“Paradise (What About Us?)” will be released as an EP, containing four new songs.
In addition to Paradise (What About Us?), the EP will contain demo versions of three brand new songs: “Let Us Burn”, “Silver Moonlight” and “Dog Days”.
By releasing these demos we want to invite you in our home studio and show how we capture song ideas at an early stage of creating a new album. These demo versions are far from their final sound on the album, but will give you a hint of what we’re working on. It will be fascinating to hear what the end result will sound like, once the album is released.
We hope to make the waiting time for the new album a little shorter and sweeter with this release. It’s so exciting to share the different stages of our music with you. Stay tuned for more important news on the EP.
The EP Paradise (What About Us?), will be released on Friday September 27th world wide and on October 1st in North America.

The guest singer will be officially announced later today, but according to iTunes, it's Tarja:
Edit: removed my previous comment because a clip was released and it sounds great, lol. Still worried about drama but it seems Tarja's voice doesn't overpower Sharon's ^_^

Didn't know what to expect when I heard the news either, but the clip sounds amazing. Today Giel Beelen (Dutch Radio Host) previewed 2 minutes from the song on Dutch Radio.

I've been watching the video every day, it's amazing! I truly love it! A lot of people are complaining that Tarja's voice is too low in the mix, but that's exactly why I like it after all if it was Tarja's song then she would be much louder, but it's not, it's a WT song.

I think the song is pretty good! And I think Tarja's part in the song is perfect. Not too much of her, but also not too little of her. Were people actually expecting Tarja to sing the majority of the song and Sharon to just do back up vocals for her or something?
"Silver Moonlight" is the only song that I'm not really sold on yet, so maybe the final version will be better...the song just doesn't really stand out at all for me and the growls just sound kind of...forced. It's not bad, though.

I think I'd go Paradise > Dog Days > Silver Moonlight > Let Us Burn. I agree Silver Moonlight will probably be better in the final version, it rather sounds like they recorded it in the 90s! And Robert must be pretty out of practice with his growls, lol.
