Well as a year has gone by and in the Michael Bormann studio in Duisburg, Germany RAIN recorded "Stronger" in 2005. The release took place in Europe on November 2006 and it was worth the wait. Bormann who is a premiere vocalist, who established himself as one of the kingpins in music and will leave a legacy of accolades a mile long before his career ends.

Right from the opening track, "Do You like It" Bormann capture the essence of charisma and oozes his way into the hearts of music fans. True arena anthem style vibe right off the bat and with the smooth slick guitar playing by Tore Moren excitement sends shivers down your arm.

RAIN is a supergroup with stars from JORN, BANGKOK BABES and JADED HEART that started back in 1997 and they are still content working on their solo projects yet still come back to RAIN as a force. The highlight track "Get over it" is a crushing tune that reeks's platinum status. It has all the markings of longevity and should go down on a greatest hits release in the future.

Bormann, that I would say was a German version of Jon Bon Jovi has the same aura as a frontman and musician. Check out the tune "Crazy" a ballad of sorts with a catchy chorus good background harmonies and that melodic guitar makes this another killer tune. "Die for You" tell me Bormann doesn t sound like Bon Jovi a little, this is a great ballad with candles lit, snuggling up to your lady with the lights dim and romance in the air.

Another classic "Flesh And Blood" AOR gold, RAIN has chemistry to stay on top of the charts with more then half the tunes on "Stronger". This is a CD that you will have no skipping tracks and will listen to over and over again.

I hope the band will stay together and we see future releases. Everyone should go out and get RAIN's "Stronger".
