Product Description
This is the new solo album by Orianthi, the female guitarist who rose to fame after being selected as the guitarist for Michael Jackson's comeback concert. After touring with Alice Cooper and Richie Sambora, Orianthi has reached even greater heights as both a guitarist and vocalist. Listen to her powerful hard rock! Orianthi is a female guitarist from Australia. At the age of 15, she served as a support act for Steve Vai, and at 18, she performed with Carlos Santana. She has always displayed her precocious talent, but in 2009, she was selected as a member of Michael Jackson's backing band, which brought her worldwide fame. Unfortunately, the concert was canceled due to Michael's sudden death, but Orianthi was featured prominently in the film "Michael Jackson: This Is It," released after his death, making her name known to music fans all over the world. Her success has continued ever since. Orianthi's single "According to You," from her 2009 solo album "Believe," not only reached the Top 10 in her native Australia but also the Top 20 in the US. She has since toured with superstars like Alice Cooper and Richie Sambora, solidifying her reputation as a top guitarist. Now, her new album "O," her first solo album in approximately seven years since "Heaven in This Hell" (2013), is being released. While her previous work saw her shift towards a bluesy hard rock style, this album further refines that direction. Although some modern arrangements are present, the album is fundamentally robust and free of excessive embellishments, making it a must-listen for hard rock and heavy metal fans. Her guitar skills are undeniable, but her vocal abilities have also significantly improved, as she sings with remarkable power and emotion. This year, Gibson is also planning to release a signature acoustic guitar model for Orianthi. Even greater success is expected.
