After their successful album Radio Strange, released in April 2024, and an incredible year of festival performances and headline shows, the Swiss mysterious dark electro/synth-pop duo Blackbook is back with “I Am Not A Robot” - a powerful synthpop anthem that hits you right in the heart.
Blackbook, with a modern blend of futurepop, darkwave, synthwave, and darkpop, crafts a sound that is nothing short of extraordinary. When the machines take over, it’s time to fight back with beats - “I Am Not A Robot”!
With its modern synth-pop sound, 80s wave flair, and memorable vocals, this track captures the strength of the human spirit in a digital world. With catchy melodies that shine through the darkness, this song will have you dancing while feeling more alive than ever. This is your moment to break free and rise above the noise. The single is out now via darkTunes Music Group. Link
