Leigh Matty is one vocalist i still remember having a crush on when i 1st saw her on MTV in the early days with her debut single " Heaven in the Backseat" which was a song written by fame producer Robert Mutt Lange for Def Leappard, but was turned down by the band only to be picked up by Romeos Daughter, who picked it up and recorded for the Nightmare Of Elm Street 5 soundtrack. The band broke up soon after, after success eluded them in the states. Fast forward to the latter part of this decade and we see a reunion of the original band with a new release "Rapture", the titled taken from a biblical word. I personally think it's a great comeback record. Hearing the intro to the 1st song "Trippin Out" brings to mind the feeling i got when i first heard "Heaven in The Backseat" back in the 80s. The cd is follow by the first single released from the band "Bittersweet" which is a catchy moderate Album Oriented track which i found myself pressing back a few times to hear it over and over. " Cannot be the one" follows next which is a ballad , Leigh Matty's sultry vocals brings out the best of this track, "Keep Walking" starts with a catchy riff and with its catchy chorus, found myself singing to this song soon after. "Lightning" is another slower tempo number which i also enjoy with Leighs sultry vocals, " Alive" which was released as the second single, is a catchy number which starts slow and picks up to a uptempo chorus. I personally think in todays music world i was happy to hear a cd i can fully listened from beginning to end.
