One of the only times I will ever say I don't like the gang background vocals.

I like this song, no issue with the GV. What don't you like?

I see no issue either. The song's really good. Love his voice.

That's actually a pretty cool song. Better than his previous bands for sure. I gotta agree with Auslander, though. Something a bit off-putting about those backing vocals. Some are nice, but particularly the ones at the start of the chorus are, as I said, "off-putting." 

I've had lukewarm reactions to backing vocals in the past, though, and sometimes I get past it. Hopefully this is one of those occasions?

[Tabe]

I'm digging this song.  Good stuff.  Background vocals don't bother me at all here.

[Stefan]

New song 'Heat Of The Night'.

Liked both Desperado Odyssey & Hideaway so i'll give this a go...like both tracks but prefer the 2nd

[Geoff]

Well this album's really quite good, isn't it? The ballad, 'How to love' is a bit of a skip, but the rest of the album is all very good. Favourite track is this one-

But overall, it's a really good melodic rock album. Should appeal to plenty of folk here, I dare say. 

[Mr.AOR]

Yep, good album.

[lettard]

Yeah enjoyed this one,a nice listen

City Of Lights are working on a new album.

In the meantime, more songs from their debut.
