CASANDRA’S CROSSING – feat. Guitar Legend George Lynch Shares Third Single “Closer to Heaven”

Listen To New George Lynch Project That Sounds A Lot Like Dokken With A Female Singer

Today, the new musical alliance of guitar legend George Lynch and powerhouse singer Casandra Carson shares “Closer to Heaven,” the third single from their forthcoming album, ‘Garden of Earthly Delights,’ out October 25th via Frontiers Music Srl.

Casandra comments on “Closer to Heaven“:

“To me, ‘Closer to Heaven‘ is a prayer. I likened my experience in the music industry to the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. I put my faith in these magic beans (my songs), hoping they will grow to be fruitful and provide shelter and nourishment for me and my family. Of course, that comes with people thinking you’re crazy, too! Ultimately, I feel that I’m on the right path, so this song was like a cry out to God for some kind of miracle to happen in my career to take me to the next level.”

The musical chemistry between these two talented artists has created a magnificent modern hard rock album that showcases Lynch‘s trademark riffage driven by the outstanding voice of Casandra Carson, who is set to be the next rock singing sensation.

About ‘Garden of Earthly Delights,’ Casandra also adds:“Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever meet, let alone collaborate with such a legend as George Lynch! It was an absolute honor and pleasure to work with him on this record. George’s tracks were so cool and inspiring, it was probably some of the most fun I’ve ever had writing lyrics and melodies. I truly couldn’t be more proud of this album, and I’m so excited to finally share it with the rest of the world.”

1. Stranger
2. Impatient
3. Closer to Heaven
4. Ring Me Around
5. Devastatiing Times
