"Jag bröt ett revben och fick skjuta på inspelningen"
Några frågor till Anette Olzon, sångerska i Nightwish, som precis varit i Finland och lagt sång på bandets kommande album "Imaginarium" i Petraxstudion i Helsingfors.
Bildmaterial
Helsingborgs mest kända rockartist, Anette Olzon, har precis blivit klar med sången till Nightwish nästa album.
Nöje. Hur har det gått?
– Det gick jättebra och väldigt smidigt. Vi behövde inte alla tio dagarna utan var klara på åtta och det var ingen stress alls. Jag kan ju låtarna väldigt bra och kom väl förberedd så det underlättar mycket.
Hur låter det?
– Jag tycker det låter fantastiskt allting. Bättre än "Dark passion play", enligt mitt tycke.
Ni fick skjuta upp inspelningarna för att du skadat dig. Vad hände?
– Jag skulle resa mig upp med min son Nemo på armen, snubblade på en av hans rullande leksaker och i fallet landade jag på en annan av hans träleksaker, en stor låda. Den träffade så olyckligt att jag bröt ett revben och fick skjuta på inspelningen.
Du har nyligen lagt ut en av dina klänningar på en nätauktion där pengarna går till människor i Japan som drabbats av jordbävningen och tsunamin. Berätta lite mer om det?
– Det var en uppmaning från Meja och Growyn att Sveriges artister skulle bidra med saker till en välgörenhetsauktion för Japan och självklart ville jag bidra. Japan har välkomnat oss och jag uppskattar verkligen landet och dess invånare.
Hur ser schemat ut för din del för sommaren och hösten?
– Nästa vecka ska jag debutera som föreläsare tre dagar på en kulturvecka i Nynäshamn. Där jag ska prata inför en massa högstadieelever om min resa från osäker tonåring till världskänd sångerska. Sedan ska jag vara ledig med barnen hela sommaren innan vi i augusti ska spela in vår film "Imaginarium" (filmen är en del av albumprojektet och ska regisseras av Stobe Harju). Oktober och november blir det promotionresa för skivan och sedan repetitioner i december. Mer än så har jag inte planerat just nu.
Ni har världspremiär på turnén i början av nästa år. Vad har du för känslor inför det?
– Det ska bli kul och denna gång tar jag med mig min minsta son och sambo på resorna så det blir nytt. Turnén blir kortare och jag tror vi alla i bandet kommer må mycket bättre av det.
Translation to english:
"I think it all sounds amazing"
Some questions to Anette Olzon, singer in Nightwish, who just came back from Finland, where she recorded her vocals for their upcoming album "Imaginarium" in Petrax studio in Helsinki.
How did it go?
- It went really well and really smooth. We didnt need all of the 10 days, only 8 and there were no stress at all. I know the songs really well and came well prepared which helps a lot.
How does it sound?
- I think everything sounds amazing. Better than Dark Passion play, in my opinion.
You had to postpone the recordings after you injured yourself. What happened?
- I was gonna stand up, having my son Nemo in my arms, when I tripped on one of his toys and in the fall I landed on one of his other toys, a big wooden box. It hit me so bad that I broke a rib and had to postpone the recordings.
You recently put out one of your dresses at an auction site where the money are going to people in Japan who suffers from the earthquake and tsunami. Tell me some more about that?
- It was an encouragement from Meja and Growyn to all of Swedens artists to contribute with things for a charity auction for Japan and of course I wanted to contribute. Japan has welcomed us and I really appreciate the country and its citizens.
What´s your schedule for the summer and autumn?
- Next week I am gonna have my debute as a lecturer for three days in a so called "culture week" in Nynäshamn. I´m gonna speak in front of a lot of high school students about my journey from an insecure teenager to a world famous singer. Then I´ll just spend the summer with my children all summer before we start to record our movie "Imaginarium" in august (the movie is a part of the album and will be directed by Stobe Harju). In october and november we´ll do a promotion trip for the album and then rehearsals in december. More than that I havent planned at the moment.
You´re having your world premiere of your tour in the beginning of next year. What are your feelings about that?
- It´ll be fun and this time I´ll bring my youngest son and partner on the journeys and that´s a new thing. The tour will be shorter and I think all of us in the band will feel much better because of that.
Sooo eager for this album Anette!
ReplyDeleteHope all is well :)

ReplyDeleteNice interview Anette, and thank you so much for translating it for us. You know, I have some fav bands, Nightwish being one of them, but of all the artist that I love, you may be the only one that cares so much for all of us, your fans, and you keep us update with what you do every day, it is very very lovely! I also read the blog of Simone Simons, but it is totally not the same. You make your blog so "warm", so familiar, I just love to open up my internet browser and read some of the news you have for us..
ReplyDeleteAgain, thank you so much for this !
Well, about me, tomorrow I'll start working as a accesory seller on a shop called Lounge, and it feels amazing! I'm totally excited about this!
So well, I hope you & me both have a very beautiful day tomorrow!
Take care !
Xoxo!
Morning Anette:)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing and translating your April interview. Found it informative and delightful. Thank you!
Have the best day possible, and enjoy!
lots of love,
Gary
"The tour will be shorter": you mean less dates in 2 years or less months touring? The first solution would be sad, but I understand ;)
ReplyDeleteHey A. What I'm about to tell has nothing to do with you or your article, I'm sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm having a terrible time right now.I just broke up with my 3-year boyfriend and it feels like my whole world is falling apart.I have a job I hate but that I have to keep cause I need money.I dream of singing but can't find a good band.
It's like nothing in my life makes me happy and when I see how perfect your life is I wonder if you had as rough times.
I miss him, I used to call him when I was sad and now he's out of my life. We both feel miserable, I want to go back in time and I can't. I had break-ups in the past but now it feels like dying...
You probably won't care but this was a cry for help.

thanks for translation :)
ReplyDeleteSwedish seems like hard language.. I think I could never learn it XD
Really a nice interview. There are some little details about the schedule of Nightwish for the next months that are quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteGreetings :)
Hi!
ReplyDeleteLoved the photos, I have seen it when I was searching some of your photos, I really like them.
And I loved this interview, you said Imaginarium is better than Dark Passion Play, so I'm excited to listen it! :D
And I'm really excited to watch the movie soon, looks it will be great, just amazing, I really want to watch it.
Thanx for the translation, kisses and Hugs.
