I like it when a artist leaves the sound for which he or she has become so well known for. You cannot know what comes around and how a particular musician sounds in a different environment.
This time Mick Michaels, guitarist of Traditional Metallers Corners Of Sanctuary has opened up a solo project called Starlight. It goes into some sort of Retro Rock sound also some surprisingly rough elements shine through (check the vocals on "I don't want to go").
“About six years ago, a friend and mentor suggested I try my hand at something other than Heavy Metal,” said Michaels. “He even suggested I do the singing…which I considered for a second but felt it wasn’t what would be completely best for this project. Bringing others into the fold would be the direction it would have to take to get it off the ground.”
With the help of an industry contact, Michaels recruited unknown singer and violinist, Taryn Dorothy, for lead vocals and also enlisted Corners of Sanctuary bandmate and drummer Mad T to supply the back beat, with Michaels providing guitars, bass and keyboards.
“Taryn’s voice adds so much diversity and depth to the songs…each track took on a new flavor once her vocals were added,” said Michaels.
Starlight’s “Under the Radar” will be available February 12th 2021 on multiple digital platforms including: iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, Google Music, Amazon among many others.
