With “This Is Communion”, Judith Ann Robertson places something rare on the table: a spiritual ballad that travels through the centuries without aging a day. A meal two thousand years old, and yet it still resonates. Melancholic piano, generous orchestral arrangements, enveloping voice. “This is communion, through your sacrifice. Peace and sweet union” The formula is simple, but the effect is striking. Blending folk, pop and 21st-century sounds, this new English-language title, a reimagined version of her French original released in 2025, explores the Last Supper not as a frozen ritual, but as a living experience: sacrifice, healing, belonging, restoration. The video, contemplative and timeless, offers a vision of this rite from an angle that makes you want to hit “play” more than once. Not to be missed on Slash Music.

Portrait of an Alchemist from Both Shores
She composes in the language of Molière and translates into that of Shakespeare, navigating between two cultures with disarming ease. Judith Ann Robertson, a bilingual and bicultural artist, has built a world of sound entirely her own: British pop-rock, folk-rock and French chanson intertwine with a fluidity that recalls, eyes closed, the finest hours of Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell. Three albums and several singles to her name, all available on streaming platforms, and a discography in perpetual motion. Her album “Rebâtir Ta Maison”, reimagined as “Father’s House” with vocals remixed by guitarist Paul May, was praised by media outlet Cross Rhythms. Her collaborators are as talented as they are diverse: Thierry Fanfant, Maria Baran, Julia Sarr on the French side, Paul May on the British side. Her lyrics, meanwhile, shy away from no subject whatsoever, ranging from the war in Ukraine to the most intimate expressions of worship. “This Is Communion” fits perfectly into this singular trajectory, a new milestone in a journey that never stops reinventing itself. Keep your ears open: Judith Ann Robertson is only halfway through her story.
