   About Robbie McDonald
Mighty Quiet CD now available for download at iTunes and at www.robbiemcdonald.muxtape.com. Buy full CD at www.cdbaby.com/cd/robbiemcdonald for lyrics, photos and more! The songs you hear here are new songs, stripped bare to vocal and piano. GCN gave Mighty Quiet a four out of four-star review, referring to Mighty Quiet as "one hell of a debut." Recent press: "Gay relationships often take unexpected turns, but when singer/songwriter Robbie McDonald suggested that his boyfriend take up meditation, it was the beginning of a very strange end, and a brilliant debut... It's a quiet, spiritual album that can't stop itself from bursting forth with a kind of post-Sondheim Broadway flavour, like Hedwig and the Angry Inch meets Damien Rice." GCN, Ireland "Immediately one of my all-time favourite CDs." Dermod Moore, Hot Press Hot Press also had this to say about Mighty Quiet in a preview: "Robbie McDonald, US-born with Irish parents, has his debut solo album out in January. It promises to be an impressive work, with McDonald's classy voice applied to an intelligent cycle of songs about the breakup of a gay relationship and its heartbreaking aftermath. The slightly jaunty 'Blood in Ice Cream' offers optimism in the face of disappointment, with McDonald's winsome harmonised vocals adding serious depths to a catchy song. 'Comic Book Hero' is more introspective and moody, with some fine piano under a brooding vocal, while 'Your Clouds' opens with a nagging keyboard riff that stays in your head forever. All very stimulating stuff that guarantees at least one decent Irish album next year." Ticketmaster's W'end 411 said: With vocals ranging from the velvety tones of Orbison to the dynamic force of Mercury, McDonald is a talent to watch out for. Robbie writes achingly beautiful piano pop gems with hooks that simply won't let go.

Hey there,

I'm giving "Blood in ice cream" a spin tonight on the show. 8pm GMT, that's probably half past too early in the morning for you, but just to let you know that someone, somewhere is listening.

Love to you,

Ray
