Album lore
Lee Aaron’s self-titled 1987 release on UNIDISC MUSIC INC. stakes her claim amid the late-’80s glam metal and arena rock milieu. The album’s eleven tracks, including “Powerline” and “Hands Are Tied,” blend hard rock’s punch with the polished sheen of AOR and glam influences. Aaron’s vocal presence cuts through the layered guitars and driving rhythms, a hallmark of the period’s mainstream metal.Though not as widely circulated as some contemporaries, this record holds a place in the canon of Canadian rock from the era, drawing a modest but dedicated listenership. The production values reflect the era’s studio craft, balancing accessibility with the raw energy of glam rock’s theatricality. It captures a moment when hard rock and metal were courting radio airplay without losing their fundamental edge.
