Celebrated guitarist and singer Orianthi drops new single
Celebrated guitarist and singer Orianthi released her new single Some Kind of Feeling via Woodward Avenue Records on Friday November 15th and it’s available now on all streaming platforms HERE.
Some Kind of Feeling is the title track single taken from the album of the same name, the highly anticipated album is set for release in 2025. Check out the official music video below:
With each new fiery, emotionally impactful single on Woodward Avenue Records, the great Orianthi reveals something fresh in her ever-evolving artistry – and her latest infectious, blues-inflected gem Some Kind of Feeling, produced by the legendary Kevin Shirley (Journey, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin), is no exception.
But before we get to the magical illumination she reveals in the song, it’s always fun, for those new to the singer, songwriter, and master electric guitarist/effortless shredder’s multi-faceted musical aesthetic, to recount her many accolades and all-star associations to date. To name drop just a few, her resume includes an almost historic run of shows with Michael Jackson (hired for the London performances before his sudden death) and years-long collaborations with Alice Cooper, Dave Stewart, and Richie Sambora.
Following the release of her previous singles on the label, First Time Blues and Ghost, the warm soulful tone of and occasional breathiness in her voice on the first funky verse of Some Kind of Feeling brings to mind one of rock and roll’s greatest female voices ever – Chrissie Hynde. High compliments of comparison aside, after opening with a few blistering licks over Ed Roth’s bluesy keys in the hooky intro, Orianthi shares on the track what it really feels like to meet that special person, cleverly referencing her last single with an illuminating line in the first verse: “When he walked into my world, now you’re by my side. All the ghosts are gone that used to keep me up at night.”

Orianthi’s band deserves major kudos for keeping Some Kind of Feeling hopping, exciting and grooving along. While Orianthi herself sings and and plays guitar, she is joined by Justin Andres (bass & background vocals), Nick Maybury (guitar), Ed Roth (k)eyboards), Jimmy Paxson (drums) and Jade MacRae (background vocals).
The title of Orianthi’s latest track Some Kind of Feeling is something of a self-fulfilling prophecy. She’s singing in a raw, vulnerable, and romantic way about how love changed her, but along the way gives us a great feeling that we are also experiencing something special and transcendent.
Written by Orianthi Panagaris, it’s produced & mixed by Kevin Shirley and mastered by Don Bartley.
Available on all major streaming platforms now HERE.
