TARJA SHARES “TANGO” VIDEO — WATCH

Today, TARJA releases ”Tango,” her spectacular collaboration with Finnish cello metal pioneers Apocalyptica and the latest single from her studio album Frisson Noir‘. Arriving alongside an official music video, the track unites two of Finland’s most iconic musical forces, on record and on screen.

Opening on a seductive tango rhythm carried by Apocalyptica’s cellos, the song builds tension until guitars, drums and cellos crash in for a huge, cinematic chorus. Tarja’s voice rises from intimate restraint to full power as she tells the haunting story of a life that passes by almost unnoticed.
 
“I wanted this song to be a special one, and as I have always loved the sound of the cello, Apocalyptica was the perfect artist to work with,” says Tarja. “Eicca, Perttu and Paavo made my dream come true.”

Apocalyptica add,  “We have known Tarja since the mid-’90s and working with her has always been at the top of our list of featuring artists or collaborators. It was so great to finally find the time and the song to work together. She originally redefined what it means to combine classical singing with metal and we are so happy for this collaboration.”

The official video brings Tarja together with all three members of Apocalyptica: Eicca Toppinen, Perttu Kivilaakso and Paavo Lötjönen, in a dark, cinematic performance that matches the drama of the song.
