Robby Hecht Drops New Single 'Someone to Dance With'

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Robby Hecht has unveiled “Someone To Dance With,” the latest single and video from his forthcoming LP, Not a Number, set for release on April 12th via Tone Tree Music. “‘Someone to Dance With' explores the perils of navigating a wedding as a recently single person,” said Chorus.fm in their premiere.

“The speeches, vows, music and revelry can be emotionally disastrous for the heartbroken. On the other hand, weddings do present an opportunity to meet someone new and potentially even move forward. Hecht's warm delivery on this single that tugs on all the right heartstrings is sure to make you feel something.”   

The video, directed by Kaitlyn Raitz, Hecht is surrounded by people and their dogs and is constantly reminded of the passing of his pup. By the end, he has rescued a new furry friend, or just maybe, the furry friend has done the rescuing.  

“Someone to Dance With” follows "Old Radio," a nostalgic journey through the various phases of Robby's discovery of music. He says, "I didn't know yet that I'd become a singer-songwriter myself - I just knew that I connected with music like nothing else." Hecht, whose music has been hailed as “pitch-perfect” by The Wall Street Journal, also released several other singles from Not a Number.

His highly anticipated album, Not a Number, is a powerful reflection on the evocative and turbulent journey of the past few years. Featuring 12 introspective tracks, each with the potential to become a personal favorite, the album weaves together themes of divorce, emotional recovery, nostalgia, the unity of humanity, and the profound significance of individual experiences. It is a musical tapestry that resonates deeply with listeners, meeting them wherever they may be on their own life's path.  

Not a Number was produced by veteran singer-songwriter and sought-after guitarist Anthony da Costa, who also contributed much of the arranging and instrumentation on the album. The recording process spanned nearly two years and features notable guest vocal performances by acclaimed artists from Nashville and beyond including Caroline Spence, Jess Nolan, Jill Andrews, Katie Pruitt, Lydia Luce, The Sea The Sea, Ruth Moody, and Trousdale.  

Captivating audiences as a touring singer-songwriter for over two decades, Hecht combines quietly impactful songwriting reminiscent of Tom Waits or Jim Croce with the graceful vocal resonance of James Taylor. With a remarkable blend of insightful lyricism, memorable melodies, and a voice that carries both strength and tenderness, his music resonates with audiences from all walks of life.

His dedication to the craft and collaborative spirit have solidified his reputation as a versatile and respected artist within the industry.   

Beyond his musical endeavors, Hecht is a passionate advocate for mental health awareness. Openly discussing his own journey with bipolar disorder, he shines a light on these issues, breaking the stigma and offering support and inspiration to those who may be facing similar struggles. His music is a testament to the power of storytelling and the ability of songs to touch our souls; his insights and captivating melodies create a truly unforgettable musical experience, inviting you to embark on a contemplative journey through the landscapes of the heart and mind.
