Robert Marleigh · The 25th Century Crooner
A New EP by Robert Marleigh
Watch the Teaser
Needle on the Rim is the inaugural jazz volume of The Shared Frequency Initiative — a production series designed to synchronize artists across geopolitical divides.
Recorded remotely with contributors from Cambodia, Thailand, New Orleans, and Italy, the EP was assembled while regional borders remained physically closed — a quiet act of creative defiance.
A fusion of timeless Great American Songbook standards, bold cinematic reinterpretations, and a neon-lit noir aesthetic evoking mid-century Saigon.
Velvet-toned vocal jazz meets a speakeasy reimagining of Soundgarden’s Black Hole Sun, and an original spoken-word title track channeling Burroughs and Chandler.

About the Artist
A light baritone crooner channeling vintage and golden age song through a modern lens. Drawing from Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nick Cave, Scott Walker, and Jim Morrison, Marleigh performs Rat Pack-era standards and reimagined covers that bend genre boundaries.
A dual US-UK citizen trained in New York, based in Indochina — collaborating internationally through Camerado Media’s Shared Frequency Initiative.
