Set to hit major music retailers on October 20th, 2017 the album is full of Forbes’ own unique and captivating interpretations and arrangements on some pretty amazing and well-known hits. Forbes teamed up with Grammy award-winning producer Nicholai Baxter (La La Land Original Soundtrack and Lady Gaga A Star Is Born) to co-produce Solitary Man.

With everything from Rod Stewart’s “Some Guys Have All the Luck,” to the Gorillaz “On Melancholy Hill” there is no tune that Forbes is afraid to tackle and make his own. Mixing in the best of the Great American Songbook and some of his favorite songs in music, Solitary Man has a little jazzy something for everyone.
