Jochem van der Saag—who has worked with such artists as Josh Groban, Michael Bublé and Seal, produced the CD.

Keith Harkin is a twelve-track collection split between classic covers and original compositions. The album's first single is the bittersweet traveler's plea, "Don't Forget About Me," which will be accompanied by a video.

"I love all music, and a lot of my influences are on this record," says Harkin. "Neil Young, pop, dance, country—I love Glen Campbell. I see it like an old-school Elton John record, where he would play rock next to country next to folk. It's quite a broad horizon."

Cover versions of rock and pop classics include Van Morrison's "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You," featuring a duet with two-time Grammy Award winner Colbie Caillat, Tom Waits' "The Heart Of Saturday Night," "Everybody's Talkin'," which Harkin mastered at age 13, and a powerful version of Don Henley's "The End of the Innocence."

In addition to "Don't Forget About Me,"other self-penned tracks include the gently rolling, heartfelt love song "Nothing But You & I," and the yearning ballad, "Rosa," which Harkin considers "one of the best tracks on the album," adding, the first time I heard the strings added at Abbey Road Studios, I was in tears."
