"Heartbreak"
is not a new album from the guy once dubbed: "LA session king and
AOR hero": Paul Sabu. This is the re-release of the very first album
engineered and produced by himself. Sort of the beginning of a great career,
that has seen him producing, mixing, writing songs and perform with such
artist as Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Shania Twain, The Nelsons and
Madonna just to name a few. "Heartbreak"
is the perfect testament to why many consider Paul Sabu to be one of the
most important hard rock / AOR song writers around. His trademark of big
sounding albums - off course you can hear this album is made in 1985 -
which nicely combine fat keyboards, catchy melodies and choruses with
superb vocals and blistering guitars makes not only this album very
interesting, but also his entire back catalogue, which include various
solo-album as well as his work in Only Child. The
10 original classic hard rock songs, along with 3 bonus songs, proves
once and for all that this album possesses at least as the same amount
of quality that any of the big selling Van Halen albums did back then... So
if you are missing this classic hard rock album from your collection,
then this is a great opportunity to get it! This album should be a part
of any hard rock fans collection in my humble opinion, and to
listen to it again has been pure pleasure... |
