In the ever-evolving world of music, where genres meld, and new sounds emerge almost daily, it takes a unique talent to stand out. Robert Abernathy is one such artist who has not only carved a niche for himself in the competitive landscape of country music but has also ventured into funk blues with his latest single, “Change My Mind.” Just months after releasing his album “Somewhere Around 18,” which performed well on the iTunes Country music chart, Abernathy is already charting a new course that aims to captivate listeners with its depth and originality.
“Somewhere Around 18” was more than just an album; it was a journey through narratives that resonated with many, reflecting life’s myriad shades. However, not content to rest on his laurels, Abernathy’s artistic spirit sought new challenges, creating “Change My Mind.” This track marks a significant departure from his earlier works, drawing inspiration from icons like Delbert McClinton and infusing traditional blues elements with a funk-inflected twist. Set to release on May 17th across all digital platforms, this single signals Abernathy’s foray into uncharted territories.
What sets “Change My Mind” apart is not just its genre-bending appeal but also the depth of its composition. According to Abernathy, this song has been in development since late 2023, undergoing several iterations before reaching its final form. It represents a deliberate move away from cookie-cutter country music towards something more nuanced and exploratory. The anticipation surrounding its release speaks volumes about Abernathy’s growing influence in the music scene and his ability to engage audiences with fresh and compelling content.
Beyond his solo projects, Robert Abernathy is no stranger to collaboration and performance. He shines as the lead singer for several tribute bands, including Eagle Sunrise (Eagles), Clearwater Rising (CCR), and Alabama Sunset (Alabama), showcasing his versatility across various musical styles. His eponymous band, the Robert Abernathy Band, along with numerous solo and duo shows filling his calendar, underscore a relentless commitment to sharing his musical gifts far and wide.
Abernathy’s success is not merely measured by streaming numbers; it’s found in the connection he establishes with listeners through every note and lyric. His innovative approach to music-making ensures that each project he undertakes is imbued with authenticity and passion—a trait clearly evident in both “Somewhere Around 18” and the eagerly awaited “Change My Mind.”
