Harry Hess rose to fame as vocalist of HAREM SCAREM, which lasted for seventeen years. AS of late he has been redesigning his career into production work and songwriting but he also found time for a solo career. The basis for this album is Harry\u00b4s travels in Europe and the USA, and he strives to recall certain sounds and atmospheres from that period. Featured musicians include former HAREM SCAREM members Pete Lesperance, Creighton Doane, and Darren Smith, but also the likes of Howie Simon (TALISMAN), Magnus Karlsson (Just about everyone), Tommy Denander (senast i IMPERA) etc. <\/p>\n
Harry opens with the title track, and it fares well. The arrangements and the refrain are in the class that one expects from this caliber of musicians. \u201cReach for You\u201d is very light, which is a problem for me, while the caressing \u201cIt\u00b4s Over\u201d hits the fine line between pop and rock and works much better. I have very little to say about the level of musicianship on display here. But when Harry goes modern-ish in songs like \u201cDon\u00b4t Leave Me\u201d, \u201cNothing Lasts Forever\u201d, or enters the realms of synth pop even, as in \u201cI Don\u00b4t Wanna Want You\u201d he also leaves the space of credibility and solidity he he\u00b4s built over the years. I can understand he wants to do slightly differently but this might alienate his fans. I think he fares much better in solid melodic rock with a radio potential, like the excellent \u201cWhat If\u201d and I Live for You\u201d. With this outing Harry\u00b4s shown himself to have mileage left for quite some time, but I think he need s to do what most ask of him. <\/p>\n
