Here we go with the latest by the Queen of Rock and Roll. This is her first album in ten years and with help of producers Dave A. Stewart and Glen Ballard and the result is that the Queen still owns the crown. The first track and single “Secret Love” is such a beautiful soft melodic rock anthem full of keys and with Stevie’s voice shining through smooth guitars by Dave Stewart. The second cut “For What It’s Worth” is an acoustic song with some country touches while “In Your Dreams” keeps the country flavors with a funny rythm that will make you move your feet without stopping. One of the album’s highlight is “Moonlight (A Vampire’s Dream) a song enchanted by Stevie’s spell while “Annabel Lee” has all Stevie’s trademark. “Soldier’s Angel” is a dark song with guitars by Lindsey Buckingham and “Everybody Loves” is a smooth song with a polished production, soft keys and beautiful guitar solo and backing vocals by Dave Stewart while Stevie’s harder side is represented in “Ghost Are Gone”
In summary, this album is a mix of different styles but with all of Stevie’s flavor. Great come back.
