【Melodic Hard Rock】Annica (FIN) - What's Your Game 1988~Emily's collection

【Pls look at the top comment first】The 1980s hard/melodic rock gems by female artists are always attractive and impressive. Finish singer Annika Wiklund (a.k.a. Annica, her stage name) should never be forgotten when people speak of the female-fronted hard/melodic rock albums on the top-class level. "Badly Dreaming (1988)" is a diamond for 1980s dreamers. Annika Wiklund was born in Nyköping, Sweden to a Finnish mother and a Swedish father. She started her career singing in a Swedish rock band called "Mörbyligan" when she was a 15-year-old teen girl in the early 1980s. In Mörbyligan's third album "No 003" released in 1982, Annika Wiklund performed as the female vocalist. Then she left the band as she has said that the band's strong social orientation was ultimately too much for her. Mörbyligan is a Swedish-singing band with all the albums recorded in the native language. She can sing and speak Swedish, Finnish and English. The English album "Badly Dreaming" means a lot to her career as a solo artist. It is never too exaggerated to say that the album "Badly Dreaming (1988)" is a must for whoever loves the best female-fronted hard/melodic rock. Each song in this album stands on the first-class level among 1980s female-fronted rock. In the mid 1980s, Annika Wiklund went to Jyväskylä, where his grandmother lived. Since then she decided to settle in Jyväskylä and started playing with local bands. In the years living in Finland, she made big progress in Finnish as Finnish is her second language. She had accumulated experience in singing in more than one rock bands, the best-known of which was the prog rock band Lindsay Gate. In the Jyväskylä-based band Lindsay Gate, two songs "Everything's Allright" and "Sail Away" with Annika Wiklund on lead vocals were released to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the city of Jyväskylä. With the two songs, her voice started to spread. In 1988, she formally started to record her solo English album "Badly Dreaming". That year it was her first time using the stage "Annica". The full-length album "Badly Dreaming (1988)" includes no weak songs. Musically, this album is really a perfect gem. The songs in this album absolutely carry the very similar or even the same taste as the songs in Lee Aaron's 1987 album. There are both hard rock and melodic rock songs in this album. Some singles were released on EPs. "Badly" and "Dreaming" are two songs. There is a music video of the ballad "Badly". "Dreaming" is another flaming hard rock gem which can hit every heartbeat to keep high with rock passion. In each of her songs, Annica's powerful and hoarse voice lights up the highlights and pushes the songs to the climax. The splendid keys in the album make her songs shine with bright colours. This song "What's Your Game" is also a single on the EP. This flaming melodic hard rock gem sounds impeccable. When its intro starts, it can immediately catch people's ears. On youtube, it's amazing to see Annica sing this song at a gig in 2015. After 27 years, her voice never changed. From the beginning to the end, people can enjoy every note of each song in "Badly Dreaming". Today let this superb album by Annica spread again. #HardRock #MelodicRock #AnnikaWiklund
