KINGSTON, Jamaica — Gospel singer‑songwriter Roxanne Robinson has watched her first full‑length project, Still Standing, blossom into a quiet phenomenon since its independent release last October.
Issued through her self‑titled imprint, the 11‑track set represents more than two years of studio work and decades of personal testimony. “The songs read like pages from my diary,” Robinson told the Observer this week. “I wanted listeners—whether church‑goers or complete skeptics—to hear honest stories of survival and worship.”
The collection threads together buoyant praise (Caribbean Medley), reflective anthems (Still Standing), and soaring devotionals (Release). Early radio play and social‑media chatter suggest those three tracks are early fan favorites, but Robinson insists the album is designed as a start‑to‑finish encounter. “If people finish the final song with fresh hope, I’ve done my job,” she said.
Robinson’s path began at age 12, harmonising in her local youth choir and performing duets with her sister. A self‑titled EP in 2015 marked her entrance into recording; subsequent singles Yahweh, Release Your Power, and Holy Rock of Ages cemented her reputation for heartfelt lyricism. Still, the singer admits that bringing a full album to life demanded a different level of endurance.
“We built a small circle who prayed, produced, and pushed through every deadline,” she explained. “Faith fed us when the budget ran thin; determination kept the vision on track.”
With strong digital streams and bookings stacking up, Robinson is intent on widening her reach. Current plans include an island‑wide promotional tour, brand partnerships under her growing “kingdom business,” and community outreach initiatives aimed at youth choirs. “I’ll follow wherever God sends next,” she said, “but right now the mission is simple—get this music into as many hearts and homes as possible.”
Still Standing is available on all major digital platforms.
