LOS ANGELES (NB360) — Grammy-nominated composer, producer, and master of 21 instruments Aaron Bing bursts back onto the contemporary-music landscape with “Forgive Me,” his long-awaited new single now streaming worldwide. More than just a release, the piece signals a pivotal return for an artist who has spent the past several years scoring films while quietly sharpening his creative edge. Crafted as a lush sax-and-vocal conversation, the track opens with velvety chords and a breathy soprano melody that grows into a soaring gospel-jazz anthem. Lyrically, “Forgive Me” is a candid prayer, an acknowledgment of missteps, a plea for grace, and a declaration of renewed purpose mirrored by Bing’s expressive sax lines, which swell, sigh, and ultimately ascend in triumph.
Behind the music lies a meticulous studio process: Bing layers every horn, percussion, and keyboard part by hand, building a living soundscape that evolves from intimate whispers to cinematic grandeur. Subtle keyboard pads nod to his classical roots, while string and synth bass ground the arrangement in r&b tradition. Yet the single never feels retro; contemporary vocal production, shimmering reverbs, and tasteful vocal harmonies place it firmly in the modern streaming era. The result is a genre-bridging statement, equal parts smooth-jazz sophistication, worshipful reflection, and radio-ready pop sensibility that reaffirms Bing’s reputation as one of the most compelling musical storytellers of his generation.
“This song marks a moment when I had to pause, surrender, and realign with my purpose,” Bing explains. “I wanted the saxophone to carry as much weight as the lyric. because sometimes melody speaks the truths words can’t.”
A Virtuoso in Full
Renowned for mastering 21 instruments, Bing remains best known for the velvet, yet piercing soprano sax that anchors his eight-album catalogue. In the studio he personally records nearly every brass, woodwind, string, keyboard, and percussion part—building each track the way a painter layers color. Live, his horn becomes conversational: trading calls with singers, soaring into gospel-tinged climaxes, then dropping to a whisper that can hush an arena.
Across albums such as Always, Rebirth, and the bilingual Latin-jazz crossover Otra Parte De Mí, Bing has served as writer, producer, arranger, and engineer, earning a Grammy nod and Billboard Smooth Jazz chart placements while preserving complete artistic control.
Beyond the Studio
While “Forgive Me” is Bing’s first original release in four years, the intervening seasons were far from idle. He expanded into film and television scoring, lending emotional weight to projects including HBO Max’s The Staircase, Netflix’s Flint Tale, and the international thriller Red Election—all while touring with luminaries such as Tyrese, Brian McKnight, and Frankie Beverly.
The Single & Video
“Forgive Me” unfolds as a true sonic sanctuary, opening with a warm Rhodes chords before swelling into a tapestry of layered strings, bass-line, and heartbeat kick drum. Over this atmospheric pad foundation, Breana Marin’s luminous vocals rise and fall like a confession set to melody, each phrase answered by Bing’s soprano sax, which alternately whispers contrition, cries for mercy, and finally soars in release. The arrangement breathes, pulling back to near silence for stripped-down moments of vulnerability, then surging into full-arrangement climaxes that feel both triumphant and prayerful.
The accompanying video translates that emotional arc into imagery: filmed in a candlelit studio awash with soft ambers and deep indigos, it intercuts close-ups of Bing’s focused embouchure and Marin’s soulful delivery with slow-motion watercolor animations that unfurl across the screen like blooming petals. As the song moves from introspection to redemption, the visuals shift from muted monochrome to radiant bursts of color mirroring the journey from remorse to grace and underscoring the track’s central theme: forgiveness as a transformative, soul-brightening force.
The “Aaron Bing Celebrity Experience” Tour
This November, Aaron Bing ushers in a new blueprint for live performance with his six-city Celebrity Experience Tour—an immersive evening that blurs the lines between red-carpet gala, masterclass, and intimate concert. Upon arrival, guests step onto an actual Hollywood-style carpet flanked by press backdrops and house photographers, capturing couture moments alongside surprise celebrity friends who rotate city to city. A pre-show champagne reception in an art-gallery–styled lounge features curated hors d’oeuvres and displays of Bing’s Grammy memorabilia and film-score storyboards, setting the tone for an evening that celebrates both music and narrative craft.
Once seated in premium-tier rows, reserved exclusively for Experience ticket-holders, attendees are treated to a two-act program. Act I, Behind the Score, finds Bing at the piano and sax, deconstructing signature melodies, looping ideas in real time, and sharing back-of-the-set anecdotes from sessions with artists like Brian McKnight and Tevin Campbell. Act II, Aaron Bing Live, evolves into a full-band concert where the new single is performed against a cinematic LED backdrop synced to the official video’s watercolor animations. Between songs, a moderated Q&A invites fans to ask anything from production techniques to the faith journeys woven into his music, turning the hall into an open forum rather than a one-way stage.
Throughout the night, surprise cameos from industry greats to film stars Bing has scored for, ignite spontaneous on-stage collaborations. Post-show, all Celebrity Experience guests return to the lounge for a dessert mingle, autograph signing, and personal photo session with Bing and his celebrity guests, ensuring every attendee leaves with a keepsake and a story.

Aaron Bing
Jacksonville native Aaron Bing is much more than a Grammy-nominated saxophonist, he is a self-contained creative ecosystem. As founder of Century Records and Vibe Media Live, LLC, Bing directs every facet of his craft: songwriting and arranging, live and remote session work on 21 instruments, full-scale record production, global tour design, multimedia branding, and, increasingly, film and television scoring. His signature sound, a velvet soprano sax that can whisper gospel sentiment one bar and soar into pop-anthem heroics the next, travels effortlessly across genres, weaving smooth-jazz elegance with the rhythmic snap of R&B, the harmonic uplift of gospel, and the melodic immediacy of contemporary pop.
Educated in classical theory yet shaped by church worship teams and Latin family gatherings, Bing channels a broad cultural palette. That fluency crystallized on his bilingual crossover album Otra Parte De Mí, where flamenco-tinged guitars, palmas handclaps, and Spanish-language vocals danced around his sax in a celebration of heritage and unity. The project deepened his connection to Latin audiences while reaffirming his core mission: to craft music that uplifts, heals, and transcends borders, cultural, spiritual, or stylistic.
Parallel to his studio releases, Bing’s orchestral instincts have found new life on screen; recent scores for HBO Max’s The Staircase, Netflix’s Flint Tale, and the international thriller Red Election showcase an arranger capable of shifting from lush string passages to minimalist sound design without sacrificing emotional punch. Yet whether he is scoring a courtroom drama or leading a concert stage, a through-line remains: every phrase is conceived to move hearts toward hope.
With “Forgive Me,” Bing proves that genuine artistry is not confined by market cycles or language barriers. The single, rooted in faith, sculpted by a virtuoso of 21 instruments, and colored by his Spanish lineage, extends an intimate invitation into a narrative of redemption and cultural pride. It is both a personal prayer and a public reminder that music, when offered with honesty and skill, can bridge divides and shine light into the darkest corners of the human story.
