REVIEW : STAN BUSH – DARE TO DREAM (Cargo Records UK, Release 20th November 2020)

The voice of AOR, Stan Bush, is back in business with his brand new opus entitled "Dare To Dream". The new album is the artist's 14th official release already. Stan Bush is well-known for his up-tempo, up-beat and hookladen music and he is rightly considered as one of the best performers/musicians in today's melodic rock world.

The opening tune of "Born To Fight" is probably one of the best tracks out of the new album. Heavier with the well-known Stan Bush elements in front row and a chorus line to die for. This song is featured in the worldwide promotion campaign on NETFLIX for the two most popular anime shows; BAKI and Kengan Ashura.  The ultra melodic and beautiful tune of "Dare To Dream" is simply fanatastic while in "A Dream Of Love" we are dealing with yet another stunning track. A 'darker' AOR gem with a haunting melody in it and Bush's soulful performances that leaves you breathless. 

The title of the track "80's" says it all; this time we have a great hymn for the music that we all love. A song that captures all the magic, vibe and feeling of the glory days. The Survivor-esque "Heat Of Attack" and the melodious "Dream Big" are two of my personal favourite tunes out of "Dare To Dream"!!! 

Stan Bush with his brand new release urge us to dream big through these hard times that we all are going through. His positive vibes through the songs are the vechicle to dream for better days. One of the top releases this year.
