GROUNDBREAKER Premiere ‘Will It Make You Love Me?’ Music Video
September 14th, 2018

European melodic rock group Groundbreaker, featuring FM vocalist Steve Overland and Work Of Art / W.E.T. guitarist Robert Säll, have filmed a music video for the track ‘Will It Make You Love Me?’, which can be viewed below.
Steve Overland commented: “It is a riff-driven song with a fantastic chorus. It is also my favourite song on the record and we had a great time making the video.”
Robert Säll added: “I had the basic idea for this song, the riff and chorus, for years, but it wasn’t until now that I actually finished it. It turned out to be my favourite song on the album too! I’m very excited about the release of this record. It has been getting great reviews already, but I can’t wait to hear what the fans think of it, as that is what really matters.”
Groundbreaker issued their self-titled debut full-length studio album on September 14th, 2018 through Frontiers Music Srl.
Groundbreaker came about when a conversation between Frontiers president Serafino Perugino and Overland revealed that the latter was eager to collaborate with “new and exciting” musicians from the European melodic rock scene. The idea was immediately brought up to involve Säll and use Alessandro Del Vecchio’s production abilities. Overland loved the initial material that was submitted, and consequently they all started to work on songs. The process was very smooth and the final result was so good that everyone thought that the name Groundbreaker was the right way to describe the power and the vibe of the music.
“I’m the main composer for about half of the songs, but Ale and Steve wrote a lot as well,” said Säll. “I had to write songs with Steve’s voice in mind and that was new, but very inspiring to me. But for any fan of FM or Work Of Art, I think they will be very familiar with the sound of this record!”
“The idea for the album was to make a classic AOR album and I think between Robert, Alessandro, Pete Alpenborg and myself, we came up with a great collection of songs,” added Overland. “I think this is some of the best material I’ve worked on in a while and all of the musicians on the record are fantastic, not only as players, but to work with. I knew of Robert’s writing talents on the Work Of Art records, but it really turned out to be a great collaboration and I’m so proud of the results! My personal favourite song on the record is ‘Will It Make You Love Me’. We’ve shot a video for it and I think it’s truly a future classic!”
