Vitalines is a new Melodic Rock alliance formed by two real luminaries of the genre. On one side, the “voice from heaven” Robbie LaBlanc, singer of Blanc Faces and Find Me, who has also recently appeared on the T3nors’ debut album, Naked Souls. On the other, one of the most esteemed and capable songwriters and musicians of the genre, Swedish studio wizard Tommy Denander.
Vitalines have set to release their debut album “Wheels Within Wheels” on October 20th, 2023, via Frontiers Music.
“Robbie LaBlanc has been at the top of my wish list of amazing singers to work with for a long time so when this great idea came from Frontiers I was beyond thrilled to create something really strong and hopefully the start of many more albums”, explains Tommy Denander. “Vitalines means ‘life lines’ and both me and Robbie share a long life of living with sincere passion for music and that comes together on a very mutual ground when we work together”.
Robbie LaBlanc shares: “A big thank you to Frontiers Records for allowing me to record this great record with Tommy. I hope all of you enjoy it. God bless you all”.
The two musicians have been planning to work together on a pure Melodic Rock album for several years and when the right time came, both took immediately the chance to build up another exciting musical alliance. The bar was set very high and the result is the fantastic “Wheels Within Wheels”: an amazing journey between melodies, guitar riffs, superb keys and spectacular vocals.
All the Toto, Journey, Survivor and Foreigner fans will find something to love on this album as Tommy outdid himself especially for the superb level of songwriting, while Robbie probably delivered his best vocal performance ever.
Simply an absolute must for all AOR fans and one of the musical highlights of the entire season!
