British singer, Lee Small (Phenomena, The Sweet, Lionheart, Shy), will release his new digital single, "The Last Man On Earth", tomorrow (Friday, April 14).
The title track of his new solo album, The Last Man On Earth - to be released internationally on May 26 via Metalville Records - is a real AOR killer that can easily hold its own in international comparison with the big names of the scene. With its crisp hooks, a chorus that guarantees a catchy tune, and a fat production, "The Last Man On Earth" has everything for a future genre classic. The official lyric video for the song can be viewed here.
Because of his melodic voice, Lee Small is often compared to artists like Glenn Hughes, Bobby Kimball, or Steve Walsh and belongs to the most established artists of the AOR scene.
The Last Man On Earth is the album that Lee has wanted to realize throughout his career: a melodic rock feast in the classic style of Journey and Toto. The songs were recorded in London, Los Angeles, and Texas in 2022 and mixed & produced by Tom Cory (Sweet). With its crisp hooks, catchy choruses, outstanding solos, and fat production, The Last Man On Earth has all the ingredients for a future genre classic.
The album graces a wealth of the best musicians around, including Dan Reed as duet partner on one song, guitarists Steve Mann (MSG / Lionheart), Tommy Denander (Bobby Kimball), Charles Berthoud on bass, and Edu Cominato (Geoff Tate) as drummer. Fabrizo Sgattoni (guitar), Mika Gronholm (guitar), Micke Nilsson (guitar), Marshall Harrison (guitar), Sony Stevan (keyboards), and Rossano Capriotti (keyboards) were also involved in the recording as guest musicians.
