In addition to what Nightwish brought me, the voice of what Nightwish was before Annette Olzon came into the picture, the voice of an angel, still allures me.
The operatic voice of Tarja Turunen is something that still gives me goosebumps, no matter if I listen to her voice in Nightwish or on her solo albums.
Tarja Soile Susanna Turunen Cabuli,born on 17 August 1977, is a full lyric soprano and has a vocal range of three octaves. She represented Nightwish from 1995 until 2005, until the band fired her as a singer. While she was in Nightwish, she participated in a project of Beto Vazquez for Infinity. After this she launched her solo career and released Henkäys Ikuisuudesta (2006), which was a Christmas CD, My Winter Storm (2007), What Lies Beneath (2010). She is currently working on a new album, which will be released somewhere in 2013.
She came to The Netherlands for the first time since she started her solo career, which
happened on 25 February 2012 at the Effenaar in Eindhoven. She was very energetic and happy to be there, and put up quite a show. It was certainly worth travelling to Eindhoven for. :)
Almost all of her songs have an emotional link for me, but the ones I love most: The Reign, Oasis, Our Great Divide, Ciaran's Well, Anteroom Of Death, Until My Last Breath, I Feel Immortal, Rivers Of Lust, Dark Star, The Archive Of Lost Dreams, Crimson Deep, mostly because it brings out the emotions in her voice...
Here's a song which will be featured on her upcoming album:
I can't wait to her the new songs :)
