Live Devotion is Robin Renée's first recording dedicated wholly to sacred chant. Borne of one inspired recording session in October 2006, the seven long tracks evoke peace, passion, and the presence of Universal Love. With the sexy, rock feel of "Jai Ma" to the more traditional "Sita Ram" to the fun, ‘peace-army’ multi-part "Om Shanti Krishna," Live Devotion is a fresh take on an ancient tradition. The seven long tracks are songs to evoke joy, stillness, dance, insight, tears, expansion, and connection.
Accessible tunes with a spiritual twist have forged Robin’s personal genre--Mantra-Pop! The seeds of her diverse influences (acts as disparate as Elvis Costello, Krishna Das, James Taylor, Gary Wilson, and Devo) can be uncovered therein, as well as a longtime focus on Eastern and eclectic mysticism, the mystery that cuts to the core of this powerful singer and wordsmith. At a live show today you might catch Robin Renée at a solo acoustic singer/songwriter set, in a collaboration, or leading kirtan- the call-and-response form of Hindu-based devotional chanting in Sanskrit prominent on Live Devotion.
Renee's most recent alt-folk offering, All Six Senses, is the real-life chronicle of one caught in the act of cosmic transformation. Themes of love, seeking, and celebration emerge through a medium of edgy rock, accomplished singer/songwriter lyricism, understated pop hooks.
Sorry it took me so long to get on here. We went to the Toledo show. It was the Yagermeister tour and the sound guys kinda sucked. Type o's mics kept going in and out and stuff. I was a little disappointed. It wasn't their fault. That snake guy was with the tour. Tattoo and forked tongue guy. Anyway, it was fun. Hope u had a good trip home. We need to hit up some New Wave concert or something... Maybe the Chameleons or some shit. lol. TTYL's

Just wanted to say it was great seeing you at Wicker Man and also thank you for making me get out there and dance. In all the times I have been to 4 Quarters, I've always been too self conscious to just get out there and do it, but once I did it was wonderful, so thank you sincerely. Hope to see you at another event soon.
I'm Digging your peaceful vibes Miss Robin Renee......the universal harmonies are arranged and the cycle continues. In All Galactic Sincerity, Konschdumickafonga
