Based in Lund, Sweden, Untold Jukebox takes an impressively unusual route into AOR, with the artist blending 18th-century military history with the smooth, polished sounds of late-70s and 80s West Coast rock.
…a nostalgic, soulful AOR journey packed with smooth vocals and 70s-inspired grooves.
“Rehnskiölds Fraustadt Strategy” is a six-and-a-half-minute-long track with some breezy 70s and 80s tones that almost remind me of Dire Straits in places. I also loved how smooth the vocals were and how this felt like a step back in time for me, as I grew up with this kind of music in the mid-90s whilst sitting in the back of my parents’ car.
With influences from Eagles, Lionel Richie and Little River Band, there’s no denying that this song is very much written in a way that can grip your attention well within the first minute.
With plenty of replayability, this is a song that is going to be stuck in your mind from the get-go, especially with that soulful chorus. If you like what you hear, then be sure to check out their previous tracks, as there’s lots more where this came from.
