A considerable
improvement!
Ex-AT VANCE shouter,
Oliver Hartmanns debut solorelease was a major disappointment in my
opinion.
”Dull” was the word
that popped up in my head...
Well, his
passionate vocals are back! This time he’s surrendered to a very
classic AOR/Melodic Rock sound and it sounds surprisingly fresh and
energetic in contrast to his former contribution…
He still mixes
modern samples on top of the classic radiofriendly formulas but the
major improvement is located in the song pennin’ department.
There’s a really
striking flow on this release and even though he’ll never top BON
JOVI’s album sales, this is still a very potent contender to the
ranks of ”this years Melodic Rock album”.
There’s really not
a lot else to say than: ”Add this one to your AOR collection
immediately”!!
It’s bound to still
be admired years from now! |
