Robert (singer)

In 2021 she released her first album under Légendaires 'Le chant des égarés', Sauveur Carlus is in charge of the design and illustrations.

In 2017 she divorced Mathieu Saladin (ex composer and musician) and launched her new independent label "Légendaire"

In 2009, Givenchy chose Robert to perform the soundtrack of the TV commercial for their latest fragrance, Ange ou Démon le secret. The ad, directed by the famous Indian director Mira Nair and starring Uma Thurman, aired worldwide in September 2009. The song was additionally used by one of Michelle Phan's videos.

A year later, in late 2008, she recorded her new studio album under the title Sourde et aveugle, collaborating once again with her husband Mathieu Saladin and also Austyn, a young French blues musician with whom she sang "Le jardin des roses". Acoustic guitars fused with her feminine often childlike ethereal voice marked the new sound of the album.

On 5 February 2006, Robert performed in Paris's legendary Olympia music hall, for the first time in her sixteen-year career. Two new songs were added to the album's 2007 re-edition, including "Cold Earth", an adaptation of Henry Purcell's "Cold Song", well known by Klaus Nomi's interpretation.

In November 2006, Robert signed with a new distributor, Rue Stendhal. Coming with the deal, all her albums were re-released in January 2007 and became available after being out of stock for many years. Additionally in the beginning of 2007, she released Princess of Nowhere, a collection of some of her old songs plus two new re-orchestrated "Mike" and "Fatal", all adapted and sung in English. A DVD of her recital Haute Couture at Espace Pierre Cardin in Paris was released in October 2007.

In 2005, she released her first live DVD from her 2004 artistically acclaimed performance in La Cigale.

In November 2005, Robert recorded her fourth album, Six pieds sous terre, featuring more acoustic instrumentation (harpsichord, clarinet, harp, violins, flute) and more dramatic, fairy-like atmosphere than her previous works. The album included eleven songs written by Robert, as well as a cover of Marie Laforêt's "Prière pour aller au paradis", and a duet ("Histoire du loup") with actor Sacha Bourdo. French film director Gabriel Aghion directed his first ever music video for the album's first single, "Personne".

Unutma (N'oublie pas) was a compilation of old and (three) new songs released in 2004, one of the new songs was "Unutma" and it was sung in Turkish. A particular track from Robert's previous studio album, "Le Prince bleu", caught the attention of American actress Majandra Delfino, who wanted to collaborate with the artist and whom subsequently Robert paid a visit in California in 2003 in order to record a new version of the song, finally included in Unutma. This duet gave also birth to a computer animated video, that received several awards worldwide. "Nickel" was furthermore remixed by Romain Tranchart in 2003.

In September 2002, Robert released her third album, Celle qui tue, comprising 14 songs. The album stylistically featured a more electronic sound and illustrated Robert's image metamorphosis from a princess-like style into a witch/siren artistic representation. Amélie Nothomb wrote the lyrics for six of the songs of Celle qui tue and published The Book of Proper Names, a romanticized biography of Robert.

In the same year, she met a fervent admirer: the Belgian prolific writer Amélie Nothomb. Nothomb went on to write "L'appel de la succube", interpreted by the singer on the second edition of Princesse de rien released in 2000. Around the same period, Robert gave her first Parisian concert in the Café de la Danse.

In 1997, Robert released her second album, Princesse de rien, which comprised twelve songs. The album reflected a complete change in her musical style, using ancient baroque instruments blended with electronic loops and modern choreographic structures.

Three years later, in 1993, she released her debut album Sine, which featured 16 songs. She has been working for at least five years until the album finally materialized. Sonically and aesthetically, its style can be well described as having an underground cold-techno direction, gathering influences from children's fairytales and urban, glacial, inhuman images.

In November 1990, Robert released her first single, "Elle se promène", partially produced by Neal Aston in London. This first song aired frequently on French radio and even became a dance hit in Japan. The music, together with the cold atmosphere of its music video directed by John Lvoff, attracted the interest of Mylène Farmer, who invited the young artist to join her in two radio shows. Robert therefore appeared with Mylène Farmer and even performed in one of the shows presented by Nagui.
