Richie Kotzen has premiered a new song titled “Catch A Star.” You can check that out below:

Kotzen commented:

“After coming off the road with Smith/Kotzen, I fully intended to take a long break from live performance and recharge creatively. While going through old archives, I rediscovered ‘Catch A Star’ in a semi-completed form and for whatever reason, the direction suddenly became obvious to me in a way it hadn’t before. Once that happens as a writer you must trust your instincts and follow the momentum. That’s exactly what happened with this song.

What I love about ‘Catch A Star’ is how direct it is. The chorus arrives immediately, the arrangement stays intentionally simple, and the focus is really on the melody, lyric, and atmosphere. This is also one of those recordings where I handled every instrument and vocal myself, layering each part individually in the studio. In the past, I probably would have held onto a song like this until I had enough material to complete a full album, but these days I feel more inspired by releasing music in real time rather than waiting indefinitely for a larger project to materialize.

If it eventually leads to a full-length album, great and if it doesn’t, for now, that’s fine too.”
