NIGHTWISH singer Anette Olzon has tapped Swedish producer/songwriter Anders Bagge to write material for her upcoming solo album, which she plans to record during the band's downtime in early 2010.

Commented Olzon: [Bagge] is a very famous and incredibly talented songwriter. He has done so many hit songs and has been working with MADONNA, CELINE DION, JANET JACKSON, JESSICA SIMPSON and many, many more. He is also one of the jury members in Swedish 'Idol' [TV talent competition] and a show called 'Made in Sweden'. He is a true CANNIBAL CORPSE lover and rock lover.

"At the moment, he has done some albums and one of the bands he is doing at the moment are called APOLLO DRIVE. I really liked the songs he played and the first single, 'Time', is a bit heavier and I like it!

"Me and Petri [H. Lundén, Anette's manager] came to [Bagge's] big house [on Thursday, August 27] and had a meeting with him and his two co-writer team. It was a really fun and crazy moment. Anders is a really funny guy and I laughed all the time.

"I am looking forward to do songs now and I believe this will be great."

Olzon performed on August 13, 2009 with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra at a special concert in Stockholm, Sweden as part of the Stockholms Kulturfestival (Stockholm's Culture Festival). According to Anette, "The evening [was] in the theme of Sweden-Finland and it [was] called Suomi Safari. There [was] a big symphonic orchestra, choir and more soloists that have something to do with Finland."

Video footage of Anette's performance can be viewed below.

Olzon recently wrote a blog entry on her official web site where whe talked about singing technique. She said, "It's hard to go in to exactly what I do when I sing since some things are 'by nature' and just come naturally but, of course, a lot of things are what I have learned earlier in vocal lessons and also during my career as the singer in NIGHTWISH where my voice is needed to be able to sing many high-pitched songs for 1.5 hours many nights a week.

"First of all, what I use most when I sing is a technique called 'belting.' For you who don't know what kinda vocal sound types normally are talked about, there are different sounds and techniques to use when singing. This technique is a way to come very high up by pushing the vocal cords together, slamming them against each other, so that no air at all can leak through. If any air leaks through, it can make the voice soar and aching. I do this technique also by thinking that I lift my upper lift upwards, kinda showing my teeth and a good sound to practise for it is to imitate an evil witch. You know the evil laughter. Also imitating a car like: öhrn, öhrn, öhrn... as a car accelerating forward. These things make me lift the lip and close the cords. Of course there are so many more things to do to make this technique perfect but that's an easier way to explain what I do."

In an interview with Classic Rock's Dave Ling, NIGHTWISH keyboardist/mainman Tuomas Holopainen was asked if alarm bells rang when, echoing her predecessor, Olzon recently hired a personal manager (Swedish management company Hagenburg Management, which also represents EUROPE and THE CARDIGANS). "At the beginning I had a feeling of déjà vu," he replied. "But when we discussed it I understood that she needs somebody who speaks her own language [Swedish]. Her manager is a very, very reasonable guy."

When asked how Anette is handling the fame, Tuomas replied, "She has told me a couple of times that she might not be able to handle it, on top of her divorce. I've seen her close to collapse and it has scared me, so we are protecting her."

This Time Nobody Will Be Fired

Nigthwish's two year world tour will be over on Saturday. The band has played 196 concerts. Dark Passion Play was released two years ago and with it the band has reached a peg higher stages.

Audiences came bigger as did the amount of fans. Tuomas Holopainen has got new fans like Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead, Steve Harris from Iron Maiden and Ozzy Osborne from Black Sabbath.

They have seen among the audience, for example, the Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi. And Britney Spears have used Nightwish's music as an intro in her gigs. She didn't ask the composer's permission, but this time it's not a problem.

- We're just flattered that they wanted to use our music, says Tuomas Holopainen.


The Abyss Was Passed

The now ending two year world tour has been both rewarding and tough for Nightwish. The tour has reached North and South America, Australia, Europe and Asia. Only Africa was missed. The new countries in the tour map are China, Latvia, Luxemburg, Ireland, Serbia and Croatia.

- These two years went fast. I remember it like yesterday when we went to the first training concert to Tallinn, says Tuomas Holopainen.

At that point Holopainen was slightly worried about how the audience receives Nigthwish and the new vocalist.

- Uppermost I now have a proud and happy feeling that we survived from the maelstrom. I'm happy that our audience was so open-minded that they gave us the second chance and that they arrived to concerts. It's a deep relief that we passed that abyss.

By abyss Tuomas Holopainen means changing Tarja Turunen to Anette Olzon. According to Tuomas Holopainen, Anette is now completely integrated with the band.

- I feel that during the last few months she has realized what this all is about and how to deal with it. Anette has improved all the time towards the end of the tour. The future of the band looks excellent.

And when the future looks good, this means that there won't be any dramatic news after the last concert in Hartwall Areena. All band members will continue in the band.

- This time we're going to have better feelings after the tour. After the Hartwall concert we have decided to have a huge party. Then we're going to reset the situation, go to separate ways and return together in the beginning of the next year. We want to take some distance to Nigthwish.

Holopainen himself goes sailing to the Mediterranean Sea for one week in the beginning of October. Soon after that he is going to spend a few weeks in Australia with his friends.


Heavy Price

Of course there are some bad moments too in the two year world tour.

- Some band members and technicians had mental breakdowns, because of the certain sad things in private life. In two of these about 200 concerts we had severe technical problems, but in the end we managed to play in those concerts too, says Holopainen about bad moments of the tour.

- Heavy tour will always have its price. In a big group of people there is always someone who have some problems. These things happen when you spend a lot of time on the road. People don't seem to be able to resist it. Some long-term relationships have ended and it's always sad. But despite the problems I'll grade this tour A-. These two years were an unbeliveable journey.

One thing Tuomas Holopainen promises to his crew.

- We will never again have as hard a tour. The next tour will be planned a bit easier.


The Band Has Been Prepared For Setbacks

The journey of Nightwish has been quite a fairy tail compared to many other bands. The band has become more and more popular after each album.

How would a band, that has always become more popular, even react if they had some setbacks?

- At some point we will have to face some setbacks and we have been prepared for it. So far, we've made six studio albums and we've always went forward. We agree that it's unbelievable, says Tuomas Holopainen.

- We've also been able to take new steps in the evolution of our music. We've always entered to some new territories without losing the soul of the band.

Tuomas Holopainen doesn't believe that Nightwish would be in a crisis if the later albums didn't sell as much as Once and Dark Passion Play that have sold about one million copies each.

- I would be more worried and depressed if I listened to the new album for the first time and realized that it's crap.

Dark Passion Play sold more than Tuomas Holopainen expected.

- It feels unimaginable that in this digital era it has sold 130,000 copies in Finland.

Globally the latest album has sold a bit less than one million copies. The previous album Once has sold a bit more than one million. Totally Nightwish albums have sold about 4 to 5 million copies.


Four Songs Ready

Four songs are ready for the new album. The album should be ready in autumn 2011 if everything goes as planned.

- In July we will begin to work with new material. Then we will have about ten months to finalize the songs. Now I've got a huge drive, all these ideas are making me crazy. I've never before been so excited about the new album, says Holopainen.

Tuomas Holopainen keeps the content of the new music a secret, but he is willing to open the curtain a little bit.

- One of the four new songs is something completely different for us. I've never done anything like that before, says Tuomas Holopainen.


Random Facts

Обалдеть, вот это цифра... Немного не дотянули до двух сотен) Не хватало Питера, Киева и Минска в списке концертов

Академ. вокал был, гроул был, оркестр, волынка, индеец, хор... Может, что-то джазовое, или дуэт с кем-то необычным...
