Hey, it's been at least almost a month since I last talked about 'Alessandro Del Vecchio'a nd the last 'Hardline' has just show up at the beginning of July, the last album of the Italian-American combo 'Life' being released in 2019. The lineup is now stabilized and they continue their way by offering us good melodic hard-rock and this starting with an explosive 'Fuel to the Fire' but, for those who like a certain variety, the whole is very balanced. with energetic and more measured bringing us back to an AOR of the 80s as shown by compositions like 'If I Could I Would' or 'Like That' or the melodic jewel 'Searching For Grace' or the aptly named ' 80's Moment '. And when the lights are dim, they have concocted two very classic ballads 'Heavenly' and 'We Belong' but which are yet to be added to the best melodic hard-rock ballads. In short, no need for long speeches, it is still a melodic hard-rock album to listen to in a loop and which should appeal to a large audience because all the compositions are very accessible and catchy from the first listen...
