But because of that one song her name
became familiar in the Melodic Rock Scene. After that debut the album 'Beyond
The Pale' followed in 1986. One year later she acted in the movie 'Hearts
Of Fire' next to Bob Dylan. She played the role of Molly McGuire and
contributed the song 'Hearts Of Fire' and four more yet unreleased
songs for the movie soundtrack. |
Vic and Tommy's music is best described as fluent, unexiting Mainstream melodies, taking care for the right entertainment for those beyond 30. The point is only, that this straight musical mainstream risks to drown within the ocian of our current music landscape due to ignorance. On the other side, Vic's and also Fiona's music is paradoxly exactly what you call radio friendly. The question is only in how far this ignorance of broadcasters goes or not. In each case, Vic Heart has deserved some attention. And mind me, he doesn't look bad either, does he. And as we all know, the eyes is also eating from the cake not only the ears :-) |
Unfortunately
it's only five Songs as I mentioned before, what we get here. But well -
better this than nothing.... http://vicheart.com/ ...And Fiona comes on 15 minutes later to continue, what Vic had started off..... |
My first thought is, how good she's still looking after all these years. She certainly doesn't look her age and comes across very nice, trying to communicate with the Hard Rock Cafe guest here, which ain't that easy. Because those have to get first a little familiar, whith what they are suddenly getting here. However it get's quiet soon, when Fiona starts off with the help of Tommy Denander and als Vic Heart to introduce us with her new album and with her music in generell. And that's what she does with ‚Loved Along The Way’, ‚Broken’ und ‚I’ve Released You’. This is followed by ‚It’s All Over/’Hearts On Fire’ and of course last but not least her hitsingle from back then ‚Talk To Me'.

Well let's put it that way, this woman has got a great voice, that's for sure. On the other hand, because of not beeing active for such a long time, this voice is surely a bit out of practice and needs some oil in the engine, if you know what I mean by that. And of course there is this nervousity in the beginning, as I mentioned before. But I'm pretty sure, when Fiona goes out now, doing lots more of shows and singing, she will be the same like back then. |
Only one thing I wanna criticice here, and that's the fact, that there is no new album of her available tonight. Some people actually do ask for it after show. Shame, as she could have sold quite a few tonight here in Munich. However, it was worthwile an experience. And hopefully with her new start and the new album 'Unbroken' she will experience, what we call a second spring, and if it's only a nice dejavu of 'Talk To Me' http://www.fionarock.com/ |
