Discography
Released September 2019
Bobby’s first new single with Crystal Smith and Chris Richardson marks the beginning of the FlOwUpTuOuS album!
After losing some dear friends to suicide, Bobby began to write this song as a comfort to anyone struggling with these sorts of feelings. Crystal and Bobby hunted for the right voices to fill the comforting texture of “Cover You” for over a year. It truly turned into a soul-funk ensemble piece and a natural outgrowth from the previous “Green Tea R&B” project.
Featuring Sam Seccombe, Gina Rendina, Micky Dumoulin, Aisha Conner, Shane T Golden, Amanda Hunt, Dan Collins, Jo Rochell, and Brandon Michael Fleming.

Released June 2019
Bobby’s most recent full length album “Green Tea R&B” with talented British keyboardist and producer Chris Richardson fuses R&B, pop, and jazz qualities to create a hypnotically sultry experience.
In a sample of their most recent Press Release, Bobby describes how the impulse for Green Tea R&B came to him in a dream:
“As I drifted off one night, my mind concocted a fantasy about hanging with the new band and suddenly being struck by this yummy, groovy music in the background,” Noble said. “It was unlike anything I had ever heard…I turned to one of the cats and said, ‘What is this?’ He said, ‘It’s this new genre called ‘Green Tea R&B.’ When I woke up, I immediately ran over to Chris’ cabin and said, ‘We’re doing an album.’ That was how it started and in the years since, we’ve worked on it back and forth over distance – me on ships and him in London.”
Richardson said that the vibe of “Green Tea R&B” is also inspired by their mutual admiration for Robert Glasper – specifically Glasper’s attitude of putting colorful chords and textures in modern songs. They both described it as a pop R&B album, but with richer harmonies and a hint of jazz influence.

Full Album Review and Interview with Indie Band Guru Music Blog
“The 8-track record is a sexy and hypnotic journey that combines R&B with heavy doses of Pop and Jazz. From the title track opener “Green Tea R&B”, the sultry tone will put any listener in the right state of mind with a lush soundscape of romantic sounds. On “Soundtrack of My Dreams” Noble truly highlights his sweet voice along with a backdrop of an assortment of instruments including horns to encapsulate the listener.”
Green Tea R&B Single Review by A&R Factory Music Blog
“While the end rhymes in the lyricism felt fairly obvious in parts, there are no flaws to be found in the smoothly soothing soundscape. Green Tea R&B unfolds with plenty of Jazz-infused vintage appeal while Bobby Noble & Chris Richardson add plenty of contemporary resonance with their ethereally pitched vocal harmonies.”
Bobby’s interview on Vigilantes Radio Podcast
“Bobby Noble stops by Vigilantes Radio’s “Inside The Music” Series to chat with Dini about how he keeps innovation in his music, the freedom of speech on the internet & dispelling the misconception of singers being one-dimensional with nothing to sing about.”

Released December 2015
Bobby’s debut album features soulful and honest singing, immaculate instrumental arrangements, and top level production. naked invites listeners on a journey through real stories.
Each song relates a specific story from Bobby’s past such as betrayal, desire, danger, and eventually the wonder of a young girl dancing through an empty hallway.
“Enjoy the Flood” (track 1) kicks off with the realization that every day will always be just a bit too much to handle, and recognizes the inherent beauty of life’s overwhelming journey through killer saxophone hooks and guitar solos. Now move into the slow but desperate physical longing of “Keeping Me Waiting” (track 2) immediately followed by Bobby’s voice remorsefully recalling her words to mistaken advances in “Pump the Brakes” (track 3). As you explore these stories, you come upon Bobby’s most striking tale yet, “The Rush” to grow up employs aggressive beat-boxing and colorful hooks (track 7). Finally Day Dreams (track 9) peers into the wonder of a little girl dancing alone to her magical visions from within. You’re invited to walk with Bobby as he recounts real moments from his life that have led to the making of this album.

Biography
Bobby Noble is an Austin/Dallas based singer/songwriter performer and recording artist. Combining his affinity for Pop, R&B, and Jazz with acoustic guitar and soaring falsetto lines, Bobby connects with crowds of all sizes. Add to that his use of a loop pedal, playful improvisation, beat-boxing, and various percussive instruments, Bobby is an artistic force to be reckoned with.
After studying jazz performance at Western Michigan University, he spent three years performing as a guitar/singer soloist aboard cruise ships.
He brought his show home to Dallas, Texas where he performed regularly at venues such as Blue Martini, Bakers Street Pub, Sambuca, and the Renaissance Dallas Hotel.
During this time he released his debut album, “Naked.” Recorded and produced in Mexico, City, this project began Bobby’s path as a recording artist and producer. Around this time, Bobby caught the attention of inspirational comedian Kyle Cease and his team, and was invited to open for their two day event “Evolving Out Loud” at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California.
Soon after, he met his future wife and forever vocal partner Crystal Smith at a one off gig at the Houston Museum of Sciences. Realizing that their special chemistry transferred into music as well, they formed the FlOwUpTuOuS acoustic duo, and performed together for two years aboard various cruise ships. They also spent seven months aboard the Carnival Elation as the Cluster Funk Jam Band Singers.
In June, 2019, Bobby released Green Tea R&B with cherished collaborator Chris Richardson. This second album lead to an invitation to perform on Good Day Austin (FOX7), Bobby’s first TV appearance.
Having recently moved to Austin Texas, Bobby is back to performing throughout the State at venues such as The Downtown Hall of Fame, The Sunset Bar and Grill, and Eureka in both soloist and duo formations.
