Some days ago we featured in exclusive the unreleased material from ’80s/90s female fronted melodic rockers STILLETTO. Featuring the outstanding and incredibly soulful vocal talents of Debby Holiday, the band arrived too late into the scene, but was really talented.
Debby Holiday finally found success in the 2000’s in the dance/R&B market, scoring several Billboard hits.
However, Holiday’s heart belongs to rock n’ roll, and she continued writing and performing rock music and having a chance. Also, in between his pop-dance schedule, she recorded a lot of rock songs helped by renowned musicians & producers.
Titled ”Free2B”, this 15-track album is a showcase for DEBBY HOLIDAY must-hear vocal range. A diverse record immersed into the artist’s varied tastes from guitar-driven rockers to classic rockers to soulful ballads.
Among the musicians we find John Waite on a duet, Ty Tabor, and you’ll be surprised by Debby’s cover of KISS power ballad “I Still Love You” recorded with Bruce Kulick (guitar), Mitch Perry (guitar), Chuck Wright (bass) and Matt Starr (drums).
Impressive album and singer.
There’s a double CD version of ”Free2B” including an extra disc of Holiday’s pop-dance hits, but we are only interested into this Rock disc.
