Axel Rudi Pell - Halleluja

HALLELUJAH At least one of the best ballads around. Originally written and released by Leonard Cohen in 1984, it wasn't his version giving me the idea to cover this tune. Actually it was all the good and bad performances of some TV casting show participants, who gave me the real kick to createone of the, hopefully, ultimate versions of this song. We recorded a children's choir for this, which fitsperfectlyto Johnny's emotional and soulful voice. There are 2 different versions of this track: the CD album version which features a slightly wilder guitar solo and the Single (and downloadable) version which features a calmer guitar solo. "The Ballads IV" will be released as standard version, double gatefold LP in coloured vinyl and download through Steamhammer / SPV. Another 7 years passed by after the release of the .The Ballads III..Seven years of writing, recording and collecting even more emotional and melancholic songs. To keep the tradition, the band decided to record 3 brand new tracks for this ballad compilation.
