With “Let Me Fly,” Mike & The Mechanics finally present a new album in 2017. The record is the long-awaited successor to “The Road” from 2011.

“Let Me Fly” is already the eighth studio album by Mike & The Mechanics, and the second with the current band line-up, consisting of guitarist and bassist Mike Rutherford and vocalists Andrew Roachford and Tim Howar, who both joined the band in 2010

Keyboardist Luke Juby, drummer Gary Wallis and guitarist Anthony Drennan complete the band on “Let Me Fly”.

With “Don’t Know What Came Over Me” Mike & The Mechanics already gave a first foretaste of what the listener can expect on the new album with a total of twelve songs.Let Me Fly is the second album from the latter-day incarnation of Mike + the Mechanics, the one featuring Andrew Roachford and Tim Howar splitting lead vocal duties. By this point, any of Mike Rutherford’s lingering prog influences are long gone, leaving a streamlined and polished professional pop group. Even when the pace quickens and the arrangements sparkle, the affair seems subdued and, to that end, Roachford never quite gets the chance to stretch his chops. Then again, virtuosity isn’t the name of the game here: this is gleaming mature pop, music for well-tailored moods and, to that end, it succeeds. -Stephen Thomas Erlewine
