Swedish singer Angelica Rylin of THE MURDER OF MY SWEET has decided to pursue her childhood dream and has begun recording a melodic rock solo album with the help of producer — and her THE MURDER OF MY SWEET bandmate — Daniel Flores.

"I always wanted to record an album like this," says Angelica. My childhood heroes were Robin Beck, Ann Wilson of HEART, Leigh Matty of ROMEO'S DAUGHTER."

Several melodic rock songwriting luminaries worked hard to create the magic harmonies and music that will be displayed on Angelica's solo debut, including Harry Hess, Daniel Flores, Robert Sall and Anders Wigelius. Making guest appearances on the CD are guitarists Jesper Strömblad (IN FLAMES), Magnus Karlsson (PRIMAL FEAR) and Per Berquist (SMASH INTO PIECES); and keyboardist Matt Guillory (JAMES LABRIE).

"This being my first solo record, I now have the chance to show you another side of me," says Angelica. "This is the next chapter. I hope you'll follow!"
