An exciting new AOR music star is born: Swedish singer Angelica Rylin (The Murder of My Sweet) has decided to pursue her childhood dream and record a Melodic Rock album! Her Murder of My Sweet bandmate and partner in crime, Daniel Flores assisted her on the production which has yielded a superb final result. "I always wanted to record an album like this" says Angelica, 'my childhood heroes were Robin Beck, Ann Wilson of Heart and Leigh Matty of Romeo's Daughter'.Some Melodic Rock songwriting luminaries worked diligently with Angelica to create the magic harmonies and music that will be displayed on her debut album. "Harry Hess, Daniel Flores, Robert Sall, Alessandro Del Vecchio and Anders Wigelius all contributed," continues Angelica and some excellent guitarists such as Jesper Stromblad (In Flames), Magnus Karlsson (Primal Fear), Per Berquist (Smash Into Pieces) also appear on the album. There is also a very special performance by keyboardist Matt Guillory (James LaBrie). Angelica wrote or co-wrote several songs on her record showing yet another side of her artistic abilities.'This being my first solo record, I now have the chance to show you another side of me. This is the next chapter, I hope you'll follow!' concludes Angelica.

Wow!! I'm Hooked...
I really think this is a solid solo effort from the "Murder of my Sweet" vocalist. I was extremely impressed by the melodies and her ability to execute each song with a charismatic confident approach. Wow!! I'm hooked...

Truly Fantastic!!!
Angelica Rylin is the lead vocalists for the symphonic metal band (The Murder Of My Sweet).Although this review is of Angelica's album "Thrive", I highly recommend the album's "Bye Bye Lullaby", and "Divanity", both of which are by The Murder Of My Sweet, and are truly amazing!As a loyal subscriber to the frontier records Facebook and YouTube pages, I am privy to announcements of upcoming releases. A few months back I watched an interview with Angelica , who was enthusiastically talking about her new album "Thrive", and the single from the album "Breaking My Heart". This song played in the background of the interview, and it sounded like it was going to be fantastic. When the video was released a few weeks ago, and I was able to hear the song in its entirety, I was not disappointed, as it exceeded my expectations!Upon hearing "Thrive" I was blown away by Angelica's performance, as it's stellar! The musicians featured on the album are equally as impressive, in terms of their intensity. "Thrive" differs from Angelica's material with The Murder Of My Sweet, in that "thrive" is more of a power/pop/rock album, as opposed to symphonic metal. She makes the transition in styles seamless however, and every track on "Thrive" is perfect in its own way.In addition to "Breaking My Heart", other standout tracks for me are "Can't Stop, "Riding Out The Storm", "Lovers In Paradise", "This Kiss Is Just For You", and "Take Me To Your Heart".Angelica's "Thrive" can be summed up as a phenomenal rock experience!I highly recommend this album!

Angelica stands alone
Angelica Rylin has a wonderful voice. I know her best as the vocalist for Gothic metal band The Murder of My Sweet. This solo effort highlight her other interests that aren't so metalic having a melodic and ballad like quality. If you like TMoMS you'll definately like this.

Wasn't looking for it, but great find.
Was looking for some other band when i came across this little gem. I thought the voice was familiar (The murder of my sweet), although a different style and more melodic.Love every song on this CD, the only other CD which recently came out whereby i love every song on it, is the new Place Vendome CD(similar style). I am a recent convertto the more melodic sounding rock music genre, where normally i prefer something with a harder edge. If more and more music of this genre is being produced, then I am all for it.To help more and more of these artists thrive and continue to produce good music, then buy the CD or legitimate legal downloads - otherwise we'll lose them.

Good female voice in search of equal group to front
Angelica has quite the voice, but the compositions and the production are all to similar to each other, and the whole album seems to have been brought forward with Eurovision Song Contest as the target. It's probably not the album for the active listener, but there is a good voice in front of uncomplicated mainstream rock-pop: quite nice as background.

New Discovery.
A really good CD very much towards the melodic metal style that I like. She sings well and I would certainly be more than tempted to buy any future albums she may choose to record.
