ISSA To Release Crossfire Album In February; EPK Posted

Frontiers Music Srl  will release Crossfire, the brand new studio album from Norwegian melodic rocker, Issa, on February 20th in Europe and February 24th in North America.

This new release goes straight in a classic melodic rock / AOR musical direction with huge vocals, layers of keyboards and masses of guitars.

The album has been carefully produced by John Greatwood along with Vega ivory-tinkler James Martin. Sessions started in early 2013 with a bunch of songs Issa had co-written or demoed in the Martin Brothers songwriting sessions

Issa says: “After 5 years of working together with Tom and James, we had come up with a collection of songs I had to keep for myself.''

 

 

One song in particular sees Issa teaming up with FM vocalist Steve Overland on the dramatic ballad “Raintown”. “This was a dream come true for me,” tells the Norwegian chanteuse. “Steve Overland is probably my favorite male singer and to get him on board was a true honor, his voice suits the song perfectly, wait till you hear this one!”

Other guest musicians stepped up when asked upon to perform solo's include Daniel Palmqvist (XOrigin), Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline), Steve Newman (Newman), Robert Sall (Work Of Art), Daniel Johansson (Degreed), Stephen Chesney. As well as powerhouse choir including Pete Newdeck (In Faith/Tainted Nation), Matt Black (Fahran) and Michael Kew (Vega).

Look out for the moody and slick “New Horizon”, the ballsy rocker ''Electric Lights'' and the spine tingling ''Ghost Inside My Heart',' not forgetting the song with a million dollar chorus “Heartbeat”, plus the video track “Crossfire”.
