| MICHAEL ADDISON NEW ALBUM "BLINDING SHADOWS" OUT OCTOBER 2:
Michael Addison is set to release his first full-length album Blinding Shadows
on October 2nd, 2012. Reeling from the success he garnered from his
last EP "Always You" and the single of the same name, he hit the studio
with producer Larry Marciano at the helm, to create a truly
powerful rock album that magnifies Addison's talent for rock
arrangements. Addison returned to the studio with the same team from his
previous go-round. Christine Wu (Justin Timberlake/Usher) and Ryan
Hoyle (Collective Soul), as well as newcomers, vocalist's Adam Brooks
(of TV's "The Lying Game" and the band The Good Mad) and Vanessa Bryan
each exhibit exceptional contributions. The 13-tracks that make up
"Blinding Shadows" are full of a raw hard-rock energy, intense vocals
layered over building drums and invigorating electric guitar solos,
leaving Addison exposed and explosive with this heavy new direction.
Addison tackles a huge sound with dedication and an ear for honesty.
There is no doubt that "Blinding Shadows" pushes Addison to greater
heights as an artist and songwriter, making this his best collection of
songs to date!
The radio ready first single, "Alone" is a
song of desperation, the dark undertones contrast wildly to the tingling
pop of the guitar and the understated flow of his vocals, amplified by
the driving drum beats. The hook of the chorus draws the listener in,
leaving them captivated by the story and moving to the lush and colorful
sounds that are drawn together perfectly through the harmonic highs and
lows. "Never Look Back" is the quintessential rock sound that defines
this album, with brash drums and a rousing chorus, it hits hard from the
very first second and continues to build. The electric guitar solo
shines, one of many throughout an album built on solid rock tracks, and
the harmonic choruses featuring Adam Brooks are enticingly crafted and
all together aurally pleasing. The rock sound gets heavier on "Tell Me
Lies," where Addison uses the lowest range of his voice to express the
dark emotions alluded to in the hauntingly sad lyrics. It's a raw and
sparse song, highlighted by a brash chorus and a grungy guitar, all
coming together in a volcanic melodic climax. Shining brightly on this
track is Vanessa Bryan's pristine vocals adding a new dimension of
hopelessness, making for an exceptionally beautiful yet deep rock track.
"You Tonight" sets itself apart from the rock-heavy sound, a bounce in
the uplifting chorus and a positive shift in the lyrics, it harkens back
to what people loved from Addison's debut. One of few love songs on the
album, it solidifies that Addison's songwriting has grown with this
solid pop-esque song that's enriched with a rock edge.
The final track on the album is a remixed version of the fan favorite
"Always You" off of Addison's debut album, it has just enough of the new
sound within to make it fit with the flow of "Blinding Shadows".
The inclusion of this final song is a testament to the growth Addison
has experienced and the ways in which he's carried it into his new
sound.
"Blinding Shadows" is a stellar release that fans and critics will love. "Blinding Shadows" will be released on October 2.
