ArccaPolo is a Belgian-Brazilian singer and songwriter from Brussels. Robot is the next single for his upcoming album Equation. Contrastingly, it brings into light a more sombre side to his music. In a more electronic rock-oriented arrangement, ArccaPolo experiments with distorted guitars, hard percussions and raw vocals in a song that is simultaneously enraged and melancholic, soft and hard, resentful and remorseful. Once more the singer resorts to a character, this time of a robot inspired directly from the stories of one of his favourite sci-fi writers, to create the antithesis of Asimov’s perfect machine. One that can love and that can harm the ones it loves. One that should be bounded by laws but that follows no law. One that should not exist but that represents the perfect image of the singer’s past mistakes.

Would you fear a defective robot too?
