Bio:
Secret is a new Melodic Rock project born in Murcia (Spain) in 2012.Their components are Jesus Espin (vocalist of 91 Suite) and Ivan Gonzalez (guitarist of 91 Suite), They decided to join in order to have a good time making music they like. From there a number of songs and the idea emerge in an album. Finally, the project is realized under the name of Secret and the album titled The End Of The Road.Almost ten years after their debut album ”The End of The Road”, Secret returns with their sophomore release ”Stop This World” but wait a minute....Secret who? If you´re into AOR you might be familiar with Spanish band 91 Suite and Secret are a duo featuring 91 Suite´s lead singer Espin and guitarist Gonzalez. All vocals are handled by Espin while all instruments and production is credited Gonzalez, soundwise Secret is a step away from 91 Suite which makes sense because it wouldn´t be any point in releasing traditional AOR in the same vein as 91 Suite under another name.”Stop This World” is a really good album that sounds positive and well-crafted, I really think this Spanish duo has found a winning recipe with a blend of pop/rock and country flavored AOR. It´s a surprise to hear a cover of Roxette´s hit ”Dressed For Success” and they do it very well but I prefer Secret´s original songs like ”Until it´s over”, ”Where Do We Go From Here” and ”New Life”. Overall, an album of both upbeat songs and ballads that reminds a bit of Richard Marx but the music is mostly for fans of 7th Heaven, Jon Bon Jovi and Whale City. Thumbs up for the warm production.
Album:
Almost ten years after their debut album, melodic rockers SECRET returns with their sophomore release ”Stop This World”. Maybe this group is new to some people, but if you’re into classic Melodic / AOR you might be familiar with Spanish band 91 SUITE, and Secret are a duo featuring that excellent band lead singer Jesus Espin and guitarist Ivan Gonzalez (also RAINTIMES, ARGI).On ”Stop This World” all vocals are handled by Espin while all instruments and production are credited to Gonzalez. Soundwise Secret is a bit more modern and guitar based than the sweet AOR of 91 SUITE which makes sense because it wouldn’t be any point in releasing new music in the same vein under another name.”Stop This World” is a really good album that a positive feel-good vibe and well-crafted arrangements, I really think this Spanish duo has found a winning recipe with a blend of modern melodic rock & catchy flavored lite AOR / rock&pop.It’s a surprise to hear a cover of Roxette´s hit ”Dressed For Success” and they do it very well, however it’s Secret’s original songs like ”Until it’s over”, ”Where Do We Go From Here” and ”New Life” which really makes this album really enjoyable.Overall, a very pleasing second SECRET album containing both upbeat songs and ballads that reminds a bit of Richard Marx but the music is mostly for fans of 7th Heaven, Jon Bon Jovi, Waltham, etc. Thumbs up for the warm production.
