“Stronger” is the second album from Swedish singer Mia Klose and it was released independently on 28th September. This album comes six years after her debut album in 2012 and marks her return to the music scene after a hiatus of a couple of years. Mia delivers 80’s inspired rock music with a modern twist, often at the softer more “poppy” side of the genre, but still very listenable. I included the track “Gimme Gimme” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 21st September and “Time to Rock” on the NI Rocks A-Z Show on 23rd October.
The latest release from English melodic rock band Newman is “Decade II” which is a double album featuring 17 tracks from albums released in the past ten years and another 17 tracks of previously un-released or rare material.

The previously unreleased track “Liar” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 28th September.
