'Levara' is a new formation which was born from the meeting of the French singer 'Jules Galli', the American guitarist 'Trev Lukather' and the English drummer 'Josh Devine'. We already knew the first four singles, 'Heaven Knows', 'Chameleon', 'Automatic' and 'Ever Enough' released a few months ago (see their youtube channel here) which already gave us a good idea of the musical direction, offering us a rather quiet AOR with harmonious melodies that we immediately appropriate and which is directly influenced by the major melodic rock formations of the 80s (normal because in the Lukather family, I would like father Luke: I have, he was one of the founding members of 'Toto'). So, six new original compositions have been added and which are all in the same style and we spend a very pleasant time listening to this first LP of the trio to which is added the guest bassist 'Sam Porcaro' and the choirs of former 'Journey' singer 'Steve Perry' (expected to release a new album soon, listen to the new single here). In short, this new cosmopolitan melodic rock project shows the talent of these artists which offers us a very good melodic rock album and which should run in a loop among a lot of fans of formations of this style which takes us back four decades back into the time machine... | |
