Hard and very honest album, "In The Raw" - the seventh solo singer Tarja Turunen. Three years after the release of "The Shadow Self" (2016) artist releases a rock album, which, in her words, "as ever, bares her soul". The new LP reveals a real world Tarja – its true, very vulnerable and aggressive nature. On the album loud metal guitar riffs blend harmoniously with valkyrians voice of Tarja, emphasizing its three-Octava power. The texts are full of details from his personal life. "The guitar sound on the album is very straightforward, says Tarja. — Hits the nail on the head! It is ideal for a strong voice that needs to something no less powerful was behind him."
When you create "In the Raw", the artist was inspired by the famous saying about gold, "all is Not gold that glitters." "Not all gold glitters necessarily, says Tarja. — When we think about this noble metal, we make something perfect, refined luxury. But in its natural state it is rough natural material". The singer has applied this idea to themselves and to the new album. By analogy, "In the Raw" represents the innate aggressive and vulnerable at the same time the essence of Tarja. On the new disc, her refined and noble academic voice frames coarse and heavy music core.
The lead single to the album was the song "Dead Promises", released on April 30. In the recording of "In The Raw" was attended by Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil, Bjorn Strid from Soilwork, and Tommy Karevik from Kamelot.
