The nearly five-minute track arrived October 15 with a video conceived as a mini movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">\"As I have always loved the sound of the cello, Apocalyptica was the perfect artist to work with,\" Tarja explained, thanking Eicca Toppinen, Perttu Kivilaakso and Paavo L\u00f6tj\u00f6nen directly: \"Eicca, Perttu and Paavo made my dream come true.\" \"We have known Tarja since the mid-'90s,\" the members of Apocalyptica said, adding that working with her had long sat at the top of their list of potential guests and describing her as the artist who \"originally redefined what it means to combine classical singing with metal.\" Apocalyptica formed in Helsinki in 1993 and broke through with 'Plays Metallica by Four Cellos' (1996), an album of Metallica covers played only on cellos; today the cello trio works alongside drummer Mikko Sir\u00e9n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The single will also get a limited physical edition: a 10-inch vinyl pressed in 500 copies, out November 27, featuring two previously unreleased demos on side B, 'T\u00e4\u00e4 Tango \u2013 Piano Demo' and 'T\u00e4\u00e4 Tango \u2013 Band Demo.' Neither will be released digitally. Preorders are available through the singer's online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"Tarja - Tango feat.

Flamenco guitarist Juli\u00e1n Bedmar appears on 'Anemoia,' while violinist Mervi Myllyoja and pianist Niklas Pokki play on 'At Sea,' a piece of more than ten minutes. The album was recorded across 2025 and 2026 in studios in Spain, Finland, Hungary, the UK and the US, with the Budapest Art Orchestra and Budapest Art Choir; it was mixed by Neal Avron and mastered by Ted Jensen. The record runs 12 tracks across just over 63 minutes. 'At Sea,' 'I Don't Care' and 'The Trace Outlives' were released as singles before 'Tango.' It reached No. 6 on the UK Rock &amp; Metal Albums chart, No. 7 on its German equivalent and No. 14 in Finland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Tarja is currently on tour in Europe. After shows on October 15 and 16 at Hyde Park in Osnabr\u00fcck and the Stadthalle in Gersthofen, Germany, she plays Vienna's Simm City today and Full Metal Holiday in Mallorca on October 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">On the same day 'Tango' arrived, Nightwish announced they were parting ways with Floor Jansen by mutual decision. The Dutch singer first performed with the band on October 1, 2012, and officially joined in 2013. The group led by Tuomas Holopainen, which Tarja founded with him and Emppu Vuorinen in 1996, plans to enter the studio in 2027 to record a new album for its 30th anniversary, while Jansen will focus on her solo career, with the album 'Hytress' due January 15, 2027. Tarja left Nightwish in 2005 and has pursued a solo career since 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66394\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53.png 1000w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-770x770-1.png 770w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-293x293-1.png 293w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-390x390-1.png 390w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-585x585.png 585w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-900x900.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66394\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53.png 1000w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-770x770-1.png 770w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-293x293-1.png 293w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-390x390-1.png 390w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-585x585.png 585w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-53-900x900.png 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tarja Turunen estren\u00f3 el video de &#8216;Tango&#8217;, su colaboraci\u00f3n con los chelistas finlandeses Apocalyptica e integrante de &#8216;Frisson Noir&#8217;, el \u00e1lbum que la soprano public\u00f3 en junio a trav\u00e9s de earMUSIC.
