"... music firmly grounded in the songwriting tradition that made him a multiplatinum rock star in the first place ... Kee explores the boundaries of melodic hard rock with a contemporary performance that nods to his past and employs sizzling production. This is an album all his fans will have to pick their jaws up off the floor after hearing!"
- Blabbermouth.net
"... a stunning, smooth melodic rock album with touches of the blues ... elements of the past in the mix along with lots of smooth upbeat choruses and swaggering guitar riffs but all with a more modern feel to it. This is not a retro album, Marcello has just incorporated many of the elements of traditional melodic rock into his songwriting ... very guitar heavy, with lots of prominent guitar riffs, but nothing aggressive or too heavy ... a solid slice of melodic rock goodness which embraces the past whilst giving us something current ..."
- Fireworks Magazine
Kee Marcello, former guitarist of the band Europe, continues his solo career and recalls the classic sound of his old group on this self-produced outing. Marcello has never stopped evolving or growing and the album displays how much he has raised the bar yet again with his playing, singing and writing. Scaling Up consolidates the Swedish musician's influences and genres since the start and bears particular and obvious resemblance to Europe's 1991 release Prisoners in Paradise.
"The whole idea of Scaling Up is to, very respectfully, use the music of my past as a canvas to paint a picture of where I stand today and what I aim for in the future as a guitarist/singer/writer. I think we've got the balance of now and then just right and it's performed by the best group of musicians I've ever had the honour of playing with!"
