In case you didn't know, Rob provided the string arrangements for the acclaimed KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack — including "Golden," which went on to sweep the major awards circuit: 

• Best Original Song at the Academy Awards
• Best Song Written for Visual Media at the Grammys 
• Best Original Song at the Golden Globes and 
• Best Song at the Critics' Choice Movie Awards 

It's a quiet little footnote to a career built on this kind of work — the arrangements are always there, even when the spotlight's elsewhere.

Rob Mathes' new single, A Tanka (Alone), is out now on all streaming platforms. Recorded at The Power Station in NYC, the track features Rob on piano and vocals alongside a full string orchestra and was mastered by Scott Hull at Masterdisk. Stream it on Apple Music, Spotify, or wherever you listen to music, and while you're at it, check out the recent releases This One Word and Blessing (after W.C.W.).
