August 4, 2009, 15 years ago
A few months ago the Michael Kiske Official Fanclub reported about a new AOR project managed by Frontiers Records where Kiske (ex-HELLOWEEN) will sing with a famous female singer, and for this project Mat Sinner (PRIMAL FEAR, SINNER) and Magnus Karlsson (PLACE VENDÔME, Primal Fear...) are the main composers. It has been revealed that the female singer will be the singer, vocal coach, producer, and choir conductor AMANDA SOMERVILLE (AMANDA, AINA, AVANTASIA, EPICA).
Kiske commented recently: "This is another idea by Serafino (Frontiers owner). I did a duet with a female singer on 'Breathing Water' by Indigo Dying. It was so nice that he offered me a chance to make an album of all duet songs with a famous female singer. So far the ideas of Frontiers were very cool. I am glad they're bringing those to me."
On Frontiers's MySpace Mat Sinner added: "That’s my newest project and we’re working hard on the songwriting for the first album. It’s a pleasure to write and produce Michael’s next album and with Amanda as the co-singer it's something very special. I wrote songs with Magnus and Jimmy Kresic for the album and we’re really excited about the songs. Eight tracks are pre-produced now and we need another two songs before we will start the real recordings. After Forever mainman Sander Gommans plans to join us and he’s working on new songs with Amanda at the moment! Look out for a melodic metal masterpiece in early 2010!"
