Rob Fillo has once again captured our attention with his new single, “Better Man (Red House Studio Demo Take #1)”. This track is an acoustic ballad that is very emotional and personal and it is hard not to get lost in the music. It’s stripped back and simple, it is just Rob singing and playing guitar but that makes it even more effective.
The song takes you through a journey of heartbreak and resilience. It was written during one of the most significant changes in Rob’s life when he lost love, a business, and a home but found hope in nature and music. The lyrics are very honest and the passion in his voice is very powerful, so it is hard not to relate to the story he is telling.
The melodies are captivating and Rob has a great deep soulful voice that really drives the song home. He has a unique ability to engage the audience and make you feel as if you are living the lyrics and the music. The atmosphere is intimate and haunting and the impression remains long after the song is over. What I found most impressive about this artist is that he is able to make his songs very personal but at the same time very relatable. “Better Man” is not only a song but a story of change, recovery, and the strength of the soul.
As someone who has been a fan of Rob’s work for more than a year, it is great to see his creativity and talent continue to shine. This song, as with many of his songs is a blessing to his fans. We were touched by the emotional and stripped down nature of this song. It is the kind of track that makes you appreciate the art of singing and the message that comes with it. If you are new to Rob Fillo, this is a great song to begin with. It is sincere, honest and, yes, it deserves a place on your music player.
