TARJA TURUNEN Shares Previously Unreleased Song 'Eye Of The Storm' From Upcoming 'Best Of: Living The Dream' Collection

Former NIGHTWISH singer Tarja Turunenwill release her first-ever "best-of" collection, "Best Of: Living The Dream", on December 2 via earMUSIC.

A track from the collection, Tarja's previously unreleased song "Eye Of The Storm", has been made available and can be streamed below.

"It was the right time to finally release this song," Tarja explains. "It has a very deep feeling of closure in it. It's been influenced by two very important countries in my life: Finland and Argentina. It's an internal battle inside of me. Because at that time in life, I was really searching for my place in this world, where I belong as a person, as an individual."

Looking back on 15 extremely successful years of the Finnish singer's solo career, the "Best Of" contains not only Tarja's most well-known tracks, many of them newly remastered at Sterling Sound, and personal favorites from all six studio albums — "My Winter Storm", "What Lies Beneath", "Colours In The Dark", "The Brightest Void", "The Shadow Self" and "In The Raw" — but also the aforementioned "Eye Of The Storm".

"After all these years, I still really can't believe it's time for me to release a proper 'Best Of' album," Tarja says. "So many beautiful moments, unbelievable. It has been a dream to put together this collection. And I really hope that you will enjoy this as much as I did while making it."

The compilation was hand-picked by Tarja herself and will be released in a wide variety of formats, each featuring exclusive rarities and/or the previously unreleased two-hour "Circus Life" concert, which is eagerly awaited by fans, as well as upgraded versions of Tarja's music videos. Rounded out by high-quality artwork, deluxe liner notes, and many formats to choose from, this collection is a delight for casual fans, as well as superfans.

The standard version of the CD and vinyl contains 16 tracks (including the brand new single) as well as deluxe liner notes. The strictly limited mediabook holds 13 further tracks and the previously unreleased, two-hour live show "Circus Life". The strictly limited box set contains an additional 19 tracks selection of Tarja's projects including OUTLANDERS, four picture discs, six art prints, two posters, and a fine art print signed by Tarja.

Record Store Day celebrated its Tenth Anniversary in April. The initiative, which offers exclusive releases to independent music shops, offers a Black Friday shopping spree to music nerds just in time for Christmas. The 2018 Record Store Day Black Friday list was recently released, offering another fun collection of albums.

Some of the highlights from the Black Friday selections include A-listers like Hank Williams, Taylor Swift, and Paul McCartney. Collective Soul is releasing a silver anniversary edition of their debut album. Disney and jazz fans can enjoy a re-issue of Duke Ellington Plays With The Original Motion Picture Score Mary Poppins.

There are more than anniversary editions and Disney covers this year. The 2018 list includes interesting remixes, covers, archival discoveries. Here are some of the most enticing options for this year:

The Best Of The Record Store Day Black Friday 2018 List

*RSD-first indicates albums that are sold in independent stores before being made available for a wider release.

Cheap Trick, The Epic Archive (1980-1983) – Covers of The Beatles and The Yardbirds, remixes, and rarities from Cheap Trick’s heyday comprise a 16-track album. The Epic Archive is the second such Cheap Trick compilation associated with Record Store Day.

Chris Cornell, When Bad Does Good – The Soundgarden/Audioslave frontman passed away in 2017, leaving behind an incredible discography. This RSD-first 7” contains the unreleased song “When Bad Does Good” and Temple of the Dog’s “Stargazer (live from the Paramount).”

Difford And Difford & Tilbrook With ?uestlove And Robert Glasper, Take Me I’m Yours – Squeeze and The Roots don’t sound like a match, but ?uestlove has a way of creating magic. The RSD-first 45 features rock/electronic and instrumental recordings of the single “Take Me I’m Yours.”

Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein, Stranger Things Halloween Sounds Of The Upside Down – Unfortunately Netflix did not produce another season of Stranger Things this Halloween. The sci-fi series is on hold until 2019.

You can still get a Stranger Things fix on Black Friday. Produced by the same geniuses who created the Stranger Things score, Halloween Sounds Of The Upside Down is a 14-track picture disc curated for future Halloweens.

Hozier, Nina Cried Power – Hozier’s single “Take Me To Church” vaulted the singer into stardom in 2014. Four years later, Hozier is putting out his first new music since his debut album on Black Friday. The RSD exclusive EP Nina Cried Power contains five songs (contributions from Booker T. Jones and Mavis Staples).

The Joy Formidable, The Better Me / Dance Of The Lotus – The Welsh band are one of my favorites. They could not have been nicer when I met them at a previous event at Philadelphia’s Main Street Music. The band are releasing a 7” exclusive for Record Store Day with two singles from their album AARTH: “The Better Me” and “Dane Of The Lotus.”

Tom Morello, The Atlas Underground (Instrumentals) – The Audioslave/Rage Against The Machine member is releasing the instrumental album The Atlas Underground. The 12-track LP includes collaborations with Gary Clark Jr., Portugal the Man, and Marcus Mumford. This RSD-first release is a unique gift for aspiring guitar players. A guitar tab booklet is included with the record.

U2, Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me – As far as Nineties soundtracks go, the Batman Forever album earned a lot of radio time. Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Seal, and the Flaming Lips all contributed to the soundtrack. U2 notched a number one hit with their single “Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me.”

The double-A RSD-first 12” sports a remaster of U2’s 1995 single. It also has a St. Francis Hotel remix of the song. Gavin Friday and Arcade Fire’s Régine Chassagne were added to the vocals on the new version.

Various Artists, Mom + Pop 10 Year Anniversary Compilation – To mark their tenth anniversary, the Mom + Pop label is putting out a three-disc RSD-first album. Artists on the compilation include Courtney Barnett, Metric, Sleigh Bells, Polica, Tom Morello, Sunflower Bean, and Andrew Bird.

Weezer, Africa (Shaped Picture Disc Vinyl) – Weezer just does things differently. The rock band made Internet waves in 2018 with a cover of Toto’s “Africa.” If the weird sensation surrounding the garage rock cover was not enough, the group is releasing a 10” picture disc on Black Friday that has Weezer’s cover of the Toto singles “Africa” and “Rosanna.”
