LOS ANGELES

 

Frontiers Records (Zink Music/Bonnier Amigo) is pleased to announce the release of LOS ANGELES featuring Michele Luppi on July 6th 2007!

 

LOS ANGELES presents the shining talents of Michele Luppi: an Italian amazing singer who cut his teeth at the VIT Los Angeles, with Robin Randall (co-writer of hits for FM, Mark Free, James Christian etc) as one of his musical coaches.

Upon his return to Italy, he gathered considerable experience having the opportunity to sing alongside some of the most important national and international artists, including: Maurizio Solieri, Andrea Braido, Umberto Tozzi, Glenn Hughes and Ian Paice of Deep Purple. 

 

Strong in a singing style, which has become unique, Michele started teaching with some of the most important Italian music schools and at the same time started a massive live work with his band MR. PIG, later joining the Italian Progressive Metal masters VISION DIVINE.

 

LOS ANGELES is Luppi's personal tribute to the AOR greats that shaped his singing and songwriting abilities and also features Fabrizio Grossi, Tommy Denander, Frankie De Grasso with Gregg Giuffria (HOUSE OF LORDS) appearing as special guest on keyboards. "It is a dream come true to have one of my greatest musical heroes, Gregg Giuffria, guesting on the album" states Michele "I used to have his poster stuck on my bedroom walls and now he plays on my record… I can't believe it"

 

About the music and the songs Michele says: "This kind of music gave me the desire to become a pro-musician, the one that got stuck into my heart in my early days: I'm pretty sure it's gonna stay there forever. I think the songs turned out heavier compared to the originals; we all made efforts in order to make the tunes sound "fresh". I put all my passion and strength in this project".

 

While Luppi's astounding vocals can be described as Mark Free meets Eric Martin and songs supplied by the likes of Richard Marx, Jeff Paris and Dennis Matkovsky (among others), LOS ANGELES is a true AOR beauty. "I hope more people will listen to my songs and share the beauty of this "branch of Rock" called AOR" concludes Luppi, adding "AOR is beauty within Rock Music and I'm truly honoured to be part of it!"

 

Tracklisting of LOS ANGELES includes the following tracks: I Will Carry You; I Must Be Blind; Thanks To You; Edge of Forever; Last Chance; Run; When You Think Of Me; One More Try; The Other Side; Caroline; Measure Of A Man.
