I presented you a few days ago the album 'Queen of Broken Hearts' of 'Issa' and, on the same day, was released the debut solo album of the Welshwoman 'Chez Kane' who has already recorded two albums with her sisters under the band name of 'Kane'D', first 'Rise' in 2015 and 'Show Me Your Skeleton' in 2018. The 'Frontiers Records' label which produces 'Issa' and 'Chez Kane' albums therefore diversifies to certainly open the melodic hard-rock style to the general public, but unlike what we can have in the field of international variety where the look often prevails over the music, both young ladies also ensure at the musical level and therefore offer us good melodic hard-rock that takes us back to the best of the 80s.
Regarding 'Chez Kane', the Welshwoman is supported by composer/producer 'Danny Rexon' ('Crazy Lixx') and the 10 compositions of the Swede are all sized to hook the listener from the first listen with refrains that titillate our neurons and that we want to replay in a loop, enthusiasm being the key word throughout the opus. Whether it's catchy compositions with melodies that immediately embed themselves in the head like 'Rocket on the Radio' or 'Get It On' or 'Midnight Rendezvous', melodic AOR rock like 'Better Than Love' or 'Too Late for Love', or even rhythmic mid-tempos that start the headbanging machine like 'All of It', without forgetting the quieter moments like 'Defender of the Heart' or 'Dead End Street', we find the spirit of the 80s with female singers like 'Pat Benatar', 'Johan Jett', 'Lee Aaron', 'Lita Ford' or even 'Bonnie Tyler'.
In summary, 'Chez Kane' is releasing an album that embarks us in the time machine with addictive melodies that will put you in shape for a whole day and, like 'Issa', she has it all the assets to become a new ambassador of a mix between melodic rock and hard-rock very accessible to the greatest number... | |
