Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce that ‘So Close To Heaven’, the fifth album by Italian melodic rockers Lionville, will be released on 11th February 2022. A first single and video from it entitled ‘Cross My Heart’ is available from today.
Lionville are held in high regard by AOR fans worldwide and this new record will further cement their standing as one of the premiere acts in the melodic genre. Among many highlights, it includes a duet between vocalist Lars Safsund and guest singer Robbie LaBlanc on ‘This Time’, plus a cover of ‘Arrow Through My Heart’, a song that was written by Richard Marx, Bruce Gaitsch and Fee Waybill during the sessions that produced Marx’s 1989 album smash ‘Repeat Offender’.
Lionville was founded in 2010 by singer, songwriter and guitarist Stefano Lionetti (initially with his brother Alessandro), with Lars Säfsund (Work Of Art, Enbound) soon enlisted as lead vocalist. Following two indie efforts, the group signed to Frontiers and a further brace of highly praised albums, ‘A World Of Fools’ (2017) and ‘Magic Is Alive’ (2020), have resulted in them becoming one of the best loved acts on the label’s roster.
‘So Close To Heaven’ showcases Lionville’s winning combination of strong songwriting, stellar musicianship and – of course – superb singing. It is a must hear for all fans of AOR/melodic rock.
