CJ Gill Finds Strength in Starting Over With Powerful New Single “Time To Go”
Sometimes the hardest goodbye is the one that helps you find yourself again. CJ Gill explores that moment of change and courage on his powerful new single “Time To Go”, a rock-infused anthem about resilience, growth, and learning to move forward.
Written across two cities and shaped by years of personal reflection, the track captures the journey that brought CJ from Chicago’s South Side to Nashville, where he is preparing to release his debut album Eye of the Storm.
Blending poetic storytelling with classic rock influences, “Time To Go” begins with a sense of weight and introspection before opening into something brighter. It’s a song about leaving behind what no longer serves you, not with bitterness, but with the understanding that every difficult chapter can become part of your story.
Inspired by legendary songwriters like Townes Van Zandt and Kris Kristofferson, CJ creates music that embraces life’s complicated moments. His songs don’t search for perfect answers. Instead, they find beauty in the struggle and strength in the process of becoming.
The track came together gradually, with lyrics written during a period of personal change in Chicago and its defining guitar melody arriving later during a sleepless night in Nashville. Featuring electric and acoustic guitars, fiddle, organ, and driving drums, “Time To Go” builds from quiet reflection into a powerful emotional release.
At its heart, the song is a reminder that hardship doesn’t have to define us. Sometimes it’s the thing that helps us grow.

Pauline Frechette Releases “The Wonder of Stars” Featuring Legendary Bassist Stanley Clarke
Billboard-charting composer, pianist, and vocalist Pauline Frechette releases her new single, “The Wonder of Stars,” featuring legendary bassist Stanley Clarke. Taken from her latest album, At the Edge of Everything, the song is a personal reflection on the beauty of the universe, the search for direction, and the quiet strength that comes from looking beyond everyday worries.
Living in Ojai, California, surrounded by mountains and natural beauty, Pauline finds inspiration in one of her favorite nighttime activities: stargazing with her husband. For her, looking up at the stars is more than simply admiring the night sky. It is a way to find peace, regain perspective, and reconnect with her sense of purpose.
“When I am tired or anxious about something, star gazing relaxes me. I feel strong and sure of the path I must follow,” Pauline explains. Inspired by the explorers who once relied on the stars for courage and direction, she sees the night sky as a reminder that there is always a way forward, even when life presents obstacles.
That feeling became the foundation for “The Wonder of Stars.” Pauline began composing the music while singing, allowing the lyrics to emerge naturally from the emotions and story already expressed through the melody. She considers the song one of her finest compositions.
Featuring the unmistakable musicianship of Stanley Clarke, “The Wonder of Stars” brings together Pauline’s distinctive approach to composition and performance with the artistry of one of music’s most celebrated bassists.
Pauline Frechette has built an impressive career as a composer, pianist, and vocalist. Her compositions have been performed by renowned orchestras, including the Baltimore Symphony, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, New West Symphony, Cincinnati Symphony, and National Symphony at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Her work has also been presented at Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Beyond the concert stage, Pauline has contributed her voice to major film scores and performed alongside some of the biggest names in music, including Paul McCartney, Beck, Cher, Willie Nelson, Neil Diamond, Muse, and Leonard Cohen.
Her current album, At the Edge of Everything, features Stanley Clarke and showcases her ability to move naturally between jazz, neo-classical instrumentals, and expressive vocal compositions. Her music has accumulated more than 30 million streams worldwide.
Through her music and performances, Pauline brings together technical excellence, emotional honesty, and a deep sense of vulnerability. With “The Wonder of Stars,” she offers listeners a reminder to pause, look beyond their immediate surroundings, and find inspiration in the world above them.
