Tarja - I Walk AloneTarja - I Walk Alone

Tarja Turunen has enjoyed success as the lead singer of multi-million-selling Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish since she joined the band in 1996 and until she left the band towards the end of 2005 due to the rest of Nightwish asking Tarja to leave the band in an open letter, which isn’t the best of ways to deal with an in band dispute and sack your singer. Being kicked out of Nightwish has done Tarja some good as she has now had time to work on her own solo album 'My Winter' which is due for release towards the end of November on Spinefarm Records.

The lead single release and main track to lead up to the release of Tarja's solo album is 'I Walk Alone', the song is inspired by Mozart's Requiem and has such a good combined sound of classical music and rock music. In 'I Walk Alone' Tarja's vocals simply sound stunning and the overall song has a movie feel about it and wouldn’t be to far out of place being played in a Tim Burton movie.

Nightwish fans are bound to love 'I Walk Alone' and are probably counting down the days until Tarja's new album 'My Winter Storm' is released. Tarja is a talented musician whose vocals are simply breathtaking.

4/5
