Something Strange

“Something Strange” is the jewel in the crown of 'Swimming Against The Tide' — the final song written for the album and the track that confirmed to Robert and producer Gareth Shortland that the record was finally complete. From its earliest demo, the song carried a kind of emotional gravity that crystallised the themes the era had been circling: awakening, recognition, and the moment the tide turns within you. Critically acclaimed upon release, “Something Strange” quickly became a cornerstone of Robert’s catalogue — praised for its cinematic scope, lyrical depth, and the way it bridges classic synth-pop melancholy with modern electronic atmosphere.
