Sabu is the namesake of singer/guitarist/producer Paul Sabu (A. Cooper, J. Waite, F. Slama’s AOR, L. Aaron, Glass Tiger, Madonna, Silent Rage, D. Bowie etc.) whose outstanding contributions to the genre over the past three decades have made him a legendary figure in the world of AOR. This will be the first Sabu album since 1998's "Between The Light" and the sixth Sabu album overall. "Banshee" was created in collaboration with Barry Sparks (ex-Y. Malmsteen, M. Schenker Group, UFO, Dokken, and T. Nugent), who, along with Paul, provides all the instrumentation on the album, as well as background vocals. Fans who are familiar with Sabu's work will find that the sound and vibe of "Banshee" is in line with Paul's classic releases under the band moniker Only Child, so, needless to say, something for AOR aficionados to truly look forward to. Paul Sabu is a rock legend. For over 30 years he has done it all, from singer and songwriter to coveted guitarist, producer, and recording engineer. He has created smash hits, chart-topping albums, and an arsenal of top artists, and his numerous awards and accomplishments make him one of the most influential and best-selling artists in AOR history. Paul Sabu is one of my favorite singers and with Barry Sparks both are great professionals and musicians. Cover artwork reminds me a little of Chinatown, in a vintage style… Like it! I choose tracks: Blinded Me, Banshee, Kandi, Love Don’t Shatter, Back Side Of Water, Skin To Skin, Rock (another super-hit by Paul…!!!), Turn The Radio On, Dirty Money, Midnight Road To Madness & Rock The House (oh good God of rock’n’roll… this is the 2nd f**kin’ super-hit of the album!!!). We love ya Paul!!! 🖤 Turn up the volume guys and enjoy it!!! 💯💥
