Now, Chez Kane is a singer on somewhat of an upward trajectory in her dazzling career, and with the release of her third album, ‘Reckless’, the stars are finally aligning. It’s hard to believe that 4 years have passed since the release of 2022’s ‘Powerzone’, which itself came out a year after her self-titled debut album. All three releases have seen Chez team up with Crazy Lixx’s Danny Rexon in a Rock N’ Roll dream team, with Danny writing and producing her songs.

Kicking straight off with the Radio Wales playlisted title track ‘Reckless’, the Welsh warbler wastes no time in setting the scene for the rest of the album. A clear-cut kickass rocker that builds upon what Kane has released before and will no doubt rock even more in the live set.

‘Personal Rock N’ Roll’ is up next, and sees Chez in full-on rock mode. This track is all about living your best life. We also have another single from the album in the brilliant form of ‘Night of Passion’, which, out of the singles for the album, was my favourite. This song has everything, from killer keys to sultry sax and so much more. 

‘Strip Me Down’ is another rocker that hits the bullseye from the get-go. One thing I love about the Danny & Chez team is that they complement each other perfectly. The progression, clearly heard on this new slab of melodic rock perfection, is amazing.

Another single release in the form of ‘Tongue of Love’, which is a moody mid-paced rocker that struts its way into your subconscious practically from the first listen. ‘Love Tornado’ is yet another pre-release single that has already wormed its way into my head and is also a cracking balls to the wall rocker.

That’s the only negative thing I have to say about this album: too many tracks were released in the run-up to the album’s actual release. If you count the bonus track you got when you pre-ordered the album, you have heard over half of the album, a month before the full release. Obviously, that has nothing to do with the music but more with the business side of things.

Anyway, back to the music, we have the sublime ‘Bad Girl’, which continues the anthemic, living your life to the full vibe that has become Chez’s mission to rock our world, in her and Danny’s unique way.

One of the best tracks on the album is ‘Street Survivor’, which slows things down, only a touch, but is clearly a brilliant song and rewards the listener with a bit of a breather. ‘Too Dangerous’ is another mid-paced rocker that delivers on all fronts.

‘Bodyrock’, the bonus track given to fans who pre-ordered the album, is a sultry way to end a fantastic 3rd album. Which, to be honest, when I think of the whole album, is a perfect soundtrack for a full-on, roof-down, road trip in the sun. I can happily say that Chez & Danny have possibly released one of the best melodic rock albums of 2026 so far and will clearly be living on my wimp deck for quite some time.

Frontiers Records are really pushing the boat with this release as Chez will be hitting the road for One-Week Only: Intimate Acoustic Shows + Meet & Greet, which starts in her hometown local record store – Derricks in Swansea on the day of release – Friday, March 27th.

Chez will also be hitting the road with the full band in support of ‘Reckless’ in April, which will no doubt be one of the hottest melodic rock tickets around.
