When the guys from Nightwish announced that they would cease working with Tarja Turunen last year (was it really last year?), the world was in shock. Well, not really. But Nightwish without Tarja? And what would she do? Well, this time I will only talk about the last question. She went off to do her own thing. Which in this case means asking for song-writers to send her material. And every good (and bad) album needs an associated tour of course. So when I read that she was playing in Berlin (interestingly I saw that in the discussion thread of the Nightwish concert which takes place next year in Berlin) I kind of felt obliged to go there too. After all, I do like her voice a lot.

Nonetheless I was quite sceptical. Not from the technical part, mind you. She can sing, no arguments here. But if the material is not good, the best voice cannot make it good. So I got one of the single versions of I walk alone and still wasn't convinced. It is a decent song, yes. But nothing too special. And the other song that is on the EP, Ciarán's Well, is rather mediocre, heavy, okay, but without soul.
