SAPPHIRE EYES – Magic Moments (2020)
While not the most prolific acts from the scene, SAPPHIRE EYES is one of the best Scandinavian melodic rock AOR bands out there.
Started as a solo project by keyboard player Niclas Olsson (Alyson Avenue, Second Heat), the self-titled debut album resulted highly praised. Then Olsson decided to form a full band made up of friends and familiar Swedish musicians, and Finnish vocalist Kimmo Blom (Leverage, Urban Tale). This crew produced Breath Of Ages, the second album. Now Sapphire Eyes returns with their effort ‘Magic Moments’, indeed, a magic set of amazing AOR hooklines, versatile melodic arrangements and a very detailed production.
