Funklord Dynasty<\/p>\n
NUBIAN ROSE seems pretty much a vehicle for the charismatic front woman Sofia Lilja. Great reviews and a favorable release in their native Sweden have paved way for this unashamed 80\u00b4s party. Lots of radio potential and somewhere between DIO and JOURNEY the info states, let\u00b4s see\u2026<\/p>\n
Opener \u201cEver See Your Face\u201d is pretty much in the promised vein; rather basic though efficient, but very Scandinavian. The title track has a more gritty riff, and leans far more in the direction of DIO. The moving balladry of \u201cHow Am I\u201d reminisces of RICHARD MARX, and is a fine contribution to the overall impression. \u201cGet Ready\u201d has a ring of the formula that brought THE SCORPIONS to fame around 1984 while EUROPE seems to be the inspiration for \u201cYour Love\u201d and WHITESNAKE might has something to do with the way \u201cOnce Bitten\u201d sounds. Plenty of pedigree to borrow from, but still the spark is only around at times. \u201cReckless\u201d is the JOURNEY of all journeys, a flirt with AOR complete with the cozy keyboard pattern, and arguably NUBIAN ROSE\u00b4s finest moment. The ending is a bit of a bore. To make sure no one misses out on the bands 80\u00b4s addiction they do a cover of the old OZZY and LITA FORD chestnut \u201cClose My Eyes Forever\u201d, and the album close \u201cSister\u201d is a bore with lots of punk in the mix. Sorry, but I can\u00b4t quite join the choir of admirers for this album, but it is a rather solid effort nevertheless. <\/p>\n
