Forrest Hill Announces New Single”Can’t Wait For A Savior” From Forthcoming Album “Beyond The Veil”
indie artist Forrest Hill is set to release his powerful new single “Can’t Wait for a Savior” on April 11, 2025, the first offering from his highly anticipated sixth album “Beyond The Veil” slated for summer 2025.
Drawing inspiration from Barack Obama’s prescient 2018 warning, “You cannot sit back and wait for a savior,” Hill crafts a timely commentary on contemporary social division and environmental concerns. The track marries thoughtful social critique with an infectious 80s retro pop-rock sound that echoes influences like Jeff Lynne and Midnight Oil.
“For me this song is a reminder that just complaining about what is going on in our country does nothing other than to make me feel bad,” explains Hill. “I can’t change the big things, but I can get involved to try and make a difference on a small scale. Not only is it healthier but that is how real change occurs. All we need is for more of us to show up.”
The single marks Hill’s third collaboration with acclaimed producer and multi-instrumentalist J. Christopher Thomas, whose expertise has been instrumental in refining Hill’s distinctive sound across multiple projects.
“Can’t Wait for a Savior” will be available on all major streaming platforms and Bandcamp beginning April 11. The track continues Hill’s tradition of socially conscious songwriting that has characterized his work since his solo debut in 2017.
“Beyond The Veil,” Hill’s sixth solo album, promises to further explore themes of social awareness, personal responsibility, and hope in challenging times when it releases this summer.
Former ‘The Voice’ finalist and renowned TV sync music writer LLOREN releases her next single ‘Like I Need’.
On the track, LLOREN explains, “After coming out of a 12-year relationship, I realised that any love I accepted next would have to be something spectacular, the kind of romance you see on movie screens. It wasn’t that I wasn’t loved before, just not in the way I needed. When I started developing a new crush, as exciting as it was, I knew I couldn’t settle. I wanted and deserved the kind of love that sweeps you off your feet, full of passion, magic, and possibility. Nothing less. The chorus is a pretty much a road map to my heart!”.
Produced by Daniel Pashman, ‘Like I Need’ captures feelings of hope and anticipation, while keeping the retro, anthemic vibe that’s quickly becoming LLOREN’s signature. The track’s melancholic under-tones are swept away in a thick 80s production, as the chorus hits hard with its instantly engaging and relatable themes, bringing all of the feels of searching for new love.
Hit TV show The Traitors, Grey’s Anatomy, The L Word, 1923, Wish, The Company You Keep, Made In Chelsea, Love Island UK and Love Island USA are just some of the many sync credits LLOREN has amassed to date, which have steadily proved her rich, multi-faceted vocal and powerful contemporary inspired compositions to be a cut above the rest.
Tracks from LLOREN’s hugely anticipated forthcoming debut album ‘It’s Always Sunny in LA’ have already picked up airplay from BBC Radio 2’s Angela Griffin and Radio X’s John Kennedy and press acclaim from prestigious music tastemakers Louder Than War and The Line Of Best Fit, as momentum continues to build. LLOREN’s video for her track ‘Like This’ also won a Telly Award in the US, as well as also being nominated for a prestigious Leo Award in Canada.
LLOREN appeared at The Gibson Garage All Day Festival in London earlier this year and in her career to date has opened European tours for Fleurie, Johannes Oerding and Michael Patrick Kelly respectively, played the UK’s annual PRIDE celebrations in Manchester and London and toured with Mauvey, with whom she collaborated with on the track ‘Pillow’, performing it at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend as well as the Isle Of Wight Festival 2023.
