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.

Every artist has a story, but few are as powerful as Raxz’s. The Dayton, Ohio native has faced challenges that could have stopped most people in their tracks. After serving an 11-year prison sentence and enduring the heartbreaking loss of both parents, he made a decision to rewrite his future through music.

A major turning point came when his mother left him a letter encouraging him to focus on his God-given talent. Her words became a source of strength and motivation, inspiring him to take his music career seriously and pursue the dreams he’d long put aside.

That dedication is paying off. Raxz has collaborated with respected artists such as Sally Sossa, Slatt Zy, and Trecinco, building a reputation for authenticity and determination. In 2022, he was recognized by XXL Magazine as an artist to watch, further validating his growing presence in the industry.

While success hasn’t come without setbacks, Raxz has remained committed to his vision. Whether battling self-doubt, maintaining consistency, or navigating the business side of music, he’s continued to push forward.

Now, he’s preparing for the release of City of Dragons, a project he describes as his most complete and hardest-hitting work to date. With production from Sauce Sinatra, Yung Steely, and members of 808 Mafia, expectations are high.

As his audience continues to grow, Raxz is proving that no matter where you’ve been, your story doesn’t have to define your future. Stream his new single “First Flight” below.
