JESSICA WOLFF – Para Dice (2020)

JESSICA WOLFF is a very busy young Finnish artist. Three years have passed since her last album. During this time, she did an European tour with TREAT, her own headlining tour, which ended with a performance at the HEAT Festival 2018, and songwriting / recording the new album “Para Dice“.
Produced by Jonas Olsson, “Para Dice” sounds much more the way she and her band sound live on stage. Harder, more direct – straight in your face.

While Jessica Wolff started her musical solo career in a rock&pop fashion with an edge, since then Jessica and her band known as ‘The Wolffpack’ have grown together as a team. This is also shown by the fact that her musicians have participated in the new album more than ever before.

‘Para Dice’ offers another Jessica face, more rocking but at the same time more melodic and direct.
‘Perfect Kind Of Wrong’ is indeed a perfect sample of the sound that the album is going to offer us, with its strong, very elaborated guitar riff and a devastating chorus.
Of course, there are themes that are very reminiscent of the structure used in Jessica’s previous material, such as the advance single ‘All The Right Things’, a commercial streak that has been widely accepted by all her followers.

The album is unrelenting and maintains a high level from start to finish including precious passages such as the heartfelt ‘The Sunny Side Of The Bay’, a beautiful tune that plays with sweetness and is very effective in the end. In all her releases one can delight in this type of composition that works like a charm.
The best hits are found in the second part of the album after the break offered on modern rocker ‘Kill Switch’ where one finds all the styling of previous releases.

From this moment on, you have to hold on as songs arrive that will make you enjoy the best of melodic hard rock.
Tracks like ‘Fight Forever’ (one of the highlights on the album), ‘Superhero’ (another jewel), the Bon Jovi like ‘Demons’, the honeyed ‘Take Me Away’, and the incredible tune that closes the album, ‘Strangers’, make this new release one of the sensations of 2020.

‘Para Dice’ is a fresh, powerful and full of melodic rock energy, spiced with a couple of more modern, commercial stuff (she needs to sell the album), and as whole a highly addictive cocktail that should give its creator the recognition she deserves.
