“Midnight Hearts” is the debut album from American band Feyleux. Previously, they released a single, both tracks of which are included on this album. Feyleux draws heavily on ’80s Wave-Pop and Dark-Wave influences, reviving them in a dreamy, atmospheric style. While most tracks lean towards an Electro sound, there are moments where guitars subtly come into play. The majority of the songs feature a female lead vocalist, but some tracks offer a male-female vocal duo. My favorite part of the album leans into a harder, darker sound, though the overall tracklist often feels like it lacks a strong climax. The album showcases good ideas but could benefit from further development. (Rating:6½).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
