Soul to Soul

Soul to Soul is the second album, released on 12 November 2021. Robert Säll, who wrote the debut, is not on it. Overland himself explained why: Säll had other commitments and could not give the time when they wanted to make it. It was not a falling-out — Robert is a friend of his, he says, and they keep in touch. Sven Larsson, formerly of Street Talk and Lionville, took the guitar chair, and one reviewer wrote that he outshines Overland on this record. Nalle Påhlsson, Herman Furin and Del Vecchio all stayed. The writing team actually grew: Stefano Lionetti, Pete Alpenborg, Jan Åkesson and Kristian Fyhr all brought material in from across the current melodic rock scene. Overland plays the lead guitar himself on "Wild World." Opinion divided. Some called it almost faultless AOR; others could not see what the project adds to Overland's CV at all, finding it little different from FM or his solo work. One reviewer went sharper, noting that Del Vecchio's keyboards are hammering out chords that ought to pierce through while the typically compressed Frontiers production flattens them into mulch — and that the man responsible for that production is Del Vecchio.
