THE STORM (Kristina Nichols) – Sweet Surrender [first time on CD]

THE STORM‘s  “Sweet Surrender” possibly was one of the best unreleased female fronted AOR albums ever. Recorded during the late ’80s but inexplicably shelved, finally – and fortunately – it was published some years ago after more than twenty years of wait.
We all know that the best Melodic Rock and AOR was recorded in the ’80s and early ’90s and “Sweet Surrender” is no exception.

Featuring the sensational vocals of Kristina Nichols, a renowned session vocalist who did backing vocals on major productions like Vince Neil’s Exposed, Audrey Landers’ Secrets, Timothy B. Schmit, etc, quite simply, this is a pure AOR GEM.
The material on offers is truly exceptional.

Highlighted by the golden vocal pipes of Kristina Nichols and complemented very nicely by Karen Childs harmony vocals (also keyboard player) as well as seasoned session musicians Joe Palmeri , Tad Dery and David Logeman , The Storm is a Melodic Rock AOR lovers dream.

How this band escaped a major label record deal is unbelievable. Every song is a bonafide hit and many of these were even covered by other bands of the era including Mark Free.
Ten huge pearls amassing massive hooks, killer vocals, tasty guitars and plenty of rich keyboard work.

I’m sure you will agree this is fantastic material and easily one of the best female-fronted AOR releases ever, on par with Witness, Saraya and Heart. Out Of Print.
