The Silver Metal Lover by Tanith Lee

Description: "For sixteen-year-old Jane, life is a mystery she despairs of every mastering. She and her friends are the idle, pampered children of the privileged class, living in luxury on an Earth remade by natural disaster. Until Jane's life is changed forever by a chance encounter with a robot minstrel with auburn hair and silver skin, whose songs ignite in her a desparate and inexplicable passion."

Despite it's somewhat cheesy title, the book is a wonderful read. Lee's treatment of her robot minstrel and his human lover is unexpectedly thoughtful and introspective. Her description is sumptuous, as always.
