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.

“Empatia,“ the stunning electronic debut of Aurien, in collaboration with Jab Vix, is the start of a new creative universe under Aurien’s newly launched imprint Château Bonheur Musique. The track feels like a doorway into a curated emotional space, built from atmosphere, storytelling, and immersive sound design.

“Empatia” is founded upon a contemporary electronic aesthetics that favors texture. The production is sleek and considered, offering up soft rhythmic pulses within roomy layers that breathe. Working with Jab Vix gives texture and dynamics to Aurien’s perspective and sets the sound for the song. It’s more about feeling the music than looking for peaks of high energy. It builds slowly and invites you to sit in the mood.

A highlight is the “Elegant Mix,” which takes the original and gives it a more subdued, slicker makeover. It allows the heart of the composition to come through more intimately, and this duality reinforces the idea behind Château Bonheur Musique as environment, experience, and feeling. “Empatia” is a debut statement and manifesto for the immersive, emotionally intelligent electronic music that works as effortlessly as it does in shared spaces. It’s a thoughtful direction for Aurien, where sound is not just heard, but lived in.
