Review: “Tommy Palmer from California has an awesome voice, comparable to Steve Perry, Dave Baldwin, Timothy Lewis… and has released a great soft AOR/Poprock album. The vocals, hooks and harmonies in all the songs on the album are simply beautiful and from a very high level. Also the production is very impressive, so nothing stands in your way to check out this wonderful release. The best song of the whole album is definitely "Listen to my heart". This song has some beautiful 80s AOR based piano/keys and also finally has the electric guitar pushed up to the front. The song itself is a classy superb 80s Power AOR ballad a la Journey/Bad English. If Tommy would make some more of such songs and add some rockers with more electric guitars, then we can easily speak of the new AOR sensation.” Gabor Kleinbloesem
