Roger Taylor - Frontera Extraña Strange Frontier

Review by Extra Knowledge Entertainment

Frontera Extraña Strange Frontier is the third solo album by Roger Taylor, the drummer and occasional songwriter of the legendary British rock band Queen. Released in 1984, the album showcases Taylor's eclectic musical tastes and his experimental approach to pop and rock music.

The album features ten tracks, ranging from catchy pop songs to atmospheric ballads, from hard-edged rockers to quirky synth-pop experiments. Taylor's distinctive voice and his skillful drumming are prominent throughout the album, but he also plays guitar, bass, and keyboards, and invites several guest musicians to contribute to the recordings.

The opening track, "Strange Frontier," sets the tone for the album with its pulsating beat, atmospheric synths, and Taylor's urgent vocals. The following tracks, such as the upbeat "Beautiful Dreams" and the melancholic "Masters of War," showcase Taylor's songwriting skills and his ability to convey different moods and emotions.

The album also includes several covers, such as the classic rockabilly tune "Rockin' in Rhythm" and the soulful ballad "Let's Get Crazy." Taylor's versions of these songs are faithful to the original versions but also add his own twist and personality.
