Shayne Malone – Symphony
Label: self-released
Release date: out now
Website: www.shaynemalone.com
In the interview we did at the beginning of this year SHAYNE MALONE had excluded an album in 2020, but Covid-19 not only changed his life. So his sixth longplayer “Symphony“ was released far earlier than announced. But hey, what can be wrong in getting great, unexpected music? Once again, this effort shows the artist‘s everlasting love for 80’s Melodic Rock, especially in tracks like “I‘m Talking To You“ (unmasked KISS greet in the chorus!) and the acoustic ballads “Burning For Your Heart“ and “My Angel“. My favorite on the CD without a doubt is “Wind Of Change“ – the hook immediately burns inside your brain and doesn‘t leave it for days. With the exception of playing bass and drums, the multi-instrumentalist has done everything alone including mix, mastering and production. Once again you can feel the enormous lifeblood Mr. MALONE has spent on his music – so don‘t hesitate to open your wallet and buy Shayne‘s records either from his own shop or via bandcamp. Support the underground!
