'Angeline' is a Swedish formation which has already more than thirty years of existence but which only released a first LP in 2010 with 'Confessions', then, 'Disconnected' followed in 2011 and it took another 7 years for the third 'Shadowlands'. 'We Were Raised on Radio' which was released in February 2021 is therefore their fourth studio recording and, as you can imagine given their nationality, they offer us melodic hard-rock that smells good the 80s and this with 10 compositions made tailor-made to have a very pleasant time. The melodic hits follow one another starting with 'Helpless' which sends us an unstoppable first melody, then 'Closer' continues in an AOR that puts you in shape all day with a chorus that never leaves you, just like the two following compositions 'My Heart Won't Let You Go' and 'Raised On Radio'. The suite does not weaken and continues in heady melodic lines and the semi-acoustic ballad 'Come What May' is the perfect illustration. In short, no need to add more, the Swedes of 'Angeline' offers us a very beautiful album filled with addictive melodic jewels that will make happy among fans of melodic hard-rock of the 80s... | |
