First Signal (Harry Hess) new album coming soon

[Geoff]

I'm not thrilled about the ADV thing either, but I do like that song. I definitely agree that the vocal melodies could be a little more, shall we say, "lively?" But it's a cool tune. 

[zacharyamelie]

Well that was boring. Awful chorus, decent solo. 

[Glen]

Hess sounds great but the song is confused structurally and the chorus is shite.

ADV strikes again

 

[heavyharmonies]

Meh.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

I'm so ready to shit all over ADV--you all know this!--but do we know for sure this is one of his songs?

[tobi is an animal]

not even Harry can save that song; bland, boring and generic sounds like someone adv'd it.

just checked, looks co written, but his name is first 😒

You know, I'm beginning to wonder just how many pieces of songs Frontiers has lying around, waiting to be put together in some random order. We're in a time when everything is digitalized and you could theoretically slap together an album in very short order. That's exactly the impression I've been getting lately with all these bland, cookie-cutter songs they've been putting out. You can't convince me that that verse, chorus, and vocal melody were all written at the same time by the same person.

Press release from Daniel Flores:

Michael Palace on guitars, Jonny Trobro on Bass and Introducing the amazing Andi Kravljaca on guitars (Yes the singer) who plays on half of the songs along with Palace .Again, all songs were written by the great Alessandro (No sleep) del Vecchio! truly outstanding delivery by Ale!

This gave the game away when Stefan posted it in the summer as regards to who wrote not just the song but the entire album

Typical ADV tripe. I'm really getting sick of that motherfucker writing every song on every Frontiers release. Enough already!

exactly my thoughts, the song sounds weird and disjointed

Oh, ok. Because the latest write-up suggests the songwriting was handled by multiple parties. 

[melodicrock]

That's the limpest thing I've ever heard Harry sing.

[Mr.AOR]

Really disappointed with that.

[Scorp2121]

I pretty  much love everything Harry is part of but this is brutal

[The Rocker]

I just don't get the obsession with ADV from Frontiers, I really really don't.

[tobi is an animal]

Is it the less than going rate he charges of 50 cents per song? 

I get why they do it because it's not gonna make much of a difference in sales in the long run.  If Harry wrote/produced every song for the First Signal project it would be much much better obviously; but how many more copies would it actually sell?  Plus it's best served for Harry to concentrate his writing/producing efforts on Harem Scarem. 

I really don't know how frontiers makes money; if an album on average sells 500 copies and has 300,000 total streams how much of a profit is that?  But having ADV involved in some compacity on 75% of their releases probably keeps costs down. 

And then you have albums like Issa - Queen of Broken Hearts, would that even sell 100 copies, and it's barley hit 100,000 streams on spotify.   

I personally think it's complete waste of time all these adv albums, the guy basically has one song template that he repeats over and over again.  It's actually become quite hilarious and a complete joke at this point.  I wouldn't even want writers I actually like writing and releasing this much.  Of the 60 albums Frontiers will release this year I'll probably only be buying the new Harem Scarem.

New song 'Show Me The Way'.

Infinitely better than the first song.

[tobi is an animal]

Lackluster, sounds like a leftover from that recently released dull find me album.  Did Harry need a little nudge after falling asleep at the mic singing this sleep inducing drivel.

[Eric3]

Wow, another ADV song with bland vocal melodies, no dynamics between the verse and chorus, and absolutely no replay value.

Shocker.

[J.S.M]

I actually like the chorus, there's a bit more movement than in the rest of the song. Everything else is as boring as the first single. Pretty sad... in the last weeks I listened to their first two albums on repeat and they are so strong.

[Mr.AOR]

Better than the first but still not great.

[AlphaMale]

Man that isn't much better than the first song. 

This disappoints me greatly. Fuck you ADV!! You suck bro!!
