Robbie Rapids – “Class 2 Rapids”

Robbie Rapids released his second solo album Class 2 Rapids. The album blends different styles, with classic rock at the center and touches of pop, folk, alternative country, and metal.

The songs feel thought-out, not thrown together. “Hang Loose” takes on the stress that comes with chasing success and flips it into a reminder to relax and let go. “Dance with Me” plays like a scene you’ve probably lived, hoping to see someone again, only to find them with someone else, and “Black Roses” approaches heartbreak from a less typical angle and hits harder because of that.

My favorite track is “Billy the Kid”, then there are songs like “Mule of Mine” and “Fishing the River” that bring in a sense of humor and nostalgia. You can picture the stories as you listen, which adds something extra. Robbie brought in over ten musicians and four other songwriters for this album, and the result feels full of personality and range.

This music is built for listeners who like variety and real stories. Follow Robbie Rapids on social media to stay updated on what he’s got coming up in the new year.
