'Stefano Viana' is an Italian guitarist who releases his first eponymous album and evolves in a melodic hard-rock with classical verse/chorus compositions drawing inspiration from the eighties. From the beginning, ‘Straight Between Our Hearts’ opens the record with an energetic title and a chorus that hangs from the first listening. The following is a reflection of this first title: a melodic line immediately assimilable, a singer (in the person of ‘Allessandro Del Vecchio' well known to participate in several projects of melodic rock bands) that perfectly sticks to this style, ubiquitous choirs, effective guitar solos. Stefano also does not forget the beautiful ballads with 'Follow The Dawn' and 'That Place Is You'. In short, even though some people regret a lack of variety, we spend a very good time listening to this first 'Stefano Viana's opus which should please a wide audience loving accessible melodic hard rock and catchy choruses... | |
