Product Description
A melodic super project featuring a star-studded lineup has arrived from ESCAPE MUSIC in the UK! ESCAPE MUSIC, a central label in the UK melodic scene that has consistently released mainly melodic hard rock, is releasing a super project featuring a luxurious lineup of singers including Jeff Scott Soto, Robin McAuley, DORO, James Christian, Robin Beck, and more! This is a major project brought together by Bruce Mee, a comrade who founded the melodic label NOW & THEN in the 90s, which launched bands like TEN and Mark Free, and later organized major UK melodic rock festivals such as THE GODS and FIREFEST, greatly enlivening the scene, together with Khalil Turk, the head of ESCAPE MUSIC! The album contains 5 carefully selected cover songs and 9 exquisite melodic original tracks. The original songs are handled by Mikael Rosengren, who has showcased his incredible talent in bands such as HEARTWIND and CONSTANCIA! They've created fantastic songs tailored to the individuality of each singer. Many were probably surprised to see names like Darby Mills (HEADPINS) and Jamie Kyle. The backing musicians are also top-notch, including Joel Hoekstra (g/WHITESNAKE), Steve Mann (g/key/MSG, LIONHEART), Tommy Denander (g/RADIOACTIVE), Josh Devine (dr/ONE DIRECTION), Wayne Banks (BRAZEN ABBOT, etc.), and backing vocals by Gary Hughes, Kevin Chalphant, Mick Devine, and others! A dream project delivers a dream melodic album. The liner notes are, of course, by Masao Fujiki of Burrn! OnLine.
