## Needle on the Rim — Debut EP (March 2026)

*Needle on the Rim* is Robert Marleigh's debut EP and the inaugural volume of the Shared Frequency Initiative. It releases on March 27, 2026 on all major platforms. The six-track record was produced remotely with contributors from Cambodia, Thailand, New Orleans, and Italy, assembled while regional borders remained physically closed during the 2025–2026 Thailand-Cambodia border détente.

The sound fuses timeless Great American Songbook standards with bold cinematic reinterpretations and a neon-lit noir aesthetic evoking mid-century Saigon. The genre is described as Vocal Jazz, Cinematic Noir, and Future Noir.
