How acclaimed dance artist porterrobinson battled his anxiety -- and leaned into pop music -- for his upcoming album 'Nurture.'

following on March 10, just as much of the world went into lockdown. Originally intended for a September 2020 release date, was pushed back due to the pandemic, giving Robinson additional time to more or less remake the project. He wrote new songs, replaced existing music and expanded the album from 11 to 14 tracks.

Robinson performed his only set of 2020 during his livestream festival, Secret Sky, a 14-hour event he produced from the guest bedroom of his parents’ house. Featuring artists like Madeon and G Jones, the show drew 4 million viewers, according to Robinson’s team. Two hundred and fifty thousand people watched Robinson’s set, which closed with the buoyant single “Look at the Sky,” a song currently getting airplay on adult contemporary radio.

But as Aaron Greene, Robinson’s co-manager at Slush, says: “There isn’t a goal of being a pop star or transcending electronic music. Porter is always trying to discover what he’s most passionate about and follow that passion.”Since finishing the album, Robinson’s focus has dedicated “basically my entire life” to designing thelive show, which will hit the road when public health permits.

“Throughout the album, you can really sense some of the trepidation, worry, anxiety and fear I’m feeling,” he says. “On ‘Musician,’ I wasn’t feeling it at all. I just felt pure unbridled joy and excitement. That was the goal: I was trying to get to this place where I could write music in a way where I could be vulnerable and just do this thing I love with the confidence I used to have. That song is that materialized for me.
