Combining magic and retrofuturistic concepts, the Trapézia project
launches the version of “Ever Dream” by Nightwish. The artist, who recently
released her conceptual debut EP entitled 'ECILA', garners much praise from
the critics.
The song "Ever Dream" was released in 2012 as the lead single from the band's
fourth studio album, 'Century Child', which turns 20 in May.
“I really enjoy Nightwish's songs, without using lyrical singing as they
normally do when interpreting songs in this style, I like the challenge of
giving a new look to the music, always trying to leave my identity in the
interpretation. I really like singing 'Ever Dream' and 'Nemo' for example,
even though some Nightwish fans don't really like these songs because they
don't classify them as complex songs to perform", comments Thaís Lyrica.
Currently Thais takes singing lessons with Alírio Netto (current vocalist of
Shaman) and has developed her technique of contemporary belting. The idea in
"Ever Dream" is to bring the voice as close to the speech as possible (this is
the concept of the belting technique), and the big challenge in this song, as
in "Nemo", is the big jump of tonality change at the end. of the song and this
makes the song interesting. “I was inspired by the way Floor Jansen sings
'Ever Dream', in the classic performance at Wacken 2013 and it's a great
reference for which way I want to go, Floor Jansen herself says that 'Ever
Dream' is a high performance song when I live because of this vocal
difficulty. Tarja Turunen's interpretation follows the line of lyrical
singing, which I love, but this time I set myself as a challenge to use
everything I've learned about contemporary belting, I studied lyrical singing
for a short period and, for me, it's the most easy and within my comfort zone
to sing 'Ever Dream' or any other song that follows this line. I really like
to overcome my own barriers”, concludes Thaís Lyrica.
An authorial project of melodic metal, Trapézia was founded by artist Thaís
Lyrica, who has been in contact with music from a very young age, influenced
by her father, who was a musician. She began her singing studies at age 16,
but she only started to dedicate herself to singing lessons in 2018. The
universe of authorial music happened by chance in the life of Thais, who in
2019 after enrolling in an authorial music competition, in which she decided
to participate, just a week before the closing of registrations – a moment in
2019 when she revealed her musical talent to everyone, including family
members who, until then, did not know about her musical journey.
Trapézia brings the more artistic side of Thais, who has always been very shy
and reserved and who found in her musical project a way to express herself
and, to overcome great personal barriers that until then, seemed to be
unattainable goals, Thaís Lyrica believes that dreams are possible, but
dreaming is not enough! She considers herself a dreamer without limits, but
you have to have a lot of determination for all these dreams to come true!
Thais has a degree in Fashion Design and has an alternative fashion brand,
with the same name as its musical project.
In her first musical work, the artist Thais Lyrica uses all her knowledge of
fashion training to insert a retrofuturistic visual concept into her music.
With the release of 'ECILA', the artist presents us with a fantastic world
inspired by Alice in Wonderland, the work of Lewis Carroll, where every
detail, from the letters to the costumes were designed and made by Thais. With
an authentic and steampunk look, Trapézia takes you on a fantastic journey
into the world of ECILA. “ECILA’ is the realization of a childhood dream and I
really want to continue telling stories through my music”.
