A Michael Bolton review on Powerofmetal.dk might not be the most obvious of things, but as it happens this new album is released by Frontiers Records S.r.l., so we received it… and here goes nothing!
As the album title gives away, all the songs are from film music from movies like The Bodyguard, Stand by Me, Ray, Risky Business, The Wizard of Oz and Casablanca. Musically it is quite remote from our normal sound universe, and I am not sure many of our regular readers will even bother to read this review.
But should you or your girl-/boyfriend have a soft spot for soft rock and Michael Bolton then this might be of interest to you. I won’t pass judgement on this release, since it’s simply too far from our core audiences preferences… so make your own call on this release.

Best metal release of 2017 so far. Bit disappointed there wasn’t at least an attempted review at a few of the songs, or an overall impression.
