“Illusions” is the debut album from VIOLET, the young band from Stuttgart, Germany living & playing keyboard-heavy ’80s inspired female -fronted AOR.
VIOLET was founded back in 2020. All members were at a great party at the legendary Rockfabrik Rockclub in Ludwigsburg in 2019, when the realized they all have the same great passion for 80s AOR and Hard Rock sounds like TOTO, HEART, STARSHIP, SURVIVOR, LITA FORD, VIXEN (just to name a few). They decided to give it a try and jammed together. The chemistry was there from second one and the band was born.
Since they all knew the people from Metalopolis Records, they hooked up with them and got a record deal. In fall 2020 VIOLET entered the studio together with producer Andy Konstandaras to start the recordings.
The album was mastered by Chris Jones at the Peak-Studios in Gerbrunn self-written songs and a cover version of the ’80s Pop superstar SAMANTHA FOX, who had a big hit with ‘Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me)’ back in the days.
If you like ’80s AOR music, you will love VIOLET.
