Robert wrote two dedicated songs and will make a 2$ donation to charities to prevent violence against women and to homeless shelter organizations for every album downloaded or bought on CD. “This  is only a water drip contribution, but the least we can do could be a wave to others”. Note also that Robert assumes overall recording, producing and marketing costs of his CD.
 
According to his record company, the CD will be available in stores on october 13, while the digital download release being made available today, exclusively for 60 days, via www.robertberiau.com.
 
This album features a collaboration with  drummer Lee Levin, who played with major international artists (Christina Aguilara, Ricky Martin, Barbra Streisand, Micheal Bolton, Enrique Iglesias, etc…), canadian mezzo-soprano coloratura Catherine Denis-Gagnon and also Elad Fish from Los Angeles. “They all are incredible musicians” said Robert.
 
“I had a real pleasure creating this album. The lyrics and the music represent my reflection upon increasing poverty and violence around the world and our inaction over it”, said Robert. “There is two sides (“A” and “B”) on this CD, and I am not refering to the “vinyl age” of music, but rather on the fact that there is always two sides or points of view upon any problem or gesture we pose”.
 
“For this second solo album, I really took my time (3 years) for writing music, so these songs make you feel different after listening…as myself after writing them” !
