Album of the playlist 2021 : Melodic rock/hard-rock albums from the 1st half of 2021

'Paris' is a French group made up of 'Frédéric Dechavanne' and 'Sébastien Montet' who got to know each other on the school benches and who, in the 80s, started playing together being influenced by hard bands -rock melodic of the time and which finally released 2 albums, 'Only One Life' in 2013 and 'The World Outside' in 2016 . 2021 saws the release of a new album '50/50' produced by the very famous 'Steve Newman' in the middle of melodic hard-rock ('NEWMAN' and 'COMPASS'). We therefore find this AOR style that we knew on the previous opus with catchy compositions supported by incisive guitar riffs, vocal performances with choirs of the level of the best formations of the 80s and always very effective guitar solos, all this being wrapped by very accessible melodic lines. In short, even if they are not going to revolutionize melodic rock, the French of 'Paris' offer us a galette filled with compositions that we enjoy listening to and '50 / 50' is an album that should appeal to all amateurs and all lovers of accessible melodic rock...
