Thorbjørn Risager - Change My Game [CD]

2017 release. Talk about a tough act to follow. Back in 2014, Thorbjorn Risager & The Black Tornado released Too Many Roads, the award-winning ninth album that saw the golden-voiced frontman and his seven-piece lineup showered with global acclaim. For the fans who had followed the Copenhagen band since their formation in 2003, it felt like a career-best release. But we were wrong. With Change My Game, Thorbjorn has raised the stakes once again. In a world where most bands are content to tread water, here's an album that breaks new creative ground, explores fresh musical directions and delivers a bold batch of songs that are at once catchy and immediate, but rich with deeper meaning. Change My Game is not just an album title, but also the guiding ethos that has driven this band from the start. Since making their first impact with 2006's From The Heart, Thorbjorn and his all-star lineup have dodged media pigeonholes and broken down the boundaries of genre, their confidence to experiment growing with every year spent together on the road. Now, on this 11th album, their musical leap is greater than ever before, with dynamic arrangements sent through the roof by the band's musicianship and Thorbjorn's electrifying vocal.
