie, Clive Hunt, Robbie Lyn, Fatta, Mikey "Mao" Chung, David Rowe, Dean Fraser, Collin "Bulby" York and guitarist "Guitsie", to name a few. In 2001, Roger described as having the pleasure of performing on the Tribute to Garnet Silk show held in Saint Elizabeth in Jamaica and in 2002 he toured Africa with I Jah Man Levi. In 2005 Roger also had the great honour to work on the same stage as an opening act for Beres Hammond and Marcia Griffiths. Most of Roger's songs are original in lyrical content, profound in their reasoning and far reaching in their message. These are songs of substance, direction and of the bittersweet realities of life. In 2005, Roger went to the US for a visit which eventually led him to meeting the dynamic duo producer Lloyd Campbell (Joe Fraser Record Label) and sound engineer Jason Sterling. Mr. Campbell gave Roger the opportunity to record his fourth album; which this album Take It Slow promises to take you on a musical journey from the beginning to the very last drop!

Roger Robin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoa Does Anybody Care Now
Makes You Wonder Now
Can′t Wait For The Wind To Close
Friday Evening Rolling
Whoa This Nine To Five Is Killing Me Down
I Can't Win
Sure Dimension My Concentration Just Get Disturbed Sometimes
With More Bad Days Than Good Now
A Tribulation Time
Every Day Is A Brand New Crisis
Maintenance Just Keeps Rising
Say
How Long Can We Keep Fighting
Take It Easy
Can′t Afford To Overlook Now
And You Know You've Done Your Best
Running So Many Jobs
Thrown Yourself Into The Ground
To Find You're In The Same Spot
Iam Not Asking For No Miracles No
A Moment In Time
Finding The Open Door If Opportunity
To Change My Life
Cause Everyday Is A Brand New Crisis
Maintenance Just Keeps Rising
Say Say How Long Can We Keep Fighting,Yeah
Got To Take It Easy Don′t Afford To Roll Over Over Now
Take It Easy
Whoo Everyday Is A Brand New Crisis
Maintenance Just Keeps Rising
Whoo And How Long Shall We Keep Fighting
Got To Take It Easy
Can′t Afford To Over Now
There Are Millions And More Of This Iam Sure
Who Feel The Same Way
Cost Of Living So Destasteful
The State Feels The Pain
So How Can We Look to The Future
In This Way
I See So Much Devastation
Someone Will Pay
Cause Everyday Is A Brand New Crisis
Maintenance Just Keeps Rising
How Long Can We Keep Fighting
I Got To Take It Easy
And Afford To Over Look
