FERGIE FREDERIKSEN- Hapiness is the road

I’m going through a really dark phase right now. Life’s serving me the worst stuff and things won’t be getting any better soon. That’s when albums like ‘’Happiness is the road’’ come in handy. An AOR album to get you through the dark days; yes, dear, an AOR album. I don’t need any doom metal guy telling me life is shit. I know that already. I need someone who’s been on the dark side telling me I can find strength from within, stand up straight and walk on. Try walking in Fergie’s shoes and you’ll see where my point is. He was diagnosed with cancer in the middle of the album’s making and recorded his vocals while still on treatment, making it a very painful and exhausting experience. Yet he found the strength to not give up and today he can be really proud of a beauty of an album, a perfect follow up to 2002’s Mecca album and 2007’s Frederiksen-Denander collaboration. The album is drenched in heartfelt melodies, thoughtful but uplifting lyrics and passionate vocals. There’s a really strong songwriting team behind Fergie’s powerful voice, count Jim Peterik, Dennis Ward, Robert Sall, Mark Baker and others. And Fergie, if you haven’t noticed till now, is one of the finest singers in rock, not as famous as others, but still he belongs to the elite.

I’ll upload some more samples as soon as they are available.
