This is a late 90’s AOR masterpiece!!!, filled with great vocals, great solos, amazing keyboard work, superb catchy melodies and songs full of passion. One of those records that you hear and say, the songs are not devastating but are really cool. Musically, this has all the hallmarks of a great AOR/melodic rock album, bordering on pomp.
Not quite, only just. Imagine the guitar strut of KISS or Voodoo X laced with pomp keyboards. In fact the opening pair of “Nobody But U” and “Waiting 4 Love” has the handle of Jean Beauvoir all over it. It’s not until we get to the third track “Imaginary Lover’ that female vocals kick in. All up, a very good release, the Erik Norlander connection ensures a quality production.
