Big Life is a new project featuring the unquestionable talents of the UK's melodic rock genius, Steve Newman (Newman) and ex-Praying Mantis frontman Mark Thompson-Smith. While Big Life are a new entity, the talent on show is unbelievable - Seriously, this album rocks big time and, on the second listen, the hooks caught into my brain leaving me feeling like they've always been a big part of your life!

Opener 'Dying Day' is an instant AOR classic! Its keyboard intro and dreamy vocals lead up to a crescendo of a riff! With its fantastic chest-pumping and fist-throwing chorus Big Life show their hand for all to see because, let's be honest, albums like these tend to be one-offs and I honestly hope that is not the case here as each song has WINNING all over it and it would be a shame for the fans of AOR to go without this calibre of music!

Steve Newman has delivered an 80s AOR classic in this new decade and, with Mark Thompson-Smith on board supplying the delicious vocals, this has got to be a winner! With the big riffs, even bigger melodies and soppier ballads, this album cannot fail to hit the right notes with AOR fans worldwide!
