new vox

So 36-year old Swedish Anette Olzon is the new Nightwish vocalist, replacing Tarja Turunen who was unceremoniously kicked out of the band months ago. I'm listening to Amaranth right now, the single from the Finnish group's forthcoming album, Dark Passion Play, and although Anette's no Tarja (she sounds more like Cristina Scabbia to me), I'd say I like what I'm hearing. But of course these ears will miss Tarja's operatic croonings. Somehow, listening to Nightwish without Tarja takes getting used to.
