The Germans of 'A Life Divided', whose last album 'Human' dates from 2015, released a new album 'Echoes' at the end of January 2020. We are still in New Waves influences of the 80s when electro took off and rock groups like 'Depeche Mode' were at the top of the bill. But, to these influences, they add an undeniable talent for effective and very accessible melodies and this on the whole album : 'Hello Emptiness' which begins is certainly one of the most tormented tracks of the album with a rhythm quite slow but from 'Dry Your Eyes', the chorus and the electronic arrangements take us back a few decades back on a more carefree note and 'Addiced' accelerates the rhythm for a catchy track that we immediately appropriate. The continuation continues in this way with electronic sounds with for example, 'Confronted' which has a little taste of 'Shout' from 'Tears for Fears' released in 1985 or 'Enemy' with its marked tempo typical of the 80s or even' Circles' and its addictive refrain made to be sung in unison by a whole audience.
In summary, this latest album from 'A Life Divided' is made to have a good time to the rhythm of catchy and light compositions with electronic sounds that take us back a few decades and, if you like bands like 'Depeche Mode', 'Duran Duran' or 'Tears for Fears' in the 80s, this album is for you definitely... | |
