HEARTBREAK RADIO – Heartbreak Radio [Claes Andreasson Remaster] (2020) *EXCLUSIVE*

HEARTBREAK RADIO is a Swedish AOR band formed in 2004 by songwriters / producers Claes Andreasson and Torbjörn Wassenius as a Last Autumn’s Dream spin-off.
On the 2005 self-titled debut album Pierre Weinsberg (Elevener, Denander’s Radioactive, Prisoner) and Mikael Erlandsson (LAD) performed lead vocals, while the session musicians include Tommy Denander, Sayit and T’Bell on guitars, Mikkey Dee (Don Dokken, Motorhead) on drums, Jim Jidhed (Alien) doing backing vocals, and more.
Now Andreasson has remastered and reissued “Heartbreak Radio” with a cleaner, more defined sound, featured in exclusive at 0dayrox.

The result was an album crammed with AOR and West Coast goodness, where smooth as silk melodies and radio friendly grooves jostled gently with melodies to remind of Toto, Journey, TNT, or more recent acts such as Street Talk and Denander’s Radioactive.

You have classic AOR bliss on the superb “Don’t Look in Her Eyes”, the awesomely Journey-esque “Only You”, or the pumping midtempo “Now You’re Gone”.
But they rock with a great melodic hard rock pulse as well like on the catchy “Hard Rock City” (somehow reminds me of a solo ’80s Joe Lynn Turner or Sunstorm), “Rockin’ The Night” with some Radioactive and TNT circa My Religion on it, or the LAD-like “Knockin’ On Hells Door”.
And of course there’s elegant smooth tunes with a West Coast style like ‘The Way Of The World’ (think Journey Trial By Fire era) or the ballad “Love Don’t Live Here No More”

You can’t go wrong with these cats onboard, and songwriting, performances and production are top notch.
I still prefer the original cover artwork, but heck, glad to have such cool remaster / reissue; “Heartbreak Radio” is pure class AOR / Melodic Hard Rock all over.
