Tarja “Colours In The Dark” Special Edition Cover Artwork
Dear friends!
Greetings from Saint Petersburg. Here the Beauty and The Beat concert was held in a really beautiful venue and was sold out.
It has been amazing to perform these cross over shows again with Mike. We have been having such a great time with the orchestras and choirs! The atmospheres in all the concerts have been very special. Thank you for all those “bravos” Saint Petersburg!
We started our journey from Bucharest where we tried to do the show some weeks ago, but unfortunately needed to postpone it due to my illness. This time I was still recovering, but we managed to do the show and saw how the place was packed with enthusiastic Romanians. This definitely was the biggest show I have ever done in Romania, so it makes me very happy. And the love was definitely in the air!
After Romania we travelled to Wroclaw, Poland. I was happy to visit this city for the first time ever. We performed with the academy orchestra and they played very well. It was fun to perform with young and talented people. We really had a great time with these lovely people and the Polish audience. I felt very welcome in Wroclaw and the concert made me realize that I have to make more shows in Poland in the future. Very nice feeling!
Poland was left behind and after another a couple of flights we arrived to Moscow, Russia.
Russians really play music with emotions, wow! The orchestra conductor is not speaking English, but we manage with German! Hehehe.
Great, great concert in Moscow and again I received hundreds of flowers from the lovely audience. Russians, you are crazy with the flowers! 🙂
Today we’ll travel to Tallinn, Estonia where we are going to play tomorrow. It is going to be my third time in Estonia, so cannot wait to see what happens.
Tomorrow, Monday 20th, we are going to disclose you the second album cover for the Special Edition of “Colours in the dark”, so come back to check it at www.tarja2013.com
With love, Tarja
Read morePre-order coming soon! Stay tuned for updates! Release: August 2013
Following up on the success of the multi-platinum and gold awarded previous records “My Winterstorm” (2007) and “What Lies Beneath” (2010), Tarja finally returns with her long-awaited new rock album. “Colours In The Dark” will be released on August 23rd, 2013 via earMUSIC, the label which also released “Act I”.
Mixed by Tim Palmer in Austin, Texas (Pearl Jam, U2), the songs on “Colours In The Dark” do not shy away from taking a risk and surprising musical turns, introducing new sounds and new musical atmospheres. Still, they maintain a heaviness that will surely bring a big smile to the hardest of rockers.
With its grand orchestra and choir arrangements, Tarja’s next milestone emphasises once again the impressive vocal range of the Finnish artist and shows her artistic growth.
With ten brand new songs and over one hour of music, “Colours In The Dark” is definitely going to be one of the brightest moments for rock in 2013.
Tarja will perform the songs from “Colours In The Dark Tour 2013” starting with her forthcoming tour in Europe.
Tarja Colours In The Dark Album Cover Standard Edition
The first day of rehearsals for the Beauty and the Beat concert in Moscow is over.
Everything is going fine. We will play 4 concerts with the same orchestra and choir what is very nice. They will be with us in Saint Petersburg, Tallinn and Helsinki.
This will be the last post you will read until Thursday 16th when the artwork cover for “Colours in the Dark” will be disclosed in this web page.
Hoping that you will like what you’ll see, I’ll leave you with the name of the last new song in my album: Mystique Voyage.
With love, Tarja

Here you have one more title for the weekend:
Deliverance
And a fragment of the lyrics:
…far away to heaven
I run with the wind
that’s how I begin
road to my deliverance..
with love, Tarja
Read moreDear Fans,
As the title already clearly points out, you can expect a dark album, but filled with colours.
And for the third time the album title comes from a line of one of the songs.
This song is called “Until Silence” and here you can find a piece of the lyrics.
I saw our memories die
thought our dreams had lost their meaning
but dreams still in my heart
are painting colours in the dark
with love, Tarja

Despite her light and shiny personality, Tarja’s music has always been dressed “in black” – the colour of heavy rock, of mystery and elegance.
With Tarja’s new album, fans will find out what happens when a splice of colour is added to the mix. Or – better said – when the full colour spectrum enters the picture it does not cover the black but makes it shine through with many emotions and landscapes.
Following up on the success of the multi-platinum and gold awarded previous records “My Winterstorm” (2007) and “What Lies Beneath” (2010), Tarja finally returns with her long-awaited new rock album. “Colours In The Dark” will be released on August 23rd, 2013 via earMUSIC, the label which also released the top 5 live project “Act 1”.
Mixed and mastered by Tim Palmer in Austin, Texas (Pearl Jam, U2), the songs on “Colours In The Dark” do not shy away from taking a risk and surprising musical turns, introducing new sounds and new musical atmospheres. Still, they maintain a heaviness that will surely bring a big smile to the hardest of rockers.
With its grand orchestra and choir arrangements, Tarja’s next milestone emphasises once again the impressive vocal range of the Finnish artist and shows her artistic growth.
With ten brand new songs and over one hour of music, “Colours In The Dark” is definitely going to be one of the brightest moments for rock in 2013.
Fans should make sure to check the regularly updated website www.tarja-coloursinthedark.com on which Tarja personally posts blog-entries about the recording process of the new album, revealing song titles and lyrics and keeps in touch with her fans.
Tarja will perform the songs from “Colours In The Dark Tour 2013” starting with her forthcoming tour in Germany.
