Mixed by Tim Palmer in Austin, Texas (Pearl Jam, U2), the songs on “Colours In The Dark” do not shy away from taking a risk and surprising musical turns, introducing new sounds and new musical atmospheres. Still, they maintain a heaviness that will surely bring a big smile to the hardest of rockers. With its grand orchestra and choir arrangements, Tarja’s next milestone emphasises once again the impressive vocal range of the Finnish artist and shows her artistic growth. With ten brand new songs and over one hour of music, “Colours In The Dark” is definitely going to be one of the brightest moments for rock in 2013.
Tarja will perform the songs from “Colours In The Dark Tour 2013” starting with her forthcoming tour in Europe.

Tubular Beats, a new album of remixes of some of Mike’s tracks by Mike and York (Torsten Stenzel). Unlike with previous club mixes, the album is a true two-sided collaboration between Mike and Torsten, making use of parts from the original multitrack tapes as well as new parts played by Mike. It also features Tarja Turunen on the track ‘Never Too far’.
The tracklisting is:
1. Let There Be Light (York Remix) 2. Far Above the Clouds (York Remix) 3. Ommadawn (Mike Oldfield & York Remix) 4. Guilty (Mike Oldfield & York Remix) 5. Tubular Bells (Mike Oldfield & York Remix) 6. To France (Radio Remix) 7. Northstar (Mike Oldfield & York Remix) 8. Moonlight Shadow (Radio Remix) 9. Guilty (York & Mike’s Electrofunk Mix) 10. Tubular Bells 2 (Mike Oldfield & York Remix) 11. Never Too Far (featuring Tarja Turunen)
The album will be released by Edel in Germany and through other partners, but it won’t released in the UK initially (that decision will come down to Mercury/Universal).

Following the sensational success of “ACT I”, earMUSIC and Tarja are delighted to announce the renewal of their collaboration for an exciting set of new releases spanning over the next few years.
Kicking off with the long awaited new studio rock album, the following months will entail many musical areas of interest of the versatile and talented Finnish artist, including exciting new studio material as well as live audio and video recordings.
Although rock will remain Tarja‘s main musical field in the months to come, earMUSIC and the artist are also planning to release further high quality productions in diverse musical genres.
The spectacular “Beauty and The Beat” tour will be filmed this year, and the success of the album “Harus” will be followed by the first-ever classical studio album by Tarja Turunen.
Tarja‘s fans will be happy to know that the follow-up to 2010′s studio album “What Lies Beneath” will hit the stores between August and September 2013.

Tarja Turunen (EX-NIGHTWISH) énekesnőnek kisbabája született
Az új szólóalbum a jövő nyár végére várható
Az ex-Nightwish pacsirta Tarja Turunennek megszületett az első gyermeke, és erről az örvendetes eseményről csak annak köszönhetően szerezhettünk tudomást, hogy szerdán az énekesnő kitett a Facebook oldalára egy fotót, amelyen már a babával látható.”Ideje elindulni a reptérre. Pár nap múlva indul az új turné Németországban. Ez tényleg egy különleges körút lesz.” – írta Tarja a fotó mellé.Az énekesnő sajtósa később megerősítette, hogy a képen Tarja valóban az első gyermekét tartja a kezében. Ismeretes, hogy a jelenleg Buenos Airesben élő Tarja férje, Marcelo Cabuli egyben a menedzsere is. Gratulálunk nekik a babához!Ami Tarja új szólóalbumát illeti, azon továbbra is folyik a munka, a lemez megjelenése a jövő nyár végére várható.
Miután Anette Olzon kikerült a Nightwishből, természetesen Tarját is megkérdezték, hogy gondol-e a visszatérésre, de erre ő csak viccesen ennyit mondott:
“Abban az esetben csatlakoznék újra a Nightwish-hez, ha az összes tag lecserélődne, akárcsak a banda menedzsmentje.”
Tarja azt is hozzátette, hogy cseppet sem lepte meg Anette távozása.
