Guitarist and lead singer Paul Stanley stays true to the hard rock sound of KISS but stretches himself vocally and musically with a powerfully melodic and melodramatic album. Guitarist Bob Kulick's on point lead work elevates the material that lyrically dwells on the pain of separation and frustrated romantic love. Using Ebows, synths, piano and background singers as tasty accents and flourishes Stanley produces an album that combines influences from bands like The Rolling Stones, The Raspberries, & Led Zeppelin with nods to classical music & rhythm and blues, and features his first true ballad.
