Dean Cooper – I’m Alive (feat. Rob Lundgren)

“I’m Alive” starts off with a strong percussion intro and upbeat, multi-layered vocals that scream “hey,” instantly drawing listeners into a nostalgic maelstrom of vintage hard rock. This upbeat start smoothly gives way to a combination of synth and melodic rock guitar, producing a rich, dynamic mix that perfectly reflects 1980s rock. The vocals, delivered by Rob Lundgren, are particularly noteworthy. His voice resonates with a charismatic energy reminiscent of iconic frontmen like David Lee Roth and the lead singer of Steel Panther. Lundgren’s radio-friendly voice meshes perfectly with the soft rock vibe, which brings up images of a world full of lovely people and good times—a classic rock ‘n’ roll fantasy. Another noteworthy component of the song is the orchestration. A developed and engaging listening experience is enhanced by the strategic layering of sounds and the harmony between the strong guitar riffs and synthesizer parts. Every element, from the vibrant drumming to the uplifting vocals, comes through without overpowering other elements due to the excellent level of production. The ability of “I’m Alive” to take listeners back to the height of melodic hard rock without coming off as a simple retro replica is what distinguishes it from other recent albums. The song seems both timeless and up-to-date because of the way it perfectly balances paying respect to the old rock sound with embracing contemporary production methods. This song is a treasure for fans of melodic hard rock who want something more than just a throwback—a regeneration of the genre. We can’t wait for more music like this, Rob Lundgren and Dean Cooper!
