TARJA TURUNEN Heading Back To The Studio This Year
April 23, 2009, 15 years ago
In an interview with Argentinian Heavy Rock magazine, Finnish vocalist TARJA TURUNEN (ex-NIGHTWISH) reveals the following in regards to her forthcoming solo album, What Lies Beneath (working title):
"I have composed about thirty songs, but I don't know how many will be included on the CD. I will enter the studio at the end of this year...".
The translated interview is available at Taja fan site Voices Of Enchantment.
As previously reported, Tarja has announced a series of special North American live performances in support of her solo debut, My Winter Storm. The run of dates will kick off on April 29th in NYC and will include shows in Chicago, San Francisco, West Hollywood, CA, Toronto and Montreal.
Backing Tarja on My Winter Storm are the talents of a truly stellar line-up of musicians, including acclaimed bassist Doug Wimbish (LIVING COLOUR, ANNIE LENNOX, JOE SATRIANI, JEFF BECK, MADONNA, ROLLING STONES), guitarist Alex Scholpp, keyboardist / programmer Torsten Stenzel (NELLY FURTADO, MOBY, TINA TURNER, VANESSA MAE) and drummer / percussionist Earl Harvin (SEAL, PET SHOP BOYS, AIR) - a player personally selected by Tarja after she witnessed him steal the spotlight on tour with Seal.
