AceShowbiz - Robin Schorr, the artist behind Blond in Car, released her new album GLIDER on November 4. The ten-track record was produced entirely by Melina Duterte, also known as Jay Som, and features collaborations with Missy Dabice of Mannequin Pussy, Christie Simpson of Yumi Zouma, BEL, Jack Newsome and Liam Benzvi.

The focus track is Shaky Day, featuring Jay Som. According to Schorr, the song is about the person who knows how to talk you down when everything feels wrong, and for her that person is most often her older sister, Lynn, whose reassuring voice offers perspective when self-doubt takes over.

"I had the idea and the name of this song for years and I tried to write it a couple of times with different melodies, different lyrics. But it never came out quite right," Schorr said. "Then when I started to work on the album with Melina, it crossed my mind again and this time, it came together just right. Melina sang a bunch of beautiful, epic harmonies on it and the song became one of maximum kindness in just the way I hoped."

GLIDER captures Schorr in a period of personal upheaval, reckoning with an unexpectedly ended marriage, complicated family history, questions of self-worth and the bewildering business of understanding other people. Yet even at its most vulnerable, the album never loses its sense of humor or its affection for the world.

"Life is crazy beautiful and, simultaneously, one big heartbreak," Schorr said. "I like when these two opposites coincide and rub against each other in an infectious bittersweet way, both lyrically and musically."

That spirit of kindness runs through the album, even as Schorr confronts the experiences that have left her bruised. On Bad Dad, featuring Dabice, she reckons with the lasting effects of a difficult relationship with her father and the ways it has shaped her romantic life. Both devastating and defiantly funny, the viral single transforms deeply personal pain into a cathartic, communal singalong.

Elsewhere, Soft Touch, featuring Simpson, explores the vulnerability of opening one's heart after divorce, asking whether a soft heart is a gift or a liability. On If You Were My Brother, featuring BEL, Schorr imagines that having a brother might have made navigating men a little easier, building a funny, unexpectedly moving portrait of loneliness and the longing for a bond that will last. How To Be a Mystery, featuring Newsome, pairs an effortlessly groovy, carefree surface with the unrequited longing inspired by an almost impossibly alluring woman. And on Come To My Funeral, Schorr contemplates the strange sadness of knowing that many of the younger friends she's made through music will outlive her, turning the prospect of being forgotten into a bittersweet request to be remembered.

The album's emotional range extends beyond romance and family. Driving Thru finds Schorr contemplating the alternate lives glimpsed through a car window, while Looking For Proof considers the endless pursuit of external validation and the question of whether creative fulfillment can ever be measured by accolades. Eyeshadow Blue, featuring Benzvi, looks back on the idealism and intellectual restlessness of college, capturing the strange intimacy of a time when every conversation seemed capable of changing the world.

The seeds of GLIDER were planted with Come True, written while Schorr waited to find out whether Duterte would agree to produce her music. The song became their first recording together and a creative turning point for Schorr, who pushed beyond her usual narrative-driven songwriting toward a looser structure and a more groove-oriented sound shaped by Duterte's bass playing. What began as a single song grew into an EP, then an entire album. Duterte ultimately produced all ten tracks, helping Schorr build a record that feels expansive without losing the intimacy at the heart of her songwriting.

Schorr's path to this moment has been anything but conventional. After a career in film, she began learning to write songs, initially intending to create music for other singers. Eventually, she stepped in front of the microphone herself, sharing original songs and dreamy covers in intimate performances filmed in her kitchen, often with an Omnichord perched on an ironing board. A homemade performance of My High Gummygirl went viral, helping build a devoted community of more than 750,000 followers, with fans including SZA, Rosalía, AURORA and Marina.

Since then, Blond in Car has earned praise from Anthony Fantano, editorial support from Spotify, Apple Music and TIDAL, and live opportunities alongside artists including CMAT and The Two Lips. In 2026, Schorr has continued to expand the world around her music, bringing her candid songwriting and singular perspective to new audiences while building toward her first headline shows.

With GLIDER, Blond in Car offers something more lasting than a viral moment: a collection of deeply personal, endlessly melodic songs that make room for life's contradictions. Schorr's ultimate ambition is simple: to create "really pretty timeless songs that are as catchy as they are penetrating about life, its joys and its sorrows." On GLIDER, she does exactly that.

Blond in Car's GLIDER is available now on all digital streaming platforms.
