CHINA - We Are The Stars (2013)

Veteran Melodic Rock aficionados surely remember CHINA, the Swiss combo who released their first two superbly AOR infused albums from the end of
the '80s. The band remained active since then, with several recordings
under their belt and touring Europe.
"We Are The Stars" is China's new effort out on the streets today, November 8th.

China always have been the most 'Scandinavian sounding' outfit from
Switzerland, rich in melodies, keys and catchy choruses. However, the
last studio album was quite modern-rock oriented, honestly, not much
impressive material to boot.
Good news are China is back to their Melodic Rock roots on "We Are The Stars".
Only singer (and main force behind the group) Eric St. Michaels remains
from the very early years, backed up by young skilled musicians which
have injected new blood to the band's delivery of updated Euro Melodic
Rock sounds.
Gone are the AORish synths, but all the new tunes are strongly focused on melodic refrains, sharp guitars and bouncy rhythms.

China 2013 has a foot firmly planted in the new wave of Scandinavian
Melodic Rock, not only from Sweden, but also Denmark. Novak, Push
(Denmark), China's countrymen Shakra, Mike Tramp, Mikael Erlandsson and
Jimmy Martin recent works are good points of reference about the music
packed in "We Are The Stars".

Catchy, guitar driven rockers such "Crazy Like You", the jumpin' title
track "We Are The Stars", "Kisses On Fire" or the modern "Inside Out"
are mixed with semi-midtempo melodic rock numbers like the groovy
"That's A Lot Of Love" and the vocally layered "Everywhere You Are" .
"Breakdown" starts slowly but then turns into the more hard rocking
piece of the disc, while there's nice ballads in the gently "Remember My
Name" and the intimate, atmospheric "Circles In The Sky".

China has returned to Melodic Rock on "We Are The Stars", sounding quite modern for the genre but with solid songs and melodies.
Chief Eric St. Michaels has been around the block for while, and he
knows what this business is all about. This new China disc offers the
necessary ingredients to appeal old fans and new generations of
listeners. There's a tight musicianship on display in this album, helped
by a crisp production shaped with the new Scandi-school in mind.
