Draft 10/10/25 - NOT FOR PUBLIC USE BEFORE 7/11/25
Robin Auld is pretty much the king of South African AAC Rock, with numerous chart hits under his belt. This month he will releases a new single, the radio version of a track from his latest album, Love Kills - The Collection. We are perhaps naively calling it a radio mix because it is different to the original, in a time when radio has all but been replaced by streaming playlists.

The song is Waiting for you, written a few years back and produced by Murray Anderson, now with edits and re-mastering by Robin himself. It's a Rocker, heavy on electric guitars, a departure from the last acoustic guitar led album title song Love Kills.
Robin comments - The inspiration for "Waiting for you" comes from my affection for the songs of Lionel Bart, who wrote the music for Oliver. There's a song that Oliver sings which has the line "where is she, who I close my eyes to see, will I ever know, the sweet hello, that's meant for only me". So that's the sentiment behind the line in the song "who I see when I close my eyes".The new release will have a "B-Side" (more nostalgia) with a different version of his song Love Kills that was the original version recorded in Cape Town on his return from London. This version is not on the Collection release.
Waiting for you, is a popular lyric theme in rock music, but this track has Robin's deft songwriter hand in it's making. Add Auld's talent on guitar, with driving rock and tasteful solo guitar licks, and what we have is up there with the best in the genre anywhere.
The street date is 7/11/25
