On an extremely cold night, when I am having to venture out to collect my son from a party before bedtime (my bedtime, anyway!), it seems I can still find time for a sneaky listen to the new Robbie Harte single, released on November 16, 2026.
We have covered Robbie Harte over the years here at the magazine, and I always look forward to her new releases. They come with an expectation of a memorable chorus hook, a story and, of course, a country beat.
About Robbie Harte
Robbie Harte is an award-winning Canadian country artist recognised for her uplifting messages, authentic storytelling and emotionally resonant performances. Since emerging onto the scene, she has built a reputation for connecting with audiences through her honest and inspiring music.
“Off My Mind” Press Release
Written by Robbie Harte and Matt Anthony, “Off My Mind” addresses the universal theme and very real conflict of staying silent and diluting oneself to make others happy.
“So often, we feel the need to shrink who we are to fit in or avoid making waves. This song is my declaration that I won’t keep quiet about who I am or make myself more palatable for others’ comfort,” says Harte.
“Off My Mind” serves as a reminder that you don’t need to dilute yourself so others can stomach you. Harte, who is a disability advocate, uses her platform to emphasize being true to oneself, and this song embodies that sentiment. She doesn’t plan on losing any sleep over it.
My Review
“Tried to walk the line like I was raised
Mmm but you pushed me so far that I’m through faking it…”
This is a summer song that I am hearing on a winter’s night! It’s a song of freedom, of warm evenings, music festivals and leaving your troubles behind.
“Off My Mind” is a slickly commercial country track, and as the one who tends to cover country music here at the magazine, I want to hear this on country radio. Actually, breakfast radio would work just as well, as I’d happily have this playing while sorting out breakfast or driving along.
It’s a put-on-your-cowboy-boots, have-a-bop-and-enjoy-the-ride kind of song. The ingredients are all there: a singalong chorus, a light summer breeze and a smile.
Sometimes music doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs to make you feel good, and Robbie Harte has delivered exactly that with “Off My Mind”.
