Frédéric Slama’s AOR release his 20th cd “The Ghost Of L.A.”. The truth is that I was thirsty for the arrival of this album. The cd's theme is about the ever changing city of Los Angeles that lost its soul for a brand new world far from the recklessness of an era long gone. But the ghost of the 80's is still haunting the streets of L.A.. The strong introduction wakes me up from the very first notes, until the vocals come in… Wow! Steph Honde reminded me of the voice of the immortal Dinos Costakis from SPITFIRE and "First Attack" (1987)! I listen to the song and wonder if the first song is so perfect, what will follow… Listening to the songs, I think that the love for everyone can be a stranger, but Frédéric is a well-known top musician who bring us the love and what his soul contains, all these years, in his own unique way & music! His compositions touch my soul. At the end of the listening the benefit is: the silky musical veil that embraced my whole inner world and the inconceivable feeling that this album awakened in me! No suggested tracks because the whole album is a musical diamond!!! I’ll just comment the track “Good Intentions” because it’s an instrumental track with jazz/funk elements. "The Ghost Of L.A." features great performers such as Tommy Denander (A.Cooper, S.Walsh), Paul Sabu (ONLY CHILD, KIDD GLOVE, J.Waite), Rick Riso (CHASING VIOLETS, AOR), Steph Honde (HOLLYWOOD MONSTERS) & Markus Nordenberg (COASTLAND RIDE, PEARLS & FLAMES). All the fans of quality AOR/melodic rock music, buy it with your eyes closed!!! Thank you great Frédéric, one more time, for your great album! God bless you…
