Des covers de hard rock au programme, mais pas uniquement, pour preuve le premier extrait est une reprise de Frida (ABBA) :
Jorn's new album, Heavy Rock Radio, is due for release on June 3rd. A music video for the album’s lead track, “I Know There's Something Going On”, a cover of the hit from ABBA star Frida, can be seen below:
Heavy Rock Radio is not an ordinary album of cover songs, it is truly a songbook of hits. Featured - among others - are great versions of the Eagles' "Hotel California" and Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill", they all get the Jorn style treatment and become powerful and epic, without losing their commercial touch. More great classics included are John Farnham's "You're The Voice", Queen's "Killer Queen", and two absolute melodic rock evergreen gems in Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" and Foreigner's "Rev On The Red Line".
The original concept of the album was to create a jukebox of radio hits, but to avoid leaning too much on the pop side of rock, Jorn decided to blend the tracklisting with a few more up tempo rock tracks as well, such as "The Final Frontier" by Iron Maiden ("probably the closest you get to anything commercial with Iron Maiden," says Jorn), "Live To Win" by Paul Stanley (a song which was also featured on the popular television series South Park), and a few hard rock classics show up as well such as Deep Purple ("Stormbringer"), Dio ("Rainbow In The Dark") and Black Sabbath ("Die Young") to complete the mix.
The title Heavy Rock Radio came quite naturally, as the sound of this album feels like it's tailor made for any rock radio station. This record is a special treat for all the fans, while waiting for the new original album, which is being worked on at the moment.
