- -- Release notes ---------------------------------------------------- -- -
"Can't Stop" is a very special album for ISSA, since it
includes some blistering versions of carefully selected hidden
AOR gems that the singer treats her own way. These tracks have
been originally included on albums by Mark Free, Aviator, 21
Guns, Atlantic, Regatta, Worrall, Blvd, Tower City and other
AOR luminaries.
Issa has created her own style and approach to Melodic Rock by
mixing her peculiar and unique melodic sensibility with a
rocking attitude which is unseen in today's Pop singers: real
rock with a commercial sheen. These reworkings show how Issa
is at ease when working on classic AOR musical material.
"Serafino at Frontiers came up with the concept of me
recording an album of some loved and cult melodic rock songs
and sent me through the song choices" says Issa "Some I was
familiar with, like Tower City's "Surrender" and Mark Free's
"State of Love", but several others were new to me. I thought
the songs that suited me best are "Just a Wish" and "These
Eyes" originally recorded by 21 Guns. They have nice
structures and ballad like intros that build to a big chorus.
Can't Stop is a great rocker too and I love the melodies and
lyrics in the Tower City track".
Issa versions of these amazing tracks ooze class and update to
the modern day some truly immortal melodies with some
masterful arrangements provided by producer Alessandro
Delvecchio (Hardline). Since her debut "Sign of Angels", Issa
has often been compared to such music stars as Celine Dion,
Avril Lavigne and Amy Lee (Evanescence). Though she is now
ready to take her legitimate place in between the great AOR
chanteuses such as Ann Wilson and Robin Beck. "Can't Stop"
shows that Issa is a solid Rock Music star and a true uprising
Rock diva, who is set to alight hearts and minds of Melodic
Rock fans for the years to come.
