POST DA SEMANA : Turkish Delight - Volume II (2023) Internacional

Após um lançamento muito agradável no ano passado, agora vem TURKISH DELIGHT ” Volume Two”. Mais uma vez, um projeto de estrelas com os talentos de composição de Fredrik Folkare (Eclipse), Peter Hallgren, Dan Reed (Dan Reed Network) Lee Small (Phenomena / Lionheart), Steve Morris (Export / Ian Gillan / Heartland), Mike Slamer (City Boy / Steve Walsh / Seventh Key), Mick Devine (Seven), Steve Newman (Newman / Compass) e Tommy Denander (Radioactive / Steve Walsh) também há uma lista de músicos que, francamente, é MUITO impressionante.
Os músicos citados também cantam/tocam no álbum, complementados pelos quem é quem da cena, só para citar alguns; Jeff Scott Soto, Jean Beauvoir, Robin McAuley, Mike Slamer, Mark Boals, Steve Mann, James LaBrie, Dan Reed, Kai Hansen, Billy Sheehan, Tommy Denander, Marc Storace, Rudy Sarzo, Dino Jelusick, Laurence Archer e a impressionante lista continuou… O que tu estás ouvindo aqui é uma gravação de melódico rock de "vários artistas" soberbamente trabalhada, apresentando os artistas envolvidos fazendo exatamente o que tu queres que eles façam - cada um apresentando uma performance favorita dos fãs. Um tributo retro, se tu quiseres, mas soando sempre novo, graças aos trabalhos feitos para fazer este álbum soar tão bem quanto ele.
Apesar do número de compositores e músicos envolvidos, todo o álbum se mantém bem, ajudado porque o tema do álbum é criar um melódico rock agradável e de alta qualidade.
