Life on Itunes

Life is the brainchild of, and labour of love for, 21 Guns bassist/keyboard player Leif Johansen, and from moment one raises questions both of the record label involved & the wider melodic rock scene. "White Flowers" is a collection of songs crafted around mood, subtle shifts in rhythmic patterns, layers of texture and melodies that insinuate and weave their spell about the listener as opposed to cracking them over the cranium.This is music for the Peter Gabriel, Sting audience, the Chris Issak devotee, the Kate Bush acolyte and those familiar with the jazz nuances of Steely Dan, the latter especially on "Hogtied" where Johansen's voice is a
less world weary Donald Fagen. The title track leads the way into the album, and is part Steely Dan, part Kip Winger, with a touch of Bobby Kimball in Johansen's delivery. "Til daylight" is veined with the tight intimacy every critic pretends David Gray demonstrates, Johansen's superb vocal supported by keyboard figures straight
out of the Stones songbook next to "Fool to Cry", while the percussive edge of "The Devil wears white" would marry well with the cinematography of Robert Rodriguez.
