“Rita”

Caitlin Robinson hopes her new single “Rita” will help raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease. Released in honour of her late grandmother, also named Rita, the song came out on February 20—her grandmother’s birthday.

The song reflects Robinson’s mother’s experience caring for her own mother while she was living with Alzheimer’s disease. Lyrics explore the difficulty of losing someone due to the illness, how this disease takes everything, and how difficult it was to watch her mother navigate that journey.

Robinson plans to donate a portion of the song’s royalties to Alzheimer’s research.

The song is dedicated to her “Nana,” Rita.

Robinson is an emerging artist and a second-year vocal major at Holland College’s School of Performing Arts. Based in PEI, she released her debut single in September 2025. Her style blends folk, indie, and singer-songwriter genres. Inspired by Adrianne Lenker and Phoebe Bridgers, she writes heartfelt, story-driven songs rooted in personal experience.
