Edmonton-based Métis electro-pop musician Robin Cisek is excited to announce the release of her new single and video ‘Zeus’, which is out today on all digital streaming platforms. Watch the video here.
Produced by JUNO-Award winning producers Brad Simons and Brandon Unis, ‘Zeus’ is Robin’s first release since her acclaimed debut album Delicate Minds in June 2021.
“I wanted to create an upbeat song with building vocals and stacked harmonies that took my listeners to another world,” says Robin. “I have always enjoyed reading and watching stories from history and the stories about the Greek gods, particularly the ones about Zeus, have always been very interesting to me. Zeus, a Greek god, who many have heard about through story, is not a consistently moral individual through his relationships and violent choices, but he is still idealized for his strength, power and representation of masculinity and he is worshipped for that. I wanted to playfully point out how his immorality is simultaneous but contradictory to his intrigue and godliness to the public as a powerful figure. I wanted to make a connection between relationships and how these contradictions can often create dangerous, harmful, and addictive relationships.”
Robin Cisek emerged into her music career after years of struggles with health problems. Robin’s inspiration comes from her experiences and her Indigenous heritage, which takes form in her music through concepts, alternative beats, and lyrics.
Robin released her first commercial song with the guidance of Grammy-Award winning mixers and producers in NYC. Since her first song release, Robin has been on the Indigenous Music Countdown top 10 a total of four times. Robin’s single, “Waiting on You” claimed the #1 spot on the IMC (May 2019) and remained on the top 40 for 24 weeks consecutively.
On her debut album Delicate Minds, released in 2021, Robin created a cohesive project comprising 6 songs that discuss the emotional aspects of mental health. After the release of her album, her career has been on an upward momentum. At the end of 2021, Robin was named the winner of the C-Tribe Music Verse competition (October 2021) and chosen as an AFA featured artist (September 2021). In 2022, she was named 1 of 7 Indigenous artists in Canada to take part in the Indigenous Music Accelerator program, and was one of 10 artists to participate in the Indigenous Women in Music residency.
‘Zeus’ is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit robincisekmusic.com.
