“Walk Away,”is all keys and synths and then the guitars come in and the real show begins. Some absolutely blinding melodies are crafted throughout the song and the vocals are on point.
“The First Time,” works brilliantly, shifting the tempo and the measurement of the song excellently, whilst also carving out a new niche to drive home the point. And those vocals, those vocals are on point.
“Master Of Illusions,” is an interesting song. It’s got a bit of a discordant beginning with a shift through the minor chords, before gradually picking up and moving into anthemic territory, with a story board being thrown through the windows of the listener’s mind.
“The Sun Goes Down,” blends an atmospheric attitude with a darkened sensibility to produce something quite compelling and addictive.
“Paradise,” works overtime to produce something magical, and it succeeds. Truly the melodical composition of this song is something to marvel at.
“The Rhythm of My Life,” takes on the story board and moves grows through the portraits of time to produce something quite compelling.
“Follow The Sun,” works into being and shimmies through the line. The vocals bring the listener along for the ride and everything grooves in the right places.
“Father To Son,” slows things down and makes the listener reflect on past times and future lines.
“After All This Time,” works into overdrive to get everything just right. And reader, it works, it works magnificently.
“Victim Of Your Love,” breeds an interesting change in proceedings. Slowly working up and then immediately accelerating to produce something fantastic.
“Just Let It Happen,” is dark and foreboding and the perfect closer for this album.
The record is out on 6th March via Frontiers Music
