Alright, so Anette is a former singer for symphonic Finnish metallers Nightwish. I'm a sucker for symphonic metal, and I really liked the two albums that Anette sang on. She brought a more pop-style tone to the band after the operatic Tarja left. I'm interested to see what she does here. Let's get after it.
Anette Olson - Shine
Track 1 - Like A Show Inside My Head
(if I can get Play Music to play the damn thing)
Here we go. Immediate use of a violin makes me happy. The guitar lick is a bit corny. It's a slow droning song, pretty simple melody, drums with too many effects caked on, and layers of vocals. It pretty much sounds like she's trying to capitalize on the Evanescence formula, with isn't overly surprising since that formula has worked so well for female vocalists in hard rock. Honestly, I would've been happier if she'd just stuck with symphonic music and taken out the rock. Her voice is fantastic and I don't expect the remainder of the album will display anything differently. I'll be checking out the rest of this later, if only just to see if she gets creative with her voice. If you want to hear Anette full blast check out Nightwish - Dark Passion Play. The whole thing is great.
