Shine

What does the first solo outing, 'Shine', of Anette Olzon sound like? Not like Nightwish, that's for sure. Neither like Alyson Avenue, the Swedish
Rock formation Anette was singing in before she joined Nightwish. Let's put it this way: From the defiant rocker 'Shine', via the mighty power anthems
'Falling' and 'Lies', where Anette makes the most of the enormous range of her beautiful voice, through to the saccharine ballads 'Moving Away'
and 'Floating', her debut presents everything a good album should have.
Shine has been produced with the collaboration of some of the most successful teams in rock and pop in Scandinavia: the producer Stefan –rn
(songwriter and producer of the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest winning track,
'Running Scared' ), Johan Gl¶ssner 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).
Whether we can define Shine a metal album, rock, pop, or pop rock, what would be hard to miss is how strong the songs are and what an extraordinary
album it is.
It exceptionally masters the borders between melancholy and hope, between fragility and power, because it showcases an artist who doesn't rest
on her laurels but heads boldly into the future. Because it shines.
