One of the recent claims
made about Jeff Scott Soto is that ‘he is the front man every band
wants to have’, his energy, vocal ability, writing talents
substantiate this claim and are all evident in ‘Lost In The
Translation’, Jeff’s third solo album from Frontiers Records.
He’s definitely THE frontman in melodic rock and in addition to
his entertaining abilities, he KNOWS how to sing! Blending such
diverse influences as Glenn Hughes, Ronnie James Dio, Steve Perry,
Prince, Freddie Mercury and Seal, he can actually perform
everything, from funk and R & B to melodic rock and heavy metal.
Following the release of
Jeff’s Single/EP ‘Believe In Me’ in July 2016, the new album
‘Lost In The Translation’ is a combination of all that is good
about ‘melodic rock’ and hard rock. The mix of pace, ballad,
subtlety and sheer exuberance is enough to have the listener asking
‘Where has Jeff been hiding and where can I get more?’ This
album will please those who like it hard, those who like it slow and
those who like it hot!
Comprising a dozen
wonderful tracks all written by Jeff individually & collectively
with Neal Schon (Journey) on the single ‘Believe In Me’, Howie
Simon and Gary Schutt (JSS Band), the album release coincides with a
30 plus date, 70-day ‘World Tour’ taking in UK, Spain, Brasil,
Belgium, Italy, Holland, France, Germany and Jeff’s first ever
appearances in Australia & Portugal.
Heavier and more “in
your face”, with a purposely live feel in the production, filled
with fire-cracking anthems, crunching melodic rock songs and
magnificent ballads: “Lost In The Translation” is the real and
utmost masterpiece in Soto’s production ever!
From his roots with
Yngwie Malmsteen in 1984, the foundations of Talisman, his work with
Eyes and performances for film soundtracks such as ‘Rock Star’,
Jeff has also performed with Queen and the SAS Band. His
subsequently blossoming
solo career has shown that Jeff Scott Soto has gained a reputation
as one of the classier and more polished Melodic Rock artists
around. Add to that his many collaborations, not the least the most
recent with Neal Schon on the new project Soul SirkUS and this album
represents a new high for Jeff Scott Soto that many believe is long
overdue.
Jeff commented recently
“Finding songs to write about isn’t always easy, but when they
come from the heart, it becomes easier. I hope that the many fans
out there see this album as more than just an album but as part of
my life’s journey.
