Rob Reed-
“It’s been a while since Magenta have released a new studio album. As always, I’ve been busy with various other projects and have been waiting to find something new to say musically for the new album. We have released so many CDs, EPs and DVDs over the last 25 years, and I always aim to ensure every album is different and the sound ever evolving.
This time I decided that I would write the material to suit Tina’s voice and during the writing process it became easy to imagine her singing it. Usually, I would just write the songs and hope that it was in her range. We took a lot of time making sure the songs were in the right key to get the most out of her voice.
Musically I decided that I would look back to what the blueprint was when we started Magenta back 2001. I was, and still am, a massive fan of Renaissance, and when we made Revolutions, I was very much influenced by their unique sound. So, on this project I really wanted to have one distinct style, a mix of orchestra, guitars and keyboards but with the bass guitar loud and proud.
I’m very pleased by what we’ve achieved and think that ‘Tarot’ is the most coherent and consistent Magenta album to date and can’t wait to unleash it to the world.”
