PARIS – 50/50 (2021)
To be released by AOR Heaven, “50/50” is the third album by French AOR outfit PARIS. The band consists of two old friends Frédéric Dechavanne (v/keys) and Sébastien Montet (guitar), both heavily influenced by the Eighties style of the genre, the music they love.
While very ’80s in nature, their music sounds fresh and not old-fashioned in any way. There’s plenty of mature songwriting on tracks like “Ashes To Ashes“, “Surrender“, “Superhero“ or “Game Changer“, produced with a pristine crisp by Steve Newman, who also provide vocals.
As happened on the previous PARIS albums, Work Of Art & W.E.T. guitarist Robert Sall guests on one song.
