This is what I call the song I was destined to write and record... I've been waiting a lifetime for the inspiration and the time to do this track. Finally.

From the upcoming debut album APPROVAL.

EVERYTHING I WANTED I THOUGHT I HAD BUT I WAS WRONG AND NOW WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?

An ode to love and working on a relationship, never giving up on love!

YEAH, IT’S GONNA BE DIFFICULT, BUT WE WILL GET THROUGH IT, AS LONG AS WE STICK TOGETHER

You (There Is No One But ME Thank You Baby Remix)

Being accused of cheating is a terrible thing when it's not true... and especially when you're so in love and faithful to your accuser. This song hurts.

THE BOYFRIEND

HOLLYWOOD

IT’S ALWAYS BEEN YOU (AND I JUST CAN’T LET GO AND NEVER WILL) (Original Version)

This is the song these two artist were destined to make together. Wow! This is exuberant, powerful and just will blow you away.  Inspired by songwriter Joseph Vitterito's own healing journey, the song brings in African drums, contemporary pop and a soaring, cathartic vocal delivery.

Give Me Time (Original)

Melodic hook-fill pop song about a toxic relationship that will have you singing in the shower!

LYRICS:

I wasn’t a fool I just fell in love He was slick Poured it on thick Seemed so genuine So true Made all the right moves And I moved right with him When he got mad, I got sad Thought I did something wrong Didn’t wanna lose him So I apologized every time Made his pain my strain Made his fuck-ups My time to clean up

I loved him loved him loved him Like I loved no other Defended him Even when I didn’t agree What was wrong with me
me - me - me

And I kept spinning And spinning inside his storm Holding a heart That was never in his hands I kept giving And giving until I was gone Losing myself Just to feel close to him 
giving—giving—gone—gone—gone

I loved someone who didn’t love me back (I’ll never do that again) I loved someone who didn’t love me back (I’ll never do that again) Never—never—never Do that again

He made silence loud Made my guilt his shelter I kept folding Kept bending Chasing a ghost of tenderness Every tear he cried I wiped away But he never once Wiped away mine

And now I see The mirror was cracked The story was rigged The game was stacked It wasn’t love It was hunger dressed as devotion It was my body Drowning in his ocean

No more No more No more (I’ll never do that) Love like that—love like that—love like that

I kept spinning But now I’m still I kept giving But now I feel I lost myself But I’ve come back I’ll never—never—never Lose like that

I loved someone who didn’t love me back I’ll never do that again Never—never—never—never—never

I LOVED SOMEONE WHO DIDN’T LOVE ME BACK, AND I’LL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN

This stirring demo from RATIONAL offers a glimpse into a forthcoming duet with TIN1BM, set to appear on TIN1BM’s upcoming collaborative album. Though the act considers this a “demo”, the song already tells a complete, emotionally rich arc—one of a father confronting a deep sense of failure, only to find renewal after breaking free from past trauma. Along this journey, he’s inspired by a new muse—not just in art, but in heart—someone whose presence ignites a MAXIMUM shift in his path and helps him reconnect with his sons in a more powerful way.

The songwriter shares: “I met someone in person recently who just seemed to understand everything I was experiencing, and it was as if in that moment, all the pain disappeared and I saw the new path in front of me. It is very difficult to put into words, but if you don’t believe in miracles, then you can scoff at this story. And along the way, I’ve had another important angel check in with me every day... and I truly do understand everything now. What I thought was the truth was not… and as I’ve written in another song: ‘GOD DESTROYED THAT PLAN ‘CAUSE HE KNEW IT’D DESTROY YOU’!”


MOMENTS/BLINDSIDED (DEMO)

Toxicity breeds a freaking fantastic song.
