W.E.T. - 'Believer' single review

The melodic rock “supergroup”, comprising Jeff Scott Soto, Erik Martensson and Robert Sall, had been quiet for a few years but it appears they have a full album ready to go with release likely to be early in 2025 via Frontiers.

The first single, Believer, has just been released and it is, of course, up to the usual standard. I interviewed Jeff a few years ago and he told me how it is getting more difficult for him to sing in the higher register best suited to W.E.T but he is in fine form on this song, supported up by some epic modern backing vocals that sound like they have been hyper-produced in the studio, Queen-style. It is a high-tempo song featuring a fine short guitar solo by Magnus Henriksson and ticks all the right boxes.

With rumours that a Work of Art album is also in the works, it sounds like 2025 could be a vintage year for classy melodic rock.
