... Compliance and once again features vocals by Marco Hietela and also by Sharon Den Adel. I'm not certain I can actually pick out Delain's vocalist Charlotte Wessel's voice in this song. It has a very Within Temptation vibe to it. I like it, but I don't think it's the best song on the album. The orchestral part of this song is very nice though. See Me In Shadow is the fifth song on the album and features vocals by Liv Kristine. It begins as quite a delicate song, with a piano (keyboard) overlaid by female vocals which ...more
