KENT HILLI (Perfect Plan) – Vital 4 (2021)
Hot on the heels of the release of “The Rumble”, his well received debut solo album, Perfect Plan‘s frontman KENT HILLI has announced the release of a new covers EP, “Vital 4” on September 3, 2021. As with his debut, Kent once again teams up with producer Michael Palace to offer his take on songs by Joe Lynn Turner, ’80s Michael Bolton, Signal, and Europe.
“I chose these four songs because they are among my top 10 songs of all time and these singers are on my top 10 list of the best Melodic Rock/AOR singers of all time. I have always wanted to cover these songs and I enjoyed every second doing them with my buddy Mike [Palace]… listen to his guitar playing on these songs, wow!” – Kent Hilli
And Hilli really nailed the heart of these songs with stupendous performances.
“Vital 4” follows Hilli’s debut solo album “The Rumble”, which was released on June 18, 2021. To craft the album Kent joined forces with Mike Palace, who has produced. This musical partnership has turned out to be a “match made in heaven”.
Mike is an amazing talent and together with Kent they have developed an incredible chemistry that really caught the sound Kent was envisioning for the album.
“The Rumble” resounds with the inspiration and influences from Kent‘s idols like Giant, Foreigner, Survivor, Whitesnake, and Europe, to name a few. That musical style is built in Kent‘s DNA by now. The legendary voices of Lou Gramm, Jimi Jamison, Dann Huff, David Coverdale, Joe Lynn Turner, and Joey Tempest are Kent‘s true inspirations and have influenced his vocal style.
And now we can hear that on those really good cover versions.
