Title: Soul To Soul
Artist/Band: GROUNDBREAKER
Country: International
Release date: 12/11/2021
Company: Frontiers Music
Style: Melodic Rock
GROUNDBREAKER's new album, "Soul To Soul" is once again centered on the fantastic vocal talents of Steve Overland (FM) with stunning production by Alessandro Del Vecchio. While the self-titled debut was a collaboration with Robert Sall (Work of Art, W.E.T), on the songwriting side, joining Steve and Alessandro this time are Stefano Lionetti (Lionville), Pete Alpenborg (Arctic Rain), Jan Akesson (Infinite & Divine), and Kristian Fyhr (Seventh Crystal). The resulting album is simply everything that a melodic rock fan could hope and dream for. Expect nothing less than soaring hooklines, magnificent melodies, and amazing instrumental performances. Mixing the best of the European melodic rock traditions, Groundbreaker's "Soul To Soul" is easily one of the melodic rock highlights of the year. The lineup on the new album includes Sven Larsson (ex-Street Talk) on guitars, Nalley Pahlsson (ex- Vindictiv, Therion) on bass, Herman Furin (Work of Art) on drums, and Alessandro Del Vecchio on keyboards. Steve Overland plays lead guitar on the track “Wild World” too. Great rhythm & melodic lines, nice lyrics and the cherry on the cake by the sweet, incredible, unique, velvet voice of one and only Mr. Steve Overland!!! I choose tracks: “Evermore”, “Wild World”, “Soul To Soul”, “Carrie”, “Standing On The Edge Of A Broken Dream”, “It Don't Get Better Than This”, “There's No Tomorrow”, “When Lightning Strikes”, “Til The End Of Time” and “Leap Of Faith”. A feast of melodic rock!!! SUGGESTED!!!
