After 'Revlin Project', we go back to South America (like what!) with the Chileans of 'Hunter' who released an excellent album from AOR and whose leader, 'Ed Carabantes', collaborates with 'Revlin Project'. Spotted by 'Lion's Pride Music' after having produced an eponymous album of the group in 2018, 2021 sees a re-recording of all the titles in English (5 were in Spanish) under the leadership of the Danish record company. The album has been expanded for a total of 12 tracks which make us spend a pleasant time listening to this AOR which smells good the 80s and which can be enjoyed without moderation. From the outset, with the eponymous title of the album, we are conquered by this first heady chorus which gives us an impression of already known, then, in the same style we can quote the catchy melodic hits that are 'Far Away', 'Rise Up' and 'Warmer Love' but the majority of the compositions are in a more moderate tempo with the very good 'Tore Love', 'Love Hunter', 'Snake' and 'Somebody Said (Love Is A Lonely Word)' and when the rhythm is even more measured, the power ballads 'Sad Eyes' and 'Tonight' are to be added to the best AOR ballads. In short, no need to add more, 'Hunter' is still a great 2021 discovery in melodic rock which intends 'Hungry Heart' to all those who love major bands of this style of the 80s... | |
