-
Richie Kotzen has unveiled the official video for his latest single, “Insomnia,” offering fans another glimpse into his forthcoming studio album, NOMAD, set for release on September 27, 2024, through BMG. The track, which serves as the third single from the album, presents a moodier and more melancholic side of Kotzen's artistry, showcasing his range as both a songwriter and musician.
While “Insomnia” retains the hard rock edge Kotzen is known for, it delves deeper into his musical roots, blending in a funkier bridge and chorus that harken back to his Philadelphia upbringing. The verses simmer with restless energy, capturing the anxiety and tension of sleepless nights, before giving way to a more uplifting, earthy chorus that provides a sense of release and resolution.
The creative process behind “Insomnia” is just as unique as the song itself. Kotzen revealed that the main melody came to him in the middle of the night while he was sleeping. Not wanting to lose the inspiration, he immediately woke up, went into his studio, and worked through the night to capture the song’s essence, resulting in a track that truly embodies its title.
The music video for “Insomnia” complements the song’s atmospheric feel, blending haunting visuals with Kotzen’s dynamic performance. Fans can look forward to hearing more from NOMAD as the release date approaches, with “Insomnia” offering a compelling preview of what’s to come.
Richie Kotzen continues to push the boundaries of his sound, and NOMAD promises to be yet another bold chapter in his storied career.
