Lionville - A World Of Fools

Press release:

 

BREAKING NEWS: Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of LIONVILLE’s third album, “A World Of Fools” on February 24, 2017.

Born as a project dedicated to pure AOR with a touch of Westcoast and melodic rock, LIONVILLE draw musical inspiration from acts like Toto,Richard Marx, Giant, Bad English, Survivor Band, and Boulevard. The band was started by Stefano Lionetti, a songwriter, singer, and guitarist based in Genova, Italy and his brother Alessandro. After years of playing the local club circuit of Genova, Stefano formed LIONVILLE with the encouragement and help of Pierpaolo “Zorro” Monti (Shining Line) and Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline, Revolution Saints, Ted Poley, etc.). With the involvement of singer Lars Säfsund (Work of Art), LIONVILLE quickly took shape and became something very near and dear to everyone involved.

With two critically acclaimed releases - which came out in 2011 and 2012 – Lionville managed to find their place in the European melodic rock scene while also appearing at Firefest in Nottingham in 2012. With their combination of rockin’ AOR tunes and classic Westcoast AOR sounds, Lionville piqued the interest of Frontiers, who signed the band in early 2016.

“It’s a very important record for LIONVILLE, since we are coming back after four years of silence,” says Stefano Lionetti. “I really wanted to make happy all the fans who waited so long for it. As a producer and songwriter I have done my best to create a high class record, but with the right variety. You will find classic Melodic Rock songs, a couple of ballads, songs in the style of the previous record and of course a lot of attention on the arrangements. I also wanted to have more of a band feel with this record and I am very proud of the final result.”

“These songs have been fun to sing and they’re really good,” adds Lars Safsund.

Recorded by a gifted cast of experienced studio cats and upcoming talents and produced by Stefano Lionetti, the new album, “A World Of Fools” finds a winning combination of very strong songwriting (courtesy also of Robert Sall, Alessandro Del Vecchio, Bruce Gaitsch, Soren Kronkvist, Gianluca Firmo, Thomas Vikstrom, and Ida West) and stellar musical performances, crowned by impressive lead vocals and an album mix that gives space to all the significant little details.

The LIONVILLE team has high hopes that people will embrace their vision of a reinvigorated musical genre and everyone is looking forward to continuing the LIONVILLE story with another awesome contribution to melodic rock music.

First two are awesome, third one should be too

[gener8tr]

LOVE IT!

[Doggy]

BRING IT ON !!!

[Geoff]

Good news like this pleases me. A bit of an "under the radar" band, kind of, who have released two gems so far and I expect this will be more of the same. Cannot wait. Very exciting.

[Stefan]

Great song!

 

[zacharyamelie]

Awesome!

 

I love them, but I always thought Lionville was a notch below Work Of Art, but this track is up there.

[Jez]

Very nice

[kourosofsteel3]

The beast is back!

 

Now somebody please reissue on Vinyl "In Progress" + "Artwork".

[The Rocker]

Nice!

[Glen]

From the EPK it just sounds like a new WoA album....big step up.

[Geoff]

Great song!

 

 

Absolutely splendid. Yes, there is indeed a bit more urgency to the guitar work this time around. As noted, absolute dead ringer for WOA... which is a good thing.

[Mr.AOR]

AWESOME!!! Lars Safsund could sing the phone book and i would listen AWESOME VOCALIST..

[Dead Planet]

Decent...

[ColdFrixion]

Very listenable.

[Nightrain]

This Lars dude is really amazing, hopefully he has a prosperous career and can convert his talent into a decent amount of fortune.

Worth the wait and one good candidate to be a 2017 top tenners !

[Stefan]

[Geoff]

[Y&TForever]

I'm late to the party on Lionville, but LOVE WoA, so I just bought the first 2 off eBay and pre-ordered the new one on NEH. Looking forward to sinking myself into all 3!

[Glen]
