In this 2020 year, melodic rock is doing well because, after the Swedes of 'Arctic Rain', the same day also released the last baby of the Italians of 'Lionville' who in are on their 4th studio recording. After 'A Word of Fools' in 2017, it's the turn of 'Magic Is Alive' to see the light of day with unstoppable melodies that can remind of the beginnings of this style in the 70s with formations like 'Foreigner', 'Asia', 'Toto' or even 'Journey'. We are therefore immersed from the first title 'Nothing Without You' in pleasant melodic lines which gives the impression of being in a country of acquaintance with the formations mentioned above, then the titles parade one after the other with always the same talent. for melodic nuggets with memorable choruses, and I will simply quote my favorites with the catchy 'Every Little Thing (Leads Back To You)' and 'Living With The Truth' or the magnificent 'Reaching for the Sky' and 'Magic is Alive 'in a style mixing pop and funk, without forgetting the two beautiful ballads 'Finally You're With Me' and 'IntoThe Night' to add to your playlist of the best ballads.
In short, no need to write a long review, if you are fans of an elegant and catchy melodic rock from the first listen reminiscent of the 70s / 80s, this 'Magic Is Alive' is made for you and is therefore to be enjoyed without moderation... | |
