Tarja drops a new album titled In The Raw. Listing 10 songs, the new music project is available for download and streaming. The follow-up to her 2016’s The Shadow Self “was to bring out the idea of rawness to match the feelings Tarja was having from the very beginning of the process” with the lyrics said to be deeply personal.
The album version of Dead Promises will feature Soilwork’s Björn “Speed” Strid, with Cristina Scabbia and Tommy Karevik also lending their talents to In The Raw.
Speaking about Dead Promises, Tarja said: “I really like how the guitar sounds – in your face. If I’m singing powerfully, I need something powerful behind me so that I don’t feel like I am left alone.”
