DARBY MILLS PROJECT – Flying Solo (2018)

She is one of the finest Canadian Rock singers, she fronted for 36 years celebrated melodic rockers Headpins recording 3 albums, and she did backing vocals of countless ’80s records. Now, DARBY MILLS felt it was now or never.
Taking a leap of faith she is set on the path to find herself and rekindle her passion. In Aug 2016 Darby performed her last gig with the Headpins and The DARBY MILLS PROJECT was born. With the release of a collection of solo material titled “Flying Solo” it was the perfect moniker to her new endeavors.

2018 is emerging as an exciting time for Darby Mills and a new era for the veteran performer. With the release of her new CD titled “LIVE – The Darby Mills Project”, recorded at the Russian Hall and produced by award winning recording engineer Ron Obvious fans will love the energy, vibe and passion exuding from Mills and her steadfast army of rock n’ roll veterans.

This “Flying Solo” was only released in Canada two years ago, now available world-wide accompanying the release of “Live”.
Thank God she did it… “Flying Solo” is simply stunning.

This is a compilation of songs recorded by Darby Mills during the ’80s / early ’90s, released under the ‘Darby Mills And The Unsung Heroes’ moniker, long time out of print.
All the material has been digitally remastered for the first time, and it sounds million bucks.

Four songs were co-written with Canadian AOR guru Stan Meissner. Just listen to “Cry To Me”… this is pure AOR of the highest order, plenty of keyboards and sublime vocals by Mills.
And then ‘Never Look Back’ (Stan Meissner / Bruce Turgon)… killer pulsating AOR to die for! Total stabbing keys and anthemic chorus.

But there’s more pearls. The entire album is a shining diamond.
Midtempo ‘Give It All Up’ is pure melodic rock gold, and if you need a hard rockin’ edge just taste ‘Bad Bad Boy’ co-written with another talented cat, Tom DeLuca.
‘Someone Turn The Light On’ is the best AOR ballad Fiona never recorded, and we find more bite on the killer melodic hard rocker ‘Want It’, full of terrific guitars.

Once you sink your teeth into the first musical bits of “Flying Solo”, you’ll know you’ve found a gem.
Easily among the best female fronted AOR ever recorded, all the songs on this CD are fantastic. Why Darby Mills as solo artist never became a household name is beyond me.

The album was silently put on sale few weeks ago with almost zero promotion, but that’s why 0dayrox is here… our ‘search machine’ bringing to you the finest AOR / Melodic Rock releases, in exclusive.
