EMMY® Award-nominated actor, comedian, singer, and songwriter John Roberts is excited to announce the forthcoming release of his debut EP Looking. Produced byJonathan Bates (Big Black Delta/Mellowdrone), the EP will be released on July 26 and today he reveals the title track by way of a video shot by Ned Stresen-Reuter.  Powered by vintage electro spark, indie panache, and pop bombast, it will make you move. Of the track John notes, “The lyrics are pretty self-explanatory, depending on what your state-of-mind is. Everyone is looking for the same thing on the dance floor. I don’t think anyone is looking for love in the club. It was the best way to introduce this EP.” Listen to “Looking” here

The New Jersey native’s deep-seated love for the artform can be traced back to his childhood. “At the roller rink, I got really into Rick James, The Sugarhill Gang, Run D.M.C., The Gap Band, and all of the classics,” he recalls. “I first heard ‘Rapper’s Delight’, while roller skating.

The entire collection unlocks another side of Roberts. He confidently steps into a new role as a larger-than-life electro rockstar as brilliant as he is bombastic. It’s just the right time for him to unleash this body of work.

“We’re in some really hot water these days, but the music isn’t too political all the same,” he leaves off. “I hope it can be a release and make listeners feel all-inclusive in the end.”
