Palace - Reckless Heart

[Stefan]

 

 

New album to be released July 12th through Frontiers.

Press release:

PRESENTING ’Reckless Heart,’ the brainchild of Lithuanian-born Swedish artist Michael Palace and the fifth spellbinding chapter in the PALACE saga. This explosive musical journey resurrects the essence of the 1980s, each track pulsating with the potential to score a classic action blockbuster or drive the adrenaline of a training montage.

Inspired by genre-defining icons such as AVIATOR, FM and DARE alongside contemporaries CHEZ KANE and CRAZY LIXX, Michael Palace meticulously rebuilt the PALACE sound from the ground up, returning to the true origins and inspiration of the project. ’Reckless Heart’ is an essential cornerstone in any AOR and melodic rock aficionado’s collection.

“It was time to go back to the roots, as they say, and finally make that true ’80s AOR album that I’ve dreamt of creating since I started PALACE. It’s the missing link between 1985 and 2024,” said Michael.

Michael Palace embarked on his journey with Frontiers as a songwriter and guitarist for various projects such as FIRST SIGNAL, CRY OF DAWN, TOBY HITCHCOCK and KRYPTONITE. These successful collaborations paved the way for a deal with Frontiers, enabling Michael to deliver songs aligned with his vision under the name PALACE. ’Reckless Heart’ marks the fifth release, maintaining a bi-annual album release schedule since 2016. Recently, Michael has produced albums for KENT HILLI and NEVENA and done work across diverse genres while taking on various roles such as a songwriter, musician, producer, and engineer.

Tracks:

1. Reckless Heart
2. The Widow’s Web
3. Back In Your Arms
4. Girl Is An Angel
5. You Give Me A Reason To Live
6. Back To ’85
7. For The Love
8. Turn This Car Around
9. Weightless
10. Move Me
11. Stronger By The Day

I am looking forward to this, I was wondering just a few days ago if Palace was working on anything recently. The album art looks like it was done by the same guy that did the art for the Platinum Overdose albums.

Have enjoyed all his output apart from Binary Music...so i'll give this a goo too  hoping for something in the vein of the debut mixed with a little R'n'R radio.

Never understood why Binary Music wasn't that popular (at least that was what I perceived). It's by far my favourite Palace album. Every songs have killer melodies and a good production.

New video for 'The Widow's Web'.

Me too; very nice 👍 

[lettard]

Yeah like that  

[Crazysam]

I'm liking that first track as well

[Eric3]

Pretty good, upbeat song, if he's trying to channel the 80s with this I'd say he succeeded. There's something "sterile" about the production that I can't quite put my finger on but other than that I like it.

Love that. 

And.

Is it weird to be aroused by a cartoon?

Nope, for a while, I used to think Rapunzel from Tangled (2010) was hot... But then I stopped being attracted to cartoon characters.

I like the album art. I love when contemporary Glam Metal bands have album art with a genuine 80s vibe to it.
