Premiere: Kitt Wakeley Unveils 2nd Collaboration With Joe Satriani Recorded At Abbey Road Studios – “Forgive Me”
Songwriter-composer Kitt Wakeley announces the release of his latest composition, “Forgive Me,” featuring Joe Satriani. Off his upcoming album Symphony of Sinners and Saints, this is the second single featuring Joe Satriani and the third from the album, following-up on “Conflicted,” and “Sinners And Saints.” The album was recorded at Abbey Roads Studios with the participation of the London Philharmonic and London Voices. Apart from Joe Satriani, Symphony of Sinners and Saints will include featured artists Andy Timmons, Paige Harwell, Brent Berry and Ryan Miller.
“Forgive Me” is a profound composition that transports the listener into Wakeley’s orchestral rock universe, distilling an ethereal and solemn feel throughout, while beautifully translating into sounds the coexistence of beauty and tragedy. With complex feelings arising when life’s dichotomy is finally transcended, Kitt Wakeley builds on his past successes as one of the first artists to mesh rock music with massive orchestras and choirs, initiating a movement that keeps gaining momentum with each year passing.
He shares, “It was interesting to see the yin and yang of two genre’s colliding. More interesting was performing live. The prim and proper orchestral players interacting with the rock musicians was a sociological case study. Everyone got along great and had an appreciation for what the others did. That’s where I initially came up with the concept of “Sinners and Saints”. Eventually, it made sense to create the vernacular “Symphony of Sinners and Saints”.
After topping the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales with “Conflicted” featuring Joe Satriani, the first song released from the upcoming album, Kitt Wakeley is sure to break some more records with “Forgive Me.” Listeners will have to be patient to hear Satriani’s exceptional solo, imagined by Wakeley to act as the climatic finish of the composition.

Amanda Fagan unveils lost love and regret on latest release “Forever Yearn”
Amanda Fagan‘s latest release, “Forever Yearn,” is a tragic love story of pride, lost opportunity, and the harrowing knowledge that some mistakes can never be undone. A young couple at heart, wild and almost in love, but whose pride prevents the relationship from flowering. Their story doesn’t end with seeing what went wrong. It hurts more because you don’t see it for years.
“It’s a song about breaking cycles, but the characters are caught in the consequences of their choices. They learn from their mistakes, but knowledge cannot change the past. What remains is the longing for each other, which gives the song its emotional weight and its title, “Forever Yearn.”
Inspired by Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, the song feels like a love story that never gets old. Fagan’s premise blends regret and longing, showing how pride can linger long after an alternative decision could have changed everything. So “Forever Yearn” is less about lost love than about two people wondering what might have been.

iLLLACAT brings sharp bars and catchy production with latest release “Like Dat”
iLLLACAT drops “Like Dat,” a Hip-Hop cut with punchy production, percussion, and synths that give the record movement. Bookie comes on the track and sets the tone immediately with the hard lines, “Get out of my face with the gas, we’re on the chase for the cash, if you’re moving fake I’ll pass, I’ll pack it, and I’ll put it in a bag.” The delivery is right there in the money, the movement, and staying away from anything fake.
The production leaves plenty of space to land those words. Percussion powers the track with synths adding another layer to the beat, a backdrop for the straight-up vocal approach. “Like Dat” maintains tight energy and, instead of overcomplicating its message, lets the verses do the work in terms of personality.
The line, “Steady making money while smoking a pain killer” provides another memorable moment and an insight into the attitude that runs throughout the record. iLLLACAT brings us “Like Dat”, a pure hip-hop joint with Bookie on the track. A catchy production that stays sharp, an assertive voice, memorable lines, and enough rhythmic punch to keep the record moving.
