Tarja colaborará con Mike Oldfield

We are proud to announce the release of “Tubular Beats”, the brand new remix album by Mike Oldfield. The album will include the most popular songs by Oldfield and the brand new song “Never Too Far”, featuring Tarja Turunen tarjaofficial Out February 1st, 2013!

Preorder the album via Amazon: http://amzn.to/UzYMfe

“Never Too Far” is a brand new song featuring singer Tarja Turunen who not surprisingly is offering one of her most emotional performances ever, being Oldfield one of the singer’s heroes.

Tarja explains: “It was such a pleasure to work with Mike Oldfield. The song turned out to be even better than I could have ever expected. Mike has a vast career and experience in pop, instrumental and electronic music. I love his music and his personal guitar sound.
My work in this song was inspired by Mike’s ‘Islands’ featuring another of my youth idol: Bonnie Tyler. A way to thank them for the nice melodies I grew up with was to add a line from their hit. And I believe Mike liked the idea too. That’s how ‘Never Too Far’ was born. Hope that you enjoy the song as much as I do.”

The most interesting from Spark:

Two Concerts in Zlí­n (Czech Republic) are sold out.
Tarja said:
Concert Beauty and the Beat in Bulgaria I liked very much and I will repeat it again.

In Zlin are going to shoot DVD!

In each country will accompany us local choir and orchestra.

Concerts BATB will be around 15 together, there will be even more in Europe.

People from the orchestra are not accustomed to my audience, but I Adore their vocalisation and I hope it stays that way!

I love opera and classical music, I do not want to choose between, I would not be me.

My new album will be released in August or September, it’s nearly finished.

Naomi is an angel. We can do with her what so far she is part of our musical life.

"Dear fans,
Sorry for being lazy in writing to you more often. But it is for a good reason.
I have been writing lyrics the last week with Anders and Mattias. You can see us in the photo in a break from the creative process
I have also been recording vocals and today I received the first song mixed and I have decided the name for the new album...
So things are getting ready little by little.
Write to you soon "

Dear fans,

this is the place where I am going to be writing you about the process of my new album.

I am very happy with the production so far and cannot really wait to get the album ready!

It’s going to be a “killer, killer…” 

In few days I am going to record the final vocals for the last song on the album. It will be a hard ending for the vocal recordings, since the song has several choirs and even some sort of ethnic touch, so I will have to sweat.

Anyway this album production has gone very smoothly forward since all the pieces are together and the team that has been working with me before is still the same.

It’s only getting better!

Here I am recording piano for a couple of songs.



And here we are having fun with my daughter in the studio listening to the takes.



In few days I will be flying to LA to work with Jim Dooley the orchestra and choir arrangements and then next week the “Beauty and the Beat” world tour begins.

Lot of things are going on at the same time, as always

Be well!

With love, Tarja

PR: TARJA ANNOUNCES NEW STUDIO ALBUM TO BE RELEASED IN AUGUST 2013
Posted March 18th, 2013 by Tarja & filed under News.

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.
The album, mixed by Tim Palmer (Pearl Jam, U2) is set to be Tarja’s next milestone for symphonic heavy rock thanks to a stellar line-up and a state of the art production.
Details about the first single and its video and the extensive worldwide tour will be revealed soon.

“ACT I” – the first rock release by Tarja on earMUSIC charted Top 10 all over Europe as well as almost all over the world, with a sensational no. 5 in Germany’s General Charts (a unique result for a live album). The video version even remained for over two months at the peak of the Finnish music video charts.

Fans will be able to follow Tarja‘s work and musical journey to her new album release on her website www.tarja2013.com.

And finally all the vocal recordings for the new CD are done!   

This is already enough good reason to open a bottle of wine to celebrate, as the feeling is that we are almost there…

I always love to experiment new things with my voice and this last song we recorded with my engineer in Buenos Aires, Mario, was not an exception.


This song I decided some time ago that it will be the closing track of the album. It was challenging to write about the story of “Medusa”.

Just before travelling to L.A. to work with Jim the orchestra and choir arrangements I run into Eugenio’s studio to take new promotional photos

With love, Tarja
