Powell-Payne – Voilà 2024

Coming Soon

Welsh melodic rock band Powell-Payne are excited to announce the release of their debut album “Voilà”, out on December 6th, 2024, via Frontiers Music Srl. Vocalist Adam Payne describes the album as “a collection of powerful tracks mixed with some good old fashioned melodic rock with a tip of the hat to 80s giants”.

Discussing the track “Better Days”, Payne adds: “With this single we tried to capture a new AOR sound whilst keeping true to our writing methods and influences”. Formed in 2022 by Mark “Penfold” Powell (ex-drummer of Psycho Kiss) and Adam Payne (former vocalist of Airrace), Powell-Payne’s journey began with a single goal – to create a heartfelt song dedicated to their lost loved ones, therefore they released the first single with Adam Davies and Steve Leyshon.

Mark and Adam then decided to bring in Aydan Watkins (Guitar) and Alex Anderson (Bass) to solidify the quartet and to be able to create the next chapter of songs. Now, with a full band in place, this gives the band the opportunity to tour the album and play in as many places as they can.

“Voilà” is a mixture of Genuine AOR, featuring some authentic emotion-woven tracks with great hooks, an album well arranged, composed and the performance of the musicians is awesome. The production is punchy and well balanced.
