Forrest Hill is at it again with the anthemic call for change in his new single, "Can't Wait For A Savior." While we wait to hear the rest of his sixth studio album, "Beyond The Veil" is the first release from it, which is due for release in the summer of 2025. Complemented by a sound as forceful as the message, Hill drives this song home as a bold statement on the world at present, imploring you to act and not wait for help from outside.
In an era of social and environmental calamity, Hill draws the first of his book's 3 R's from a call to action by Barack Obama in 2018: "You cannot sit back and wait for a savior." Hill considers that sentiment a theme for "Can't Wait For A Savior," a song that implores us to stop waiting for the miracle and get to work on creating it. He says, "This song is a reminder for me that just complaining about what is happening in my country does nothing but make me feel sad. There are big things I can't change, but I can step in and make a slight difference. It is not only healthier, but it is also how genuine change comes about. We just have to come out in greater numbers.
The song is a jolting rock anthem, which draws Hill's sound into a more urgent, electrified place. Working for the third time with the esteemed producer and musician J. Christopher Thomas, he has provided a lush, evocative sound that lifts Hill's message to new heights. With pounding drums, sweeping guitar riffs, and Hill's distinctive, gravelly vocals, "Can't-Wait For A Savior" is personal without being too personal, universal without being too preachy, inviting you in to step up, take responsibility, and actively work toward a better reality.
This single is a reminder that change doesn't come when we sit around and wait for others to act when we all take responsibility. Hill's grittily honest lyrics and earnest delivery leave no doubt that there's no reason to wait. Stay tuned for more from "Beyond The Veil" as Forrest Hill continues to gain traction with his intellectual and genre-melding tunes. "Can't Wait For A Savior" is out now on streaming platforms, and it's a release you won't want to miss.
