We can tell that an album is on its way from Indie/Rock recording artist James Urie who has been soaring though 2012 notching #1 singles, awards, and girlfriends.. or wives. Although James Urie just released a single this week entitled "Retaliate", which is the official second single off of his upcoming third studio album that is soon to be titled. He doesn't stop there, as today he reveals a new track entitled "Trying My Best Not To Forget". Which features recording artist and song writer Sara Daniels. The song is also produced by Scott R.H, someone who Urie has sited as an influenced and would one day like to work with such a figure. The song itself has the core base of Alternative Rock. The sharp guitar chords and riffs are present throughout the track that are infused with massive drum loops that follow closely behind each guitar chord and cymbal slam that presents itself each time Sara Daniels's voice is heard. The song has a very uptempoed manner presented especially when Urie is singing out his vocals. The beat slows down for the the short lines Sara sings with a very vulnerable sounding voice. The song does pick up heavily for the chorus where Sara sings out All this sex|All these drugs|All these complications (3x)|; where all of the recurring instruments join as one as a concoction for the bridge. It doesn't stop there however, as shortly after Urie yells out the next few lines starting off with "Brother!", the instruments stay with him for the emotional and dramatic manner of that specific part in the song. The unique lyrics of Urie's is present once again in the song and may take a while to quite understand, but when you do, you can clearly see the message in the song that Urie is trying to get across in the song, from start to finish. Will you understand?

This promotional single is set to hit radio stations or digital download servers today just as his single Retaliate does. It looks as if Urie isn't wasting anytime feeding the appetite of his fans who are also all over him after allegations of a marriage between himself and Lashes girl member, Gemma, are swirling throughout the industry as news broke yesterday.

Until then, enjoy this song from Urie and Sara Daniels and tell us what you think!
