I have been waiting to do this review for a while and thanks to Johnny Forslund from Sweden the CD is finally in my hands. I have been excited for sometime about TITAN and their music and now finally have a chance to indulge in music from some great new young rockers and their expertise in melodic rock. These guys are young and already have high hopes and I can certainly second the notion. Gustav Bergström and Simon Cop, formerly of the band STRIKER, hook up with new vocalist Gustav Larsson, keyboardist Christofer Björck and guitarist Kristian Larsen to round out TITAN.
The CD starts off with “Hero” which has highflying keyboards by Christofer Björck giving way to the sweet sounds of vocalist Gustav Larsson. The tempo is a soft beat but is brought to life with smooth background vocals and a classic chorus. Track two “I Want You” is another smooth seductive track. The one thing TITAN has is the sound that brings back elements of the late seventies lush background vocals.
I feel the home run ball coming with “When Evening Falls” as it’s just a sensational track which has the essence of George Michael vocals and melodic dreams. I would say “One More Night” has some pop with a heavy dose of flawless vocals and great lyrics. The song has that mesmerizing beat that is catchy and will be a fan favorite. This is a killer band that should reach great heights as musically and vocally the band has what it takes.
