Smith / Kotzen

Smith/Kotzen announce new single ‘Solar Fire’

‘Solar Fire’, released on June 25th is the fourth single from Adrian Smith & Richie Kotzen’s critically acclaimed debut project, Smith/Kotzen which was released globally through BMG on March 26th and immediately became a Top 20 album chart success in the UK.

The song features Adrian’s fellow Iron Maiden bandmate, Nicko McBrain on drums.

The accompanying video was shot in Los Angeles in April where Richie and Adrian sang and performed together in the same room for the first time since recording the album in Turks & Caicos back in January 2020. The resulting visual chemistry showcases two world class guitarists who perfectly complement each other, coupled with a stellar drum & bass line-up. The result: a punchy, powerful visual and audio experience which makes you long to see this group play live. Watch the video here.


With the three pre-album release singles ‘Taking My Chances’, ‘Scars’ and ‘Running’ having been enthusiastically welcomed by fans and media alike, ‘Solar Fire’ is further proof of the sheer power and musical diversity of this unique pairing.
