"robin Gibb"

Robin Gibb's solo debut was a dark, melancholic work of orchestral beauty and featured Robin's first solo single "Saved By The Bell".
"Robin’s Reign" is an eccentric solo set from Robin, showing an imaginative mind bursting with creativity. Lavishly orchestrated and with multi-layered vocals this was the only full-length solo effort by any of the Gibb brothers to see the light of day during this period, which contributes to its cult status.
"Robin's Reign" also included the European hit single "August October".

Unlike Robin Gibb's initial foray into solo work in 1969, his recordings in the early '80s did not signal a split in the Bee Gees, but instead came during a much needed hiatus in the parent group's career. The only moment at which his second career appeared to be about to catch fire came in the spring of 1984, when his single "Boys Do Fall in Love" (contained herein) rose into the Top 40 on the pop charts and the Top Ten on the dance charts. Then, this album came out and stiffed, and that was pretty much that. In retrospect, Secret Agent is interesting as a competent take on early '80s synth/dance pop (with a sound closer to the Buggles than the Bee Gees) and is an example of what twin brothers Robin and Maurice (who co-produced and co-wrote all the songs and played keyboards and synthesizers) are capable of without big brother Barry.

This album consists of the best of the last solo recordings made by Robin, mainly recorded between 2006 and 2008. When Robin started making what would eventually become his final solo album, he always knew that it would be titled “50 St. Catherine’s Drive” – the address of the house where he lived when he was born in Douglas, on the Isle of Man. Robin planned the album to be a reflective, sometimes autobiographical album, and this intent has been heightened by the inclusion of what is almost certainly the last song Robin ever wrote or sung.

"Magnet" is the fifth solo album by Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees, released in 2003. The song "Love Hurts" was originally recorded by The Everly Brothers, and he re-recorded the songs "Another Lonely Night in New York" (originally released in 1983 on How Old Are You?) and "Wish You Were Here" (released in 1989, from the Bee Gees' album One).

Robin has a very simple reason for his new solo record, after 17 years there is so much material that inspired and excited him, he thought it was about time to release at least a small amount of it. All who love his unmistakable voice are yearning to finally hear the new album. The new longplay 'Magnet' has been produced in Los Angeles and London. Robin chose Deacon to produce (well known for his success with K-Ci & JoJo, Mary J. Blige, Keith Sweat and Hinda Hicks). The record contains tracks written by Robin, Barry and Maurice, as well as other songwriters favored by Robin. Influenced by soul music, Robin decided to combine this with the magnificent lyrics and lush melodies which are his trademark. On the new album you will find all these elements in abundance plus some old tracks, which have been updated.

"Walls Have Eyes" was produced together with Atlantic veteran Tom Dowd. It was a melodic pop record fitting in well with the trends of the time and remains the favourite Robin Gibb solo CD of many fans.
