FIND ME / WINGS OF LOVE (2013)

FIND ME is a new exciting melodic rock project featured by singer Robbie LaBlanc from Blanc Faces and Swedish producer and musician Daniel Flores (The Murder Of My Sweet). During 2011, Daniel Flores started to write songs that could create a really huge album! He knew exactly what kind of songs needed to be included in this huge album; songs with catchy choruses, great arrangements, a mix of old 80's sound with a strong dose of the modern melodic rock scene, passionate performances and most of all heart and soul.

For this record, Daniel called one really amazing songwriting team to contribute such as Soren Kronqvit (Sunstorm), Erik Martensson (W.E.T., Eclipse) but also the well-known Frontiers winning team of Alessandro Del Vecchio, Tom and James Martin, Issa and Mikey Wilson.

"Road To Nowhere" seems to be the perfect appetizer of what's coming-up next! A keyboard driven melodic rock gem with hard edged guitars, a huge chorus line and Robbie's amazing vocal lines! Really impressive! "Another World" is even better than the opener song! Another 'ballsy' rocker filled with killer keyboards and, of course, another highlight! "Dancing To A Broken Heartbeat" is one of those kinda tracks that fills you with a positive feel-good vibe with its amazing rhythm and up-tempo sound! "Eternally" is a nice mid-tempo cut with a very good chorus while in "Firefight" we have another up-tempo cracker again with a sing-a-long chorus and a huge guitar work! "On The Outside" features a more commercial sound and "One Soul" delivers one of the best melodic rock anthems of the album with, again, a monsterous chorus!! The 80's influenced "Powerless", the guitar-driven "Bottom Of My Heart" and the brilliant Def Leppard-ish "Unbreakable" are all awesome rockers that will make you whistle them for days.... "Wings Of Love" has everything that a regular melodic fan could ask for; a catchy as hell hook and chorus, passionate vocals, a crunchy guitar work and great arrangements. "Your Lips" is very good while the Japanese edition includes a bonus track, "Your Lips" , in a n acoustic version which is really good!

This is the melodic rock/AOR album of this year so far! No doubt about that! Every song here is a totally melodic rock bliss. "Wings Of Love" is a record full of melodic rock anthems, it's inspired from a golden era and most of all it has very good songs that take this little gem to paradise!! In one word; HUGE!
