Nightwish - Anette Olson a nova vocalista

Os Nightwish têm já oficialmente a substituta para a Tarja Turunen, ela é Anette Olson, uma sueca de 35 anos. Segundo ela, as suas músicas preferidas dos Nightwish são do novo albúm, repectivamente, "Ever Dream" e "Higher than Hope". Em termos literários refere como livros favoritos, "Veronica decide morrer” de Paulo Coelho e "Anjos e Demónios" de Dan Brown. Musicalmente, Annete tem alguma experiência devido ao facto de ter crescido numa famíla com backgound musical, embora estejamos perante a sua estreia em termos de gothic metal/metal, com os nightwish: “My mom also forced me to play the oboe for 8 years! I toured constantly with my mom and her band in my childhood, sometimes I even sang on stage with them. […] I joined my first real band when I was 17, it was a cover band and all the other musicians were older than me. After playing cover songs, I joined a band called Alyson Avenue, first just as a studio singer, later as their leading lady. We've released 2 albums since 2000. At the age of 21, I played the leading role in a rock opera/musical called "Gränsland" in Helsingborg. After that I got in to the Balettakademien in Gothenburg. In addition to the already mentioned, I've been in several other bands over the years, I've sung in choirs, done studio work for various projects and I've even occasionally been a wedding singer. Recently I sang a duet with Michael Bormann (ex-Jaded Heart-singer) on his album "Conspiracy". During my singing career I've sung nearly every kind of music that there is! In my earlier days I took singing lessons at the Copenhagen Music Conservatorie, in Helsingör, Denmark with a private teacher. Nowadays, when its needed, I take lessons from a private teacher at the Malmö Music University.” As lições ser-lhe-ão, certamente, convenientes se não desejar permanecer na sombra da voz singular de Tarja, imagem de marca dos Nightwish.
