FIND ME – Wings Of Love [Japanese edition +1] (2013) *Exclusive*

As requested, here’s the now out of print Japanese edition including a bonus track of FIND ME first album ”Wings Of Love”. FIND ME born to showcase vocalist Robbie LaBlanc (Blanc Faces) who Frontiers Records have partnered with producer & songwriter Daniel Flores with the aim of creating a strong Melodic Rock / AOR album.
Well… BANG! Their aim was fulfilled; pure AOR doesn’t get much better than this!
“Wings Of Love” stays faithful to elements of traditional sounding melodic rock as well but mixing it up with some more modern elements to keep it fresh. It’s instantly gratifying with its pleasurable hooks, delicious keyboards, memorable melodies and contagious choruses…

FIND ME – Dark Angel [Japan Edition +1] (2015) Out Of Print

As requested, here’s “Dark Angel“, the second album from FIND ME in its Japanese edition including a bonus track, now out of print. FIND ME, the collaboration between Swedish musician, songwriter and producer Daniel Flores (Issa, The Murder of My Sweet, Seventh Wonder) and awesome singer Robbie LaBlanc from Blanc Faces was put together by Frontiers Records with a vision to unleash another AOR behemoth.
FIND ME’s debut album received excellent reviews and left fans begging for more music from the duo. No demands could have been easier to fulfill as the two guys just love working together and finding the right songs for the group from contributors like Alessandro Del Vecchio, legendary Mark Mangold, brothers Tom and James Martin (Vega, Issa), Soren Kronqvist (Sunstorm), Niclas Olsson (Alyson Avenue) or Philip Lindstrand (Strong) was a pleasure…

ROBBIE LaBLANC – Double Trouble (2021)

Robbie LaBlanc is not only one of the melodic rock world’s most admired singers, but increasingly its most prolific. It’s only a few months since the East Temple Avenue album was released, where he lent his golden voice to, but now comes his first album under his own name, titled “Double Trouble“.
It’s very much a partnership with two of the scene’s greats, in FM singer Steve Overland and respected guitarist Tommy Denander, who have written and produced the album.
While Robbie’s bands Blanc Faces and East Temple Avenue sat firmly in the AOR mainstream, and the Find Me albums boasted a more clinical, keyboard-driven approach, on this occasion they have created an almost vintage melodic hard rock sound, with a natural rather than formularised feel, which is to be commended…
