Talking about Anette Olzon’s first solo album, there is a name that can’t not be mentioned...
So let it be... Yes, Anette Olzon – as every metal fan knows – has been the front woman of Finnish symphonic-metal superstars Nightwish for five years before having to leave the band in late 2012.
Although the circumstances belong to the past and Anette is the kind of artist and person who only looks forward, it is a sure fact that those five years have established Anette - who was also the former vocalist of the Swedish rock formation Alyson Avenue - as one of the highlight of the rock
music map on a global scale. In other words, many music fans around the world will be interested in how it might sound, Anette Olzon solo and with her own songs. And finally, the time has come.
“Shine” has been produced with the collaboration of some of the most successful teams in rock and pop in Scandinavia: the producer Stefan Örn (songwriter and producer of the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest winning track ‘Running Scared’), Johan Glössner and co-produced by Anette Olzon and Johan Kronlund. The album was mixed by Kronlund, Nicklas Flykt and Ronny Lahti (known for his work with Loreen and Roxette).
