Вилле Вало, Agents и Badding!

Ville Valo is back! Today, the late, legendary Finnish singer Rauli ”Badding” Somerjoki would have turned 71. Unreleased Badding songs see the light of day in the hands of Ville Valo & Agents. The band Agents, led by guitar legend Esa Pulliainen and the frontman of the recently disbanded HIM, Ville Valo, have collaborated on songs written by Rauli ’Badding’ Somerjoki.

Esa Pulliainen states, ”This story begins three years ago. Upon finding three demo cassettes in my drawer which had been sent to me by Badding back in the day, I knew I had to contact Ville right from the get-go. I was aware he knows his Badding inside out. I’m really happy that we were able to finalize this project. Badding meant for these songs to be recorded and even if it took us thirty years to make that happen, I feel I’ve kept my promise.” The first single to be released by Ville Valo & Agents, the Badding penned Orpolapsi kiurun (Orphan Child of the Skylark), contains the voice of the author himself. The song will be released in digital form on Sep 21st 2018.

The album by Ville Valo & Agents will be released in early 2019 and the release will be followed by a tour.
