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…

Vocalist KENT HILLI’s debut solo album “The Rumble” is the culmination of the musical path the singer started since he debuted with Swedish melodic rock upstarts Perfect Plan. In 2017, when Perfect Plan completed their debut album “All Rise”, the band got a deal with the Frontiers label releasing two albums and one EP.
He also participated on Restless Spirits self-titled debut album, a melodic rock project masterminded by Tony Hernando (Lords of Black), where he was showcased alongside great artists and singers like Deen Castronovo (Revolution Saints, ex-Journey), Johnny Gioeli (Hardline), etc.
To craft the “The Rumble”, Kent joined forces with Mike Palace, who has produced the album and played all instruments, providing his knack for the ’80s sounds.
A diverse album with both melodic rockers and AOR ballads, “The Rumble” is going to be a true delight for fans of the genre. The disc resounds with the inspiration and influences from Kent’s idols like Giant, Foreigner, Survivor, Whitesnake, and Europe, to name a few…
