Emerging from the creative pulse of New York City, THE MARK ROBERTS PROJECT delivers a striking statement with their original single, “Which Way the Wind Is Blowing.” Released on November 1, 2025, the track stands tall as a defining moment from the debut album Different Worlds, which first arrived on September 17, 2025. After years of penning songs for major artists, Multi-Platinum songwriter Mark Roberts now steps into his own spotlight, proving that the storyteller behind the hits is equally compelling as the voice delivering them.
Written by Mark Roberts (lyrics) and Olindo D’Amore (music), “Which Way the Wind Is Blowing” channels the spirit of rock’s golden era while maintaining a contemporary edge. At its core, the song delivers a powerful message through the line, “It doesn’t matter where you came from, it only matters where you’re going, it doesn’t matter where you came from, or which way the wind is blowing.” The lyric captures the track’s spirit of resilience and forward momentum. It speaks to rising above circumstances, ignoring doubt, and choosing your own direction despite uncertainty. Simple yet meaningful, the words ground the song in authenticity and give it an emotional weight that lingers long after the final note.
Influences from icons like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan are woven into its DNA. There’s a familiar warmth in the melodic structure and lyrical phrasing, yet the production feels crisp and immediate. The result is a track that honors tradition without sounding nostalgic or dated, a rare balance in today’s musical landscape. What truly elevates the single is its recording story. Captured in one seamless take alongside D’Amore and a skilled group of studio musicians, the session reportedly “flowed perfectly.” That organic, unfiltered energy is palpable from the first chord to the final note. It’s the kind of performance that can’t be manufactured but only felt. The drummer’s remark that Roberts “just might have a hit” after all these years adds a layer of poetic justice to the release.
“Which Way the Wind Is Blowing” symbolizes more than a standout album cut; it marks a new chapter. For an artist long celebrated behind the scenes, this single resonates as both arrival and rebirth, suggesting that perhaps Mark Roberts’ finest songs are still ahead.
