SAPPHIRE EYES is one of the best Swedish melodic bands out there – and obviously there are a lot. The follow-up to \u201cBreath Of Ages\u201c (2018) and album number three in total combines many qualities as there are sugar sweet hooklines, tons of keyboards or versatile songwriting. Anette Olzon (v, ex NIGHTWISH) is on board again, like on the last album, singing guest vocals on one track (\u201cBring Back The Night\u201c). And all I can hope for is that we will hear more in the future in that very genre. SAPPHIRE EYES mastermind Niclas Olsson (keys) and the female singer do share a common history. They were both in ALYSON AVENUE, another highly underrated melodic act from up north. But let\u2019s go back to SAPPHIRE EYES today. Melodic sounds with amazingly cool arrangements and a very detailed production. A great piece of music and a highlight of the year for sure. Kimmo Blom (URBAN TALE) from Finland on vocals is always a great choice as he offers a very unique and charismatic voice. Just check out the epic \u201cCutting Like A Knife\u201c or especially the opening track \u201cStill Alive\u201c. Also the pretty emotional title track will make you press the repeat botton immediately. It\u2019s classic Swedish AOR but from 2020. Absolutely no weak track on board. That\u2019s the way it should be. Believe me, there IS something about the water in Sweden\u2026otherwise those \u201eMagic Moments\u201c would hardly be possible\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
