Mikael Erlandsson needs no further introduction when it comes to melodic rock. He has released six successful solo albums and a lot of titles with groups like Phenomena, Salute among others. Between 2006-2018 Erlandsson fronted the Swedish super group Secret Service which he toured with live all over the world. Together with the fantastic guitar player Andy Malecek from the successful German hard rock band Fair Warning he founded the band LAST AUTUMNS DREAM in 2003 which also featured Ian Haugland, Mic Michaeli and John Leven of Europe fame at the time. Last Autumn’s Dream went on releasing another 14 albums with different line ups including great musicians like Jamie Borger (Treat) and Marcel Jacob (Talisman). Erlandsson founded the group AUTUMN’S CHILD who have released three extremely successful albums so far (“Autumn’s Child” – 2019, “Angel’s Gate” – 2020, “Zenith” – 2022). Autumn's Child returning with their fourth album “Starflower”, their second release via Pride & Joy Music. The group still features Michael Erlandsson on vocals, keyboards & guitars, Pontus Åkesson on lead guitar, Robban Bäck on drums, Claes Andreasson on piano and Magnus Rosen on bass. I choose tracks: Gamechanger, Aphrodites Eyes (great song with great guitar and melodies, maybe a little influenced by QUEEN’s Innuendo… I really love it!! Hit-single!!!), Welcome To The Show, Karenina (the 2nd great song of this release, an original 100% hit-single!! Play it only loud!!!), 1995, I Can't Get Enough & The Final Call (very influenced I think from Bryan Adams…). Another wonderful result from Mikael and his gang! I love his music all of these years! Also I love the great musician Magnus Rosen (Von Rosen, Billionaires Boys Club, Hammerfall, Jorn, T. Martin etc.) 🖤Suggested release!!! 💯
