_{“Stronger” is the second album from Swedish singer Mia Klose and it was released independently on 28th September. This album comes six years after her debut album in 2012 and marks her return to the music scene after a hiatus of a couple of years. Mia delivers 80’s inspired rock music with a modern twist, often at the softer more “poppy” side of the genre, but still very listenable. I included the track “Gimme Gimme” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 21st September and “Time to Rock” on the NI Rocks A-Z Show on 23rd October.}

_{Mia Klose released her debut album “London” back in August 2012 and I posted a recommendation for it in April 2013 after connecting with her on social media and getting a copy of the album. She hails from Stockholm, Sweden but lives in London. Other than that there’s not really much I can tell you about her.}

_{In the past Mia has played festivals such as Download, Sweden Rock, Bloodstock and Hard Rock Hell as well as touring with Steel Panther, Reckless Love and Sebastian Bach.}

_{Working with Mia Klose are bass player C-Rexx, guitarists Jonny Nonsense and Kalle Arheden and drummer Henry Rogers. Jonny Scaramanga who now plays in Kee Marcello’s band had worked with Mia previously and was involved in the song-writing.}

_{About “NI Rocks Recommends”}

_{The simple idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends” is to acknowledge and promote some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI. The albums that I’ll be recommending are those that you’ll hear me playing tracks from on my shows. I'll not be giving marks or ratings or analyzing the tracks in great detail; just telling you something about the artist and the album. It’s a personal recommendation to go check something out, not a traditional “review”!}
