Bio:

STREET TALK is the brainchild of Swedish keyboardist/songwriter FREDRIK BERGH. Their debut came in 1997 with the album ‘Collaboration’.The album featured, amongst others, guest vocalist Göran Edman who would continue to work with Fredrik throughout the Street Talk history.In 2000, the album ‘Transition’ was released featuring Goran again on a set of smooth Westcoast/AOR tunes.In 2002 STREET TALK signed to the now defunct MTM Music label for the excellent album 'Restoration'. The opus featured vocals from Goran once again and also two popular tracks from American AOR vocalist HUGO.In 2006 the band released their fourth all-original studio album – the distinctly more powerful, pure AOR masterpiece ‘V’. Featuring Goran Edman on all vocals, the album was the defining moment of Street Talk’s history.Since the release of ‘V’ in 2006, STREET TALK has been on hiatus, but Fredrik has been as busy as ever as a founding member of melodic metal band Bloodbound as well as writing and working with such artists as Revolution Saints, Steve Augeri, Steve Overland, Joe Lynn Turner, Rob Moratti, Harry Hess, Bob Halligan jr, Phenomena, Seven and Anette Olzon

Album:

One of the finest Swedish AOR acts - STREET TALK - featuring among others stellar vocalist Göran Edman, got their most celebrated albums reissued by MelodicRock Records with exclusive all new artwork and each including several bonus tracks. This expanded reissue includes 3 albums limited to just 500 units each. All three albums are long out of print, highly sought after and when listed, fetch high prices on Ebay.Let's go with "Transition".Street Talk is the brainchild of Swedish keyboardist/songwriter Fredrik Bergh. After their really well received debut in the late Nineties, second album "Transition" was released in 2000 featuring Edman again on a set of smooth AOR tunes."Transition" it's an album that really defines the Street Talk sound and one that showcases just how versatile a singer Goran Edman really is: sounds like he was born to sing straight-up AOR. Backed by sublime melodies and impeccable production, Edman really shines here.MelodicRock Records reissue of "Transition" features new cover artwork, the Japanese bonus track “I’ll Always Remember You” and six additional bonus demo tracks.Appeared last year, it has become pretty exhausted right now, so if you see a copy buy it with eyes closed, not only it's a great AOR album, but also a collector's piece.

Album:

MelodicRock Records is excited to announce a partnership with Swedish AOR favourites STREET TALK for a limited reissue of the band’s best three albums.On August 30 and limited to just 500 units each, MRR will reissue the STREET TALK albums ‘Transition’ (from 2000); ‘Restoration’ (from 2002) and the AOR classic ‘V’ (from 2006).All three albums are long out of print, highly sought after and when listed, fetch tidy sums on Ebay.The new MRR reissues will feature exclusive ALL NEW artwork and each album will feature several bonus tracks.2002’s Restoration was the band’s third release, and may be their best overall album. Street Talk took everything that worked on Transition and made it that much better here. Edman sounds perfect as expected, and even gets an assist on two tracks by former Valentine/Open Skyz singer Hugo. There’s a bit more punch on this album, though it’s still as smooth as AOR gets.And the sillier lyrical elements have been dialed back a bit on Restoration. MelodicRock’s reissue of Restoration features new cover artwork, the Japanese bonus track “After the Tears” and eight additional bonus demo, rough mix and instrumental tracks. Again, it’s the Japanese bonus track that’s the real highlight of the bonus material.
