WITHIN TEMPTATION new album

WITHIN TEMPTATION To Release Covers Album The Q-Music Sessions In April




The collaboration between Dutch symphonic rockers WITHIN TEMPTATION and
Q-Music gets a new episode: after the successful broadcast of several
covers, which Within Temptation arranged and performed for the radio
station by the end of 2012, the band will now release a selection of
these covers on an album titled The Q-Music Sessions on the 19th of
April in the Netherlands and Belgium.


In the run up to the 15th anniversary of Within Temptation in the
sold-out Sportpaleis in Antwerp, the band was asked by Q-Music to choose
and perform an existing track in a ‘Within Temptation-fashion’ on a
weekly basis. The band accepted this challenge enthusiastically that
resulted in reworks of hits by DAVID GUETTA, PASSENGER, LANA DEL REY and
BRUNO MARS amongst others. The feedback on these covers by the fans and
listeners of Q-Music was extremely positive, which made the band decide
to release a selection of the covers on an album.





Front-lady Sharon Den Adel comments: “Our approach was to really
make the cover a new Within Temptation song. So not going the easy way
by using only a piano or an acoustic guitar for example, but really
trying to put all the elements of a Within Temptation track in this new
version. It was quite a challenge because we had only one week to get it
right, while recording an original Within Temptation song can sometimes
takes up half a year! But this pressure also gave us a creative boost
and it was very rewarding to get it done in time each week. Also, we
learned a lot from the in-depth analysis we needed to make on these
hits, written by others, in combination with implementing our own sound
and style in each new cover. We are glad that we’ve taken up this
challenge and are very proud of the result.’’

At this moment, Within Temptation is working on their upcoming
studio album that is due in the last quarter of 2013. In January 2014,
the band will embark on a worldwide tour, with tickets for shows in the
United Kingdom, France and Germany already on sale.
