Symphonic rock band Within Temptation release their ‘Paradise (What About Us?)’ EP today, Friday September 27, featuring a unique collaboration with Finnish rock diva, Tarja Turunen guesting on the title-track.
Speaking about the track, Within Temptation's vocalist Sharon den Adel,says: “When we had written the first version of Paradise and listened back to the demo we’d recorded and the epic power of the song, we thought of Tarja instantly. How well this track would fit her classical voice and how extra special it would be if we sang it together. The more we thought about this wild idea, the more excited we got about it!”
Tarja added: “It was very nice to finally meet Sharon and the Within Temptation guys. I truly appreciate the invitation and the opportunity to work with them on their song Paradise. So wonderful that they thought of me! I hope our fans will like this ‘girl power’ duet!”
The EP contains three additional tracks - demo versions of brand new songs intended for a forthcoming album. The demos include Let Us Burn, Silver Moonlight, and Dog Days.
Within Temptation's Robert Westerholt revealed: “For the first time, Within Temptation will release an album with several artistic collaborations, some of which will be seen as groundbreaking for our band and musical style.”
Consequently, the recording and production of what will be the band's sixth studio album is still underway. With a release date set for end of January 2014, the band have been forced to reschedule the previously announced first leg of their worldwide tour to allow time to rehearse the live show and prepare for the album’s release.
Tickets that have been purchased already will remain valid for the rescheduled dates.
