Le chanteur norvégien a réuni une sélection de chansons de sa carrière solo, en versions réarrangées :
Frontiers Records will release of a very special album from Norwegian hard rock singer Jorn Lande entitled "Symphonic" on January 25 in Europe and January 22 in North America.
"Symphonic" is not a proper new album, but rather a selection of tracks taken from Jorn's previous studio releases, which have been carefully selected by the Norwegian singer himself and painstakingly remixed in order to add a grandiose classical orchestra arrangement to the existing hard rock structure.
"I didn't want to choose the most obvious Jorn songs, as I didn't want this album to come out as a typical 'best-of' release," explains the former MASTERPLAN frontman. "Some songs that are not too typical in a Jorn context, were chosen simply because some great songs often tend to be forgotten and therefore deserve a second chance."
Tracks like "I Came to Rock", "Burn Your Flame" and "Behind The Clown" are presented in a very intriguing and different new dressing, which enhances the variety and depth of Jorn's classic songwriting and performance style. In Jorn's words: "'I Came To Rock' might now even remind the listener of a Broadway musical, not coming from a heavy rock band like Jorn. The new version of 'Behind The Clown' shows how much as a young boy I have been fascinated by Kate Bush. 'Burn Your Flame' instead came out really fresh and different, compared to the original version on 'Spirit Black' from 2009." "Symphonic" also includes a previously unreleased track: a cover version of DIO's "Rock And Roll Children".
"I hope you will enjoy the album and maybe you will even rediscover some songs you had forgotten…" concludes Jorn.
