ISSA – Queen Of Broken Hearts (2021)

Can you imagine a more ’80s-like title than “Queen Of Broken Hearts” for the new ISSA Oversveen album? And this what the sixth album from the Norwegian delivers; lovely Eighties melodies. And despite many fans of the genre complain about some Alessandro Del Vecchio’s recent productions, here the sound and feel resulted great.
And then there’s the good songs. This is AOR with an – as always – fascinating and almost angel-like voice. Slightly epic at times, the material on “Queen Of Broken Hearts“ touch your soul – or is rather the voice?
Well, it’s the combination that matters because both things are good, but together they’re amazing. Just check out the unrivaled hook monsters “The Night It Rained Forever“ and “After The Rain“…
