This album was finished in july which is a while before we started filming the visual album in October and November. This was also noted by Jacob himself): I think the album is a little scattered so genre-wise, I think theres probably something for everyone at least one song, and I feel pretty good about a lot of them. But it was just a reminder that music is powerful, art is powerful and it can evoke such intense feelings that youve already experienced that you might have already like gotten over more or less. You can listen to Frozen in Time on platforms like Apple Music and Spotify. Its uh- I dont know that ones all over the place what I was most inspired by was Green Days Jesus of Suburbia, Bohemian Rhapsody, something like that and just like- Its that song alone tells a story its multiple acts, and I think thats cool, how it all comes together. For the specific visual album, what inspired me the most were artists who have done this before. The music on the album pairs nicely with Jacobs voice, boldly taking on the performance quality that is heard within. The albums first track Lights Off presents us with this interesting satire that can be heard from track to track, as if Jacob is downplaying the severity of what he is feeling or going through. A Beautiful Selection of Songs From, Benet i Mateu, 26 - 08034 Barcelona (Spain), Call us now: Like its A Life Frozen Time is in three acts, the first act is about recognizing the heartbreak, the second act is dealing with the heartbreak, and the third part is the resolve, its the resolution of it all. Some people will be in a time where they can relate to it, and think obviously of Im not alone but more so of the comfort of it, because this album resolves. Additionally, Jacobs delivery makes the lyrics lighter, his showman-like vocals adding a bit of whimsy to the words. FROZEN IN TIME is the long-waited debut studio full-length album by the American band, Ace of Hearts. Styles change as well, as the piano ballad Monophobia II and eclectic closing track A Life Frozen in Time deviate from the pop rock that is prevalent. I dont know its a- I think each song can be traced back to one solid inspiration, and I think thats really cool. +34 93 280 60 28. Your Name is straight from The Cure, and Waiting for Your Call is just a sad cowboy song. As the album explores a variety of topics, it can definitely connect with someone who might be dealing with one or more of the scenarios that Jacob puts forth. I think it was hard at times, I vividly remember I did a vocal track for A Life Frozen in Time [and] all of that [is a] seven and a half minute song was one vocal take and it was the song is an emotional journey that I dealt with. Melodies swirl and change throughout, as we hear on tracks like Deadbeat Boulevard and Your Name, preventing a song from getting too stale or predictable. Its easier to get these Alpharad fans who are there for visual content, to listen to the new music, if its in form of video and obviously music videos is the best way to do that. But I thought a little bigger and thought I want to advertise it all and honestly just create a really cool piece of art, and I just like narratives and I think the whole story can be directed in a certain narrative because we had a track listing for the album, and then whenever I came up with a narrative, they got all shuffled around because I was like this is how to tell a story, and mainly I just made a visual album because I wanted to make a cool piece of art. So expect them sometime next year , I think the album is a little scattered so genre-wise, I think theres probably something for everyone at least one song and I feel pretty good about a lot of them, but the [one that] stands out for me is definitely the final track, A Life Frozen in Time because that feels The whole narrative of the visual album- of the entire album can just be summed up in that three acts that is a life frozen in time and I think its just a really vulnerable and personal experience for me and just how the song comes together gives me chills that final held note in the third act its just its something Im really proud of and Im just I just have such a soft spot for a song like that, Again my biggest goal is to just create a cool piece of art, so I hope people leave this thinking What a cool piece of art, but art has meaning, and I think the albums about heartbreak, I mean its focuses on life after heartbreak the coping of it, and I think its its a relatable thing, but Im sure people will be able to hear this and then look back on the time they could relate to more. I mean obviously like your Drunk in Love, your Fall Out Boy and just how Green Day writes 21st Century Breakdown and American Idiot. The reason I decided to do a visual album was because given the size of Alpharad, I knew I had an audience there, but I think promoting music has always been a little difficult because its audio, and its like how do I move that visual audience to a more audio medium? And I think that is the most optimistic thing I can put out there, because the album Ill be honest fucking pretty sad I dont know I just hope people enjoy it for what its worth and come to their own interpretations on what it can mean to them. Recommended Tracks: Lights Off, Silver Lining, Deadbeat Boulevard FROZEN IN TIME is also a storytelling album that touches on Jacobs personal life, and one of them being he and his wife, Fiorella, were no longer together. The music is also there to comfort or guide, building on the big moments and easing back on the small. So I thought if I made like a visual album- I dont know I think the number one reason was marketing. I had is still intact and its been interpreted in like other ways which is fun and exciting then for the actual album, it was good, it was smooth. Your email address will not be published. album.

Whatever happens to Ace of Hearts from here is to be determined, but at least we will have Frozen in Time to remember this moment. The song earliest recorded on it is Your Name which was recorded in February of 2020 before the entire pandemic which is crazy but a majority of the album was everything that wasnt a single, so like Your Name, Silver Lining, [and] Lights Off like those were all recorded way before but the rest of the album was recorded in just like a one week span in July and since then it was smooth. So I remember vividly, we were in the studio and I did that seven and a half minute vocal take, and then immediately just walked out the studio and just like had to like cry and let it out and it was a cool experience. So that thats why the album got shuffled pretty much and then I just created an album or a visual album out of that the narrative and the the whole visual album process has been smooth, I was pretty hands off for the creative process outside of the initial inception, so i just kind of got tossed into it and it was fun its the creative vision.
