Tarja Turunen: NEW Album Title Release Date Announced!

The very talented Tarja Turunen has announced that her 3rd solo album is called 'Colours In The Dark' and will be out on August 23 via earMUSIC, the Hamburg, Germany-based international rock label which is part of Edel Group.

Despite her light and shiny personality, Tarja's music has always been dressed "in black" — the color of heavy rock, of mystery and elegance.

With Tarja's new album, fans will find out what happens when a splice of color is added to the mix. Or — better said — when the full-color spectrum enters the picture it does not cover the black but makes it shine through with many emotions and landscapes.

We recently spoke with Tarja about her latest musical project 'Colours In The Dark':

Tarja Turunen: Reveals More Details About Her 3rd Solo Album!

Tarja Soile Susanna Turunen Cabuli, or simply Tarja, possesses one of the most unique voices in all of music. You obviously know her for the amazing work she did with NIGHTWISH, but she has clearly moved passed the shadow of the band that made a big mistake when they decided to fire her via a letter.

Tarja has announced that she will be working once again with Dirk Rudolph on the artwork for her new solo album. As she told us during a recent interview (listen below), the album will be out this Summer via earMUSIC.

"You can expect, as before, beautiful photos, maybe more shocking this time". The record was mixed in Austin, Texas with producer Tim Palmer (PEARL JAM, U2). Here are some of the song titles:

- "Lucid Dreamer"
- "Neverlight"
- "500 Letters"
- "Never Enough"

A lyric video for the song "Never Enough" was recently filmed in Zlin, Czech Republic and will make its online debut soon. Tarja says: "I didn't want to make a traditional, boring lyric video for the song, so I am going to appear on the video not just the lyrics of the song…. This video is not what we can call the official first music video from my new album, but just an improved version of a lyric video. The filming took only couple hours with Martin, who worked also on directing my first solo live rock DVD, 'Act I'".

Tarja Turunen: 3rd Solo Album, Future In NIGHTWISH & Being A Musician Mother!

Tarja Soile Susanna Turunen Cabuli, or simply Tarja, possesses one of the most unique voices in all of music. You obviously know her for the amazing work she did with NIGHTWISH, the band that decided to fire her via a letter (yes a letter), which obviously reflect the communication problems that the band is famous for.

While this obviously pissed Tarja off, today she sees it as a blessing in disguise. Following her departure from NIGHTWISH, she began her solo career and has never looked back. 2013 is smiling at Tarja, who became a mother last year, and has completed the recording sessions for her third solo studio album. Instead of us telling you about the progress of the album, we decided to give Tarja a call and get an update directly from. She also talks about IF there are any chances of her reuniting with NIGHTWISH. Here is her update:
