Nevena Dordevic is a Serbian singer/songwriter/pianist/educator who has appeared in musical theatre plus labored in jazz, pop, and rock. She discovered fame within the Serbian expertise present ‘The First Voice Of Serbia’. Having made her approach by means of her musical coaching she determined to enroll within the Berklee College of Music in Boston the place members of Dream Theater as soon as studied. She carried out in varied main roles at Berklee, and this introduced her to the eye of Frontiers who put her within the greater than succesful arms of producer/songwriter/musician Mike Palace. And right here now we have the fruits of their labor.
Brilliant keys and a gritty guitar introduce ‘Bulletproof’ and it’s instantly obvious why Frontiers took an opportunity. Nevena has a splendidly clear voice within the vein of Pat Benatar and Lee Aaron. There are a great deal of ‘Ooooaah’s’ and a few sturdy hooks earlier than the pristine polished pop-rock of ‘Unhealthy Solar Rising’ and ‘Straight Into Insanity’. ‘Too Late’ begins with a cool groove earlier than it opens up into rockier territory with some stabbing keys then we get the stop-start of ‘Writers Block’ which has a wonderful full melody and a few glorious fills. ‘Miracle’ is the piano-led energy ballad earlier than the brilliant and poppy ‘You Two’ then we get a bit ballsier on ‘Fireplace In Me’ which has an entire load of FM-style fist pumping. Issues get a bit darker and moodier with ‘Model New Coronary heart’ and the superior rocker ‘Veil In The Mirror’ which has hit written throughout it. ‘Outrageous’ ends issues with a synth-heavy melodic chugger.
Frontiers have produced one other ‘as anticipated’ collaboration. Palace performs all of the devices expertly and the manufacturing is polished to a excessive shine with out sounding sterile. Nevena has a superb voice that exhibits some vary however at occasions I believe she was enjoying protected when she may have proven a bit extra energy. That is stylish AOR of the very best order.
