The essence of AOR, depicted through sophisticated melodies and passionate vocals.
Featuring a female vocalist, this album fuses elements of soft rock and hard pop, and features a light and sophisticated arrangement and dramatic melody.
The vocals are powerful yet smooth, meshing beautifully with the band's clear groove. The interplay between guitar and keyboard creates a three-dimensional effect, highlighting the intricacy of the arrangements. The melodies are catchy yet profound, and the rhythm section's steady tempo tightens the overall feel. The balance between rock and pop is excellent, with a light-hearted feel and a definite passion. This highly polished debut album is a prime example of '80s AOR.
