NIVA picture
NIVA is like a Nostalgic time capsule that is coming from the past with at its helm, Mr. Tony Niva, a veteran Hard Rock singer, from mighty Sweden that provides a classy collection of songs, in the strongest, 80s fashion efficiency but in the sweet melodic mood, very much like LAST AUTUMN’S DREAM / CRYSTAL BLUE or early GLORY, with some high profile/up in the frontline keyboards and a few tasty riffage packed with intense and hot lead guitar chops (“Feel So Alone”), Niva is performing some high pitched vocals antics with a great confidence and a perfect working vocal organs at its peak, like a valid mix between Tony Harnell (ex-TNT / WESTWORLD) & Mikael Erlandsson (ex-CRASH / LAD / SALUTE / LOVE UNDER COVER). The music is filled with hooks and highly infectious melodies with that typical special flavor: This sing-along chorus mania reveals an oblivious Swedish catchiness, read more...

Tony Niva used to be a backup singer for the short-lived Scandinavian sleaze sensation, SWEDISH EROTICA, and he recently released a project called OXYGEN last year which I think is a solid melodic rock release too. 'Magnitude' isn't too far off from that one, only I think is better in terms of songwriting.

What you'll get here is a nostalgic trip to the time where bands like TREAT, MASQUERADE, GLORY, or ALIEN ruled the airwaves with their magnificent AOR gems. 'Never Too Late' is stunning but I wasn't blown away until 'Perfect Life'. This cheerful melodic gem is almost flawless, perhaps the second best track here after the uptempo 'Never Say Goodbye' near the end of this album. There's a good mix of ballads and midtempo tunes. I like 'In A Misty Light', at some point, it reminds me of BON JOVI's old ballad. 'I Feel So Alone' is a nice power ballad too.

'My First And Only One' and 'Always Somewhere' are two bigger uptempo tracks here and 'Spanish Lullaby' perhaps the weakest track. Production is very good and replay value is very high although I'm afraid it'll be quite samey after 4-5 spins. The whole album is enjoyable if you dig easy-listening stuffs and classic Scandi-AOR.
