The rest of the album never in fact reaches that level again. There is an aspiration to create a big US sound, and they often makes the most of songs that are not upto the Martin brother\u00b4s normal standards. The echoes of WHITESNAKE and POISON are nice twists, but it also shows the flaws in comparison. The Eurovision Song Contest meets AOR is the preferred territory, alongside the compulsory Scandinavian sound. The oddest moment must be the title track. It is a highly emotional song, loaded in an electrical way, but also strangely lacking in direction. It\u00b4s like a house of cards. I wish for a new take on ISSA\u00b4s concept, with all new musicians. With a voice like ISSA you\u00b4re bound to hit it off sooner or later, not just this time though. <\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nLooking for Love<br \/>\nPlease Hold On<br \/>\nTake a Stand<br \/>\nInvincible<br \/>\nTwo Hearts<br \/>\nBlack Clouds<br \/>\nYou\u00b4re Making Me<br \/>\nGonna Stand by You<br \/>\nWe\u00b4re On Fire<br \/>\nToo Late for Love<br \/>\nWhat Does It Take<br \/>\nThe Storm<\/p>\n<p>www.frontiers.it www.myspace.com\/isabelloversveen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frontiers\/BAM Norwegian rock\u00b4s most fashionable beauty ISSA releases her second album.
