TARJA
The seventh full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Operatic/Symphonic Rock/Metal soprano singer and she’s band.
As the saying goes, not all that glitters is gold. But then again, not all that is gold necessarily glitters. It was this idea that struck Tarja Turunen as she began work on her eighth solo album, “In The Raw”. “Gold, we think, is something polished and perfect, sophisticated, a luxury – but in its natural state it’s a raw element”, explains Tarja. Just like the music on her upcoming album: a combination of sophisticated and refined orchestration, choir and her classically trained voice with a raw, dark heavy musical core. Simply put, “In The Raw” is a gold-plated work of wonder.
Two years on from her last album, 2017’s “From Spirits And Ghosts”, “In The Raw” finds Tarja and her beautiful voice sounding, as ever, truly stunning. Working with many of the same musicians and production team as before, the intention was to bring out the idea of rawness to match the feelings Tarja was having from the very beginning of the process. The album finds Tarja going to raw, personal places in her lyrics. Opening herself up more than ever before, she says she was left feeling naked by her honesty, but also pleased at where she had gone with her words.
Tarja Turunen joined forces with other Heavy Metal vocalists such as Soilwork vocalist Björn "Speed" Strid, Tommy Karevik of Kamelot, and Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia, thus including in the album vocal collaborations with them. Strid is featured in "Dead Promises", Scabbia's vocals can be heard in "Goodbye Stranger", and Karevik is featured in "Silent Masquerade".
"In The Raw" unites the energy of Rock and Metal with Tarja's Classically trained voice and love for refined Orchestral melodies, truly in the best way possible. The album reminds how good Symphonic Metal can be: vocal performances executed to perfection, versatile songwriting, thoughtful arrangements, deeply talented musicians, excellent production values.
"In The Raw" has been widely acclaimed by both Heavy Metal fans and music critics in general, and giving fans to add another golden gem by the Queen of Heavy Rock to their collection.
