'*AMERICANA MUSIC ASSOCIATION UK's 2021 UK Artist of the YEAR and 2021 UK Album of the YEAR*'

'It's always the plan to shift a gear, stir something up and tell the truth of where I am in the world ...'

The Liverpool singer/songwriter will release his fourth studio album in 2023 with Vincent having made a more personal album than ever before.

Maintaining his status as one of the most acclaimed voices in the UK Americana scene, Robert's new songs represent a left turn for an artist who is ready for something more.

The new album 'has more of a concise sound,' Robert says. 'The songs arrived throughout 2022 and are born from personal experiences, rather than the social commentary of the last album.'

Robert's third LP, the critically-acclaimed 'In This Town You're Owned', won Americana Music Association UK's 'Album Of The Year' award for 2021. Receiving critical acclaim, the record charted at number 2 in the UK Americana Charts and named in American Songwriter Magazine's top 20 albums (every genre) of 2020.

Vincent's powerful and soulful voice that attracted acolytes such as Bob Harris and Mary Chapin Carpenter still leads the way. In 2016, Harris awarded Robert with his 'Emerging Artist' of the year award at the inaugural UK Americana Awards show describing Vincent as 'absolutely magnetic' and 'the real deal'. In 2018 following the release of Robert's 'I'll Make The Most Of My Sins' (AMAUK Album of The Year 2018) he was invited to perform on the BBC 'Old Grey Whistle Test, For One Night Only' closing the show. It was this performance that would propel him to number 1 and 2 in the iTunes Album and Singles Charts.
