Project Shangri-La

Project Shangri-La is a work on which, centered on Lana Lane’s clear voice, progressive development, symphonic keyboards and the accessibility of melodic rock are layered. While handling fantastical subjects, the songs value the vocal melody, never leaving the listener behind. A theme evoking a utopia gives the work a great scale. On “Redemption Part I,” “Project Shangri-La” and “The Nightingale,” grand arrangement and delicate singing set each other off. Songs like “Before You Go,” “Tears Of Babylon” and “I Believe In You” breathe the work’s full expression too. It is rich content for those who seek dramatic, elegant female-vocal works. It is a full record on which Lana Lane and Erik Norlander’s matured skill shines.
