Everybody Knows is the debut album from Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/producer Sharon Robinson. The set, which was independently released in August 2008 in the US and has just been released on April 6, 2009 by Freeworld Records in the UK, contains five new songs and five previously written tracks, including three songs co-written with Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame inductee Leonard Cohen. You can listen to all of the cuts on the myspace player, including the Cohen classic "Everybody Knows," which Sharon co-wrote.

Sharon is touring as a featured vocalist in Leonard Cohen's band on his 2008-2009 World Tour. See Upcoming Shows on the right for all the tour dates and details.

"Invisible Tattoo" Music Video












"✮✮✮✮." We're talking major talent here."
"Robinson is a sensuous singer, a real lights-down-low performer who picks up where Sade left off." -- Fred Dellar, Mojo (UK)

“✮✮✮✮✮.” Packs a big emotional punch.”
-- Andy Gill, The Independent (UK)

"Robinson's vocal powers are seductive...sensual and reflective."
--Neil Spencer, Uncut (UK)

"She blows us away...In a word: perfection."
-- Malcolm Carter, Pennyblack Music (UK)

“Robinson has a soulful, sensual voice that entices the listener."
"These are love songs for the educated, while simultaneously accessible to everyone else...as literate as they are emotional; they are as intelligent as they are passionate."-- Al Kaufman, Atlanta Music Guide

"Classy, sophisticated adult soul."
"...evokes favourable comparison to Joni Mitchell's jazz moods, Sade and Roberta Flack." -- Mike Davies, Birmingham 101 (UK)

"A Knockout!...The best I've heard in a long time."
"Beautiful songs, great arrangements and a super voice." -- Alex Allan, Nevis Radio, Scotland

“Classy Stuff.”
“With a deliciously insinuating delivery, Robinson pours her voice atop a warm bed of sultry beats, tasteful backing vocals and a sensual, introspective groove.” – David Pulizzi, Jazziz

"An album that begs to be listened to on a pair of headphones."
"Fans of her production work on Cohen’s past two releases (Ten New Songs and Dear Heather) will love Everybody Knows as it is steeped in the same provocative and seductive blend of easygoing electronic beats." -- Jason Gladu, Popjournalism.ca

"In a word: Brilliant."
"A fantastic piece of work." -- Steve Burnett, Black Diamond 107.8FM, UK

“Everybody should know about Sharon Robinson.”
“Endowed with a rich, soulful alto - landing somewhere between Roberta Flack, Cassandra Wilson, and Sade Adu - Robinson breathes immeasurable levels of misty-eyed longing and downhearted reflection into her songs, thus delivering far more than simply a gorgeous voice floating above subtle electronic textures. Fans of the lights-down-low atmospherics and mellow-soul of Zero 7 should find themselves similarly engrossed by this disc.”
-- Todd Lavoie, San Francisco Bay Guardian

“Everybody Knows is one of the sultriest albums of the year.”
“Every once in a while an unknown voice hits you and won't let go. SHARON ROBINSON possesses one of those instruments. Turn the lights down low and let the melodies and lyrics from songs like Invisible Tattoo, Party for the Lonely put you in a special place.” – Bill Vaughn, Tasty Clips

"✮✮✮ ½” (out of four). Well worth the playing.”
"You know one minute into the lead track (“Invisible Tattoo”) on Sharon Robinson's Everybody Knows that this album shines the spotlight on its poetry, and that the exquisite, varied musical arrangements are going to take a backseat to the lyrics. For the record, that entirely works in its favor.” – Bob Werner, Frontiers Magazine

“One of the Top 10 albums of 2008."
"The music has a molasses-like magnetic pull that holds you captive to the very last note." -- A. Scott Galloway, Urban Network

"Invisible Tattoo," is the new album's signature track and one of the finest adult pop songs of 2008."
"And in a market that is deathly short on intelligent, high quality adult pop music, Everybody Knows is an auspicious, welcome first offering by a talented artist whose time in the sun has thankfully arrived." -- Chris Rizik, SoulTracks

"People have to wonder why they have not heard her played on commercial radio.”
"Sharon Robinson’s vocals are reminiscent of Sade…Her songs on Everybody Knows evoke feelings of optimism, sorrow and a will to survive all wrapped in a soothing cloth of love.” – Susan Francis, Abyss Jazz

Dear Sharon

I came to see Leonard cohen at weybridge, in what was one of the best moments of my life. Thank you so much for your part in the night, your backing vocals and your solo pieces. Your voice live is breathtaking, and works so well along side Leonard, who is unbeatable.

Thank you for a night to remember forever......

As you travel around the world on this amazing tour, allow yourself to (taste and savor) all the sweet exotic flavors of this wonderous adventure! It will truely be a 'transformational' experience. Enjoy each moment. Make sure everybody gets lots of 'energizing' hugs of support. This little note is your 'virtual' hug of support. ~Safe Travels~ ~Tonight you are in Toulouse, France. Here is a souvenir~

Thank you for responding to my friend request. Only recently have I discovered Leonard Cohen. I was thrilled as I immersed myself in his voice, poems & songs. I read his book on 'Longing' straight through(not stopping until the end). Then I wanted 'more', so I bought his CD-'Live in London'. That is where I discovered 'YOU' and your ('VOICE', essence, manner & grace). You are on quite a long tour. I wish you well & hope your spirit continues to soar high on this 'journey'. Thank you for sharing your beautiful 'gift'. You are a delight~
