"Eva" is the fourth promotional single by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. Lifted from their sixth studio album Dark Passion Play, this was the first release to feature Anette Olzon, following Tarja Turunen's departure in 2005. [citation needed]
Initially the single was only released on the Internet and radio, with a release date of 30 May 2007, together with the revealing of the identity of the new vocalist (Anette Olzon), but due to a leak on 23 May the vocalist's identity was revealed on 24 May and the song was released on the 25th. Officially, "Eva" started to play on Finnish radio stations YleX and Radio Rock at 07:00 on 25 May,[1] and was available as a download the same day.[1]
All European income from this release were donated to charity (Child Charity Foundation),[2] and the income from Finnish Internet sales were donated to two children's homes in Finland.[1]
Eva's cover was announced on the official website on 17 May.[1] It features a young girl dressed in 19th century Finnish clothing with a teddy bear in front of a house by night.
