Musical Style

According to sources, the theme of the album is much darker than previous Turunen recordings, including those with Nightwish. The songs are more personal to Tarja now although none of them are directly written about her departure from Nightwish. The lead single "I Walk Alone", however, is about the support she received from fans in the time after her departure from the band.

Promotional Events

Tarja took part in a promotional "meet and greet" in London on Sunday, September 16, 2007. Tarja was present to answer the questions of the 20 or so fans that won a chance to attend. During the event, 8 songs from the album were played, as well as the music.

There were mixed reactions to some of the songs but overall the album was met with great excitement from everybody there.[citation needed]
