Robin Kester – Perspective

Robin Kester understands that wisdom often comes wrapped in darkness. Her latest single ‘Perspective’ explores this paradox with the kind of understated brilliance that marks her best work. As the second preview from her upcoming album ‘Dark Sky Reserve’, it reveals an artist unafraid to excavate brutal truths.

“It is sinister, but at the same time there’s hope in it,” Kester explains. “You need to go to a dark place first to get that kind of perspective.” This isn’t simple philosophy, it’s hard-won insight translated into song. The track captures that peculiar moment when despair transforms into clarity, when hitting bottom becomes the foundation for something better.

With half the album now available, the scope of ‘Dark Sky Reserve’ becomes clearer. Kester has crafted something that refuses easy comfort, while never abandoning the possibility of redemption.

The timing feels intentional—Kester is touring extensively through autumn, including shows with This is the Kit and Hannah Frances. These collaborations suggest an artist interested in community rather than competition, building something larger than individual ambition.
