Oslo, Norway-based melodic rock vocalist Issa (full name: Isabell Oversveen) issued fifth full-length solo studio album Run With The Pack<\/em> on April 20th, 2018 through Frontiers Music Srl.<\/p>\n

Issa commented: \u201cI really can\u2019t wait for everybody to hear this album; it\u2019s been a real labour of love. This album has taken me back to my roots. The feel of the songs is just what got me into music in the first place. The album has got it all \u2014 edgy, dark and full of attitude on one hand, but also the classic larger-than-life ballads which I love so much. I\u2019ve been very privileged to sing a duet with Deen Castronovo and there are some really great songwriters who contributed to the record! When I get asked what my favourite song is, I really don’t know… you decide!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Included is a duet with Deen Castronovo, former drummer of Journey and currently of The Dead Daisies, as well as singing and drumming for Revolution Saints. Castronovo duets with Issa on the track \u2018Sacrifice Me\u2019.<\/p>\n

A \u201cMaking Of\u201d video for the album can be viewed below.<\/p>\n
