I recently spoke to former Nightwish vocalist Tarja Turunen during her very brief trip to London to promote her forthcoming album – Colours in the dark. We discussed the writing process for the album, the choice of ‘Victims of ritual’ as the first single, her touring plans both with her ‘Beauty and the beat’ project and for her new album, working with Mike Oldfield, her upcoming headline appearance at MFVF (where she performs the same day as Floor Jansen’s band Revamp), and more.
