Our Take

Robb Johnson's latest album, "Minimum Wages / Bodger: My Part In His Downfall," is a delightful romp through the tumultuous world of work and labor relations. Johnson's witty lyrics and catchy melodies draw in the listener with ease, weaving a narrative that is both thought-provoking and toe-tapping.

The album kicks off with the title track, "Minimum Wages," a rollicking tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Johnson's cheeky delivery and sharp social commentary make for an engaging listening experience, as he delves into the struggles of the working class with a light touch and a heavy heart.

"Bodger: My Part In His Downfall" takes a more personal turn, with Johnson reflecting on his own experiences in the music industry and the highs and lows of artistic expression. The raw emotion in his voice is palpable, drawing the listener in and inviting them to empathize with his journey.

Overall, "Minimum Wages / Bodger: My Part In His Downfall" is a testament to Johnson's skill as a songwriter and performer. His ability to tackle weighty subjects with levity and charm is truly impressive, making this album a must-listen for fans of folk music and social commentary alike. Johnson may not be a household name (yet), but with albums like this, he's well on his way to the top. Keep an eye out for this rising star in the music industry.

About the artist

Robb Johnson

Introducing the enigmatic singer-songwriter, Robb Johnson. With a name that sounds more like a protagonist in a spy thriller than a musician, Johnson has been making waves in the UK music scene for over three decades. Hailing from Brighton, this indie darling is often hailed as a modern-day troubadour, drawing inspiration from the likes of Woody Guthrie and Billy Bragg. Known for his witty and politically charged lyrics, Johnson's music is a unique blend of folk, punk, and protest anthems. His rich, gravelly voice has a raw honesty that cuts through the noise, making you sit up and take notice. Whether he's railing against the injustices of the world or singing about love lost and found, there's a passion and authenticity in his music that is hard to ignore. Despite not achieving mainstream success, Johnson has a loyal following of fans who appreciate his unapologetically outspoken nature and his refusal to conform to industry norms. He's a true maverick in a world of cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured personas. So, if you're tired of the same old tired radio hits and want something with a bit more substance, give Robb Johnson a listen. Who knows, you might just find yourself singing along to his catchy tunes while pondering the state of the world.
