HEAT [Female Fronted] – Heat (1993) out of print

As requested, here’s the hard to find ($ 200 for a used copy) of the cult classic female fronted Melodic Rock / AOR self-titled album of HEAT. This German outfit won a Rock contest in 1992 and the prize was an album release.
At the time of entering into the studio, Heat’s line up included Elke Klein (vocals), Lutz Korndörfer (keyboards), Torsten Weber (guitar), Marcus Rippl (bass) and Ralf Deutscher (drums), although seems some session musicians also participate to the recordings for their debut album “Heat”.

The 11 songs on offer musically delivers smooth, refined Melodic Rock in the style of WITNESS or HEART, that meaning a strong American influence, but also European similar to Gudrun LAOs more AORish side.
Singer Elke Klein does an excellent job dropping sensual vocals all over really good songs, among the best “Crying”, “Never Say No”, “What About Love” and “Raise Your Hands” worth to mention.
This “Heat” album is a wonderful piece of classic Female Melodic Rock, much sought after today and crying for a reissue.
Highly Recommended
