Happy Mother’s Day 💐💕 “Dey Say Run” official music video OUT NOW on YouTube (🔗 in bio) This song is about my childhood. My grandmother. My mother. My daughters. And the love that carries us through generations. Getting to capture three generations of my family in this video is something I’ll cherish forever. I hope one day my girls can look back and feel how much love I poured into this for them. 🤍 MERCI BEAUCOUP to Shot by @noecugny and @justenwilliams Edited by Noé Cugny Wardrobe by @solisc Muah by @phoenixroseartistry Special guests…my Mama and my daughters! 🥹💐💕 #happymothersday #robinbarnes #louisianalove #musicvideo #mothersday

As we approach Mother’s Day, this album means even more to me now. Photographed holding my grandmother, my mother, and my great great grandmother, I understand so much more deeply the importance of the women in my family keeping our stories alive through generations. The mothers. The eldest daughters. The women who carried memory, love, and tradition forward. On Louisiana Love, I wrote “Dey Say Run” reminiscing about my childhood. Now my daughters are singing on that same song. This Mother’s Day hits different. 🤍 THANK YOUUUUUU to my tribe : Photography x @queduong Makeup x @makeupbymeggancosmetics Hair x @phoenixroseartistry Styled x @solisc Genes x My mama Music x “Dey Say Run” with my daughters Percussion x @brucesunpiebarnes B3 organ x @neworleanssongbird Featuring Vocals x my baby birds Background Vocals x @iamchelle309 and her beautiful children Recorded x @esplanadestudios Audio Engineer x Ben Schabell Mix/Master x Misha Kachkachishvili #LouisianaLove #RobinBarnes #DebutAlbum #motherslove #mothersday

Happy debut album release day… and this one means something deeper. #LouisianaLove isn’t just music I made. This is music that was entrusted to me. Every voice, every instrument, every moment on this album carries the spirit of Louisiana. From zydeco to Cajun, from New Orleans rhythm to traditions passed down through generations, this is all of us. I’m thinking about every artist and musician who said yes and poured into this: @bigchiefmonkboudreaux @goldeneaglesxtheestorm @louismichotmusic @sunnipatterson @ivanneville Big Chief @brucesunpiebarnes & the North Side Skull & Bone Gang @thesoulrebels @cedric.watson_bijou.creole @jourdanthibodeaux @rustymetoyer_zydeco @lovebenoir @dwaynedopsie Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. @dopsiejr @shanetheriotguitar @terencehigginsdrummer @dougbelote @herlinriley @patcaseybass @johnmichaelbradford @jason_mingledorff @alexwasily @iamchelle309 @chrisadkinsgtr Produced by Robin Barnes, @sheasiraj and Misha Kachkachishvili Recorded at @esplanadestudios Engineered, mixed, and mastered by Misha Kachkachishvili Assistant engineering by Ben Schabell Misha, Shea… thank you for believing in me and helping bring this project to life. The care, the intention, the excellence you poured into this… I feel it in every note. I’m so grateful. Thank y’all so much for believing in this and believing in me. This project, what it means for my family, my lineage, and the culture we come from, I don’t take that lightly. That’s not small. That’s legacy. We don’t just make this music. We carry it. We protect it. We pass it on. Louisiana… this is ours. 💛 📷 x @shelbyuuu cover x @lovebenoir muah x @phoenixroseartistry styled x @solisc creative dir x @emileethedisciple album artwork x @chrismarroy Special thank YOU to @lauren.castorena Dir. of Lagniappe and @emilydiament PR! thank you for helping me bring the heart and story of this project to life!! #LouisianaLove #debutalbum #RobinBarnes
