Description/Reviews:
This new album sees Lappo double-down on his pop rock leanings, with hefty synth-pop and prog influences to keep listeners on their toes. The album starts with the tenacious AOR-tinged “Neverending Storm” - a nod to Lappo’s prior prog metal leanings. In contrast, the floaty synthwave of “Last of Her Kind” and the disco swagger of “Creature Comforts” embody Lappo's love of pop music. With this new album, Lappo reaches new highs vocally - both figuratively and literally. On “Move On” his voice seamlessly hops between a soothing baritone and a soaring falsetto, while on "New Lines" he delivers an anthemic chorus bound to thrill any rock fan. Songs like "My World on Pause" and "Monochrome" combine glistening pop rock choruses with playful dueling piano and guitar solos. Lappo shows off his compositional finesse elsewhere with tracks like the cinematic “Out of Touch” and the luminous album closer “No Cloud”. As a whole, Abandoned Corners is an eclectic and delightful listen.
