Former NIGHTWISH vocalist Tarja Turunen recently spoke with Bloodlines about her new live release, “Act II”. An excerpt follows:
On whether she’s started working on a new album:
Tarja: “I can’t tell you too much about it, but definitely, I’ve been writing songs. I’ve been writing plenty of songs, actually — I have more songs than needed for the album itself. I’m working on the lyrics at the moment. I feel that the album is pretty much darker than the previous one, even a bit heavier maybe. Nevertheless, never forgetting the symphonic side of mine, as my first love of music was classical music, so I will never get away from that.”
