Laurenne / Louhimo - 'Falling Through Stars' (music video)

I’ve bid my tongue right from the beginning
Yes, i’ve had to hold it still
Everybody’s looking like they’re on to something
Go in for the kill

Riding on for the prophecy once given
I’m trying to hide my gist
Can’t be found ’fore the demolition hammer has pound it’s fist

Look how i’m flying
Burning while gliding

Stand out
No doubt
Nobody hears the shout
The warning comes as purple rain
Stand out
Be proud
Learning to ride it out
Falling through stars’s my favourite pain

Whatever you might think of yourself
And no matter how much you think it hurts
It’s simply never too much

So you’re scared i’ll be closin’ in on the sun
And i’ll be suddenly out of reach
You’re so blind to the lessons that’s been given
I got to preach

Tired of hearing all rationalization on why it can’t be done
Save your breath for the others in the black-out
You’re light years from the fun

Look how i’m flying
Burning while gliding high

Stand out
No doubt
Nobody hears the shout
The warning comes as purple rain
Stand out
Be proud
Learning to ride it out
Falling through stars’s my favourite pain

We were lost
But we all learned to fight
We know well
We know the wrong from the right
We will fly
Ten thousand lightyears away from earth
At the speed of light

Stand out
No doubt
Nobody hears the shout
The warning comes as purple rain
Stand out
Be proud
Learning to ride it out
Falling through stars’s my favourite pain

Την πρωτακούσαμε το 2008 στο τραγούδι των Dreamtale "No Angels No More" και στους Revolution Renaissance του Timo Tolkki (χορωδιακά φωνητικά στο μουσικό κομμάτι "Revolution Renaissance").

Ακολούθησαν το 2011 οι Amorphis ("The Beginning of Times") και οι Battle Beast (δεύτερα φωνητικά στα τραγούδια "Armageddon Clan", "Show Me How to Die"). Ο λόγος για την τραγουδίστρια και ηθοποιό Netta Laurenne, η οποία προ δεκαετίας δημιούργησε τους Smackbound.

Η Noora Louhimo μας έρχεται επίσης από την Φινλανδία. Έγινε κυρίως γνωστή μέσω των Battle Beast, των οποίων την τραγουδίστρια αποτελεί από το 2012. Παράλληλα έχει εμφανισθεί -ως καλεσμένη (guest)- σε πληθώρα δίσκων συγκροτημάτων όπως οι Grave Digger, οι HammerFall, οι Magnus Karlsson's Free Fall, οι Crystal Ball, οι Heart Healer, οι Black Sun κλπ.

Προ εξαετίας, το 2019, οι δύο Φινλανδέζες τραγουδίστριες ένωσαν τις δυνάμεις τους δημιουργώντας το συγκρότημα Laurenne / Louhimo. Το ντεμπούτο τους ("The Reckoning") κυκλοφόρησε προ τετραετίας και ο διάδοχός του βρίσκεται προ των πυλών.

"Falling Through Stars" ο τίτλος, αποτελείται από ένδεκα τραγούδια και αναμένεται (σε cd, βινύλιο και σε ψηφιακή μορφή) σε λίγες ημέρες (18 Απριλίου 2025) μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Frontiers Music srl...

Δελτίο τύπου: «One of the most exciting new projects on Frontiers Music Srl, created by the label president Serafino Perugino, the collaboration between powerhouse Finnish vocalists Noora Louhimo (Battle Beast) and Netta Laurenne (Smackbound), under the banner Laurenne / Louhimo, is finally back with the second album “Falling Through Stars”.

This second chapter deliver a full-force metal assaults with the power to blow you away with rasps and soaring screams as well as delicate acoustic moments. Laurenne / Louhimo offer listeners a mix of heavy metal and hard rock tracks that explores the variety of the genre, while maintaining a straightforward, easy-to-enjoy appeal.

“Falling Through Stars” has shades of all eras of Rainbow here and there as well as Judas Priest and many other 80’s Icons of the style, all these influences are expertly filtered into Netta and Noora way of composing music.

The idea about the possible collaboration between Netta and Noora came to reality once the pandemic started and cleared out calendars for both the artists, it felt like a perfect time to start the project and share all the common things they have, from the same original town to the similar idols and influences.

The main highlights of the album are, naturally, the vocal melodies created and shared by Netta Laurenne and Noora Louhimo.

The album has been once again produced at the Sonic Pump studio under the guidance of Nino Laurenne (that also played the guitars and contributed to the songwriting) and the production is clear, powerful and gives the deserved value to the two stars here.»
