Loved the first album. The cast of singers was perfect for the storyline. I hope they bring back Goran Edman for a song or two, he contributed a bender of a song along with the Wig-Wam singer. Looking forward to this.

Wow...I loved Andi's voice in Silent Call... he sounds great here with Elize... I like this...

Wow...I loved Andi's voice in Silent Call... he sounds great here with Elize... I like this...

Andi is a great singer, but he's one of those who I think needs good songwriting around him to shine. His sense of melody is often very subtle, but when singing other writer's material he comes across FANTASTIC. A lot of folks only think of Tommy when talking about Seventh Wonder, but the debut disc with Andi on vocals was ALSO excellent.

This is an awesome list of singers, for sure. Very interested.
