With the release of her fourth rock album, the versatile singer is following up on the success of the multi-platinum and gold awarded previous records “My Winter Storm” (2007), “What Lies Beneath” (2010) and her most recent album “Colours In The Dark” (2013) which charted all over the globe including 4 Top 10 entries.

Hi

Wanna some coffee
Tarja comenta que es fan de diferentes tipos de música y bandas, las cuales algunas veces utiliza como inspiración y otras sólo como entretenimiento o para relajarse. Entonces encontró una entrevista de Annie Lennox, en la cual Annie habla de "la sombra del ser", el lado oscuro del ser humano, que deberíamos reconocer que existe y del cual muchos artistas encuentran inspiración. Dice que los artistas deben entender ese lado oscuro y que otros trabajan desde esa perspectiva sin ser conscientes de que lo tienen; Tarja se ve reflejada en esa idea de haber descubierto que tiene un lado oscuro desde hace muchos años y que es lo que le hace crear música. Ella lo reconoce como una hermosa oscuridad, que Annie Lennox nombraba como "The Shadow Self", a Tarja le gustó como título de su disco. Tarja dice que antes estaba trabajando con un título tan "simple" como "Black" (negro) y que es la primera vez que comienza a crear las canciones sin tener un título concreto. Dice que lo llamaría "Black" por la pureza del color y por eso no necesaríamente debía ser "Darkness" (oscuridad), incluso sabía que ACDC y Metallica ya tenían trabajos así, por lo cual sería como normal que ella siguiera esas corrientes; "Black" también se referiría a algo como un vacío, profundo y oscuro, misterioso. Dice que en Finlandia hay un lago congelado que parece un agujero negro, y que Tarja - en su agujero negro - tiene todo a la mano, como un mundo misterioso en su palma. Ante todo sigue creyendo que todos podemos encontrar conecciones incluso emocionales con los temas del disco, porque todos tenemos ese lado oscuro o que muchas veces no sabemos por qué actuamos de diferente forma dependiendo de las situaciones. Y que para entender esas cuestiones es necesario un viaje intrapersonal. Por último, dice que ella no ha terminado ese viaje pero como artista comprende que tiene ese lado oscuro, el cual es la fuerza creativa en ella. Que "The Shadow Self" es la fuerza creativa en cada uno de nostros. :)
Gracias por interpretarlo así!!! Mil gracias.. Cero Ingles yo!!
Gracias! 😊
No hay problema! Veo que es buena idea poner una traducción en español. :)
So great to hear your thoughts about the darker side. You are an expert to bring those darker feelings alive when you sing. That’s why I hear songs like Sadness in the Night over and over. Innocence has the same strength. In songs like that you bring out feelings that must be real. They are real to me even though I’m a positive person with a great life.
I like this interview a lot... Interesting, her opinion about our inner darker side and the potential that it offers - especially for artists, who know how to make use of this gift. I am a writer, so... ;-)
i am ready for part 2! thx :D
The black the hidden the shadow! Part of you that is hidden concealed your nightmares! Secret self!

Give Her Some Sun.
Her voice ♥ , her eyes ♥ , her cheeks ♥ , her lips ♥, her laugh ♥,
her smile ♥ , she the most beautiful woman in the world , I love you so much Tarja
greetings from Ukraine.
Yes 💘
Bless You etc
We know who is sick again She trow up
She is right
She is ours
Ahh, summer in Finland.
yah, only 5 feet of snow instead of the usual 8...she is still the most the most beautiful part of the scenery
greetings from Georgia , my queen of metal
how can an angel look so human
Now I want to go in Finland. It's so beautiful
I was really expecting her to say the inspiration came from Paulo Coelho or some other writer but it was Annie Lennox, so funny because I was thinking some days ago how she should cover a love song for a vampire, it would fit her like a glove. Also, I wish they would do this more in depth interviews about such complex concepts in Finnish with subtitles because she struggles to explain and one can tell it is a language barrier. And I really wanted to know more. Deeper.
Damned and divine is already about a vampire :) one of my faves of MWS
PrisPrisca15
I know but still, it is just such an awesome song and clip, would love her to cover it one day.
Tarja did struggle but it might be because she's become more fluent in Spanish since she was living in Argentina and talking more Spanish with her family.
Devora Fileva
Yes her Spanish is even better than her English! But I just love her accent when she speaks in English.
+Ligeia Noire I love her accent too
Tarja has shown us her wisdom again with this interview! Kiitos, Tarja! You're such a wise woman and this inspires me so much!
It's the same for me - when darkness falls, I get more creative and write excellent poems or reports for work or other stuff. There is an extra sparkle and inspiration coming from darkness somehow.
Tarja was raised in Finland where darkness dominates. So I understand it's the darkness that helps her create. When it's dark, you go deeper into you and start creating. After all, this Finnish darkness has given birth to the best metal bands and songs in the world!
She's amazing!
Whenever I see pictures of her in the southern tropical regions, it just don't look right. I'm not sure how to explain but she just looks like a girl with northern blood who lives in the south. Here she looks in her element, but judging from the way she walked the snow/ice path she has been in the south too long!
With the black dyed hair, to me she often looks like a latina.
And I'm a Finn.
Beautiful :)
So beautiful
I love you so much Tarja!
Spent like 5 mins trying to figure out why my headphones weren't working...
Carlos C - 😁 the same
Carl Jung is the one who brought up the concept of the shadow self, worth reading if you haven't done that.
I really wish there wasn't that distracting music in the background. When Tarja sings, there shouldn't be spoken words distracting from the music. When Tarja speaks, there shouldn't be music in the background distracting from the words.
It's the amanzing and beautiful concept for the álbum.
Las tres canciones q ya lanzaste me fascinan todos los dias las escucho
lol the first minute was so random.
Makes me wonder about the song demons in you if the subject is really about her inner demons.
My queen! Love so much! back to Brazil.
like si eres fan chileno :D
She is very, very, very nice girl
🌹tarjo jsi,❤️skvjeľa ,🌹spjevacka ,,,,❤️ držím ti palce tiler Petr ,🌹
Sometimes bad things come for good.
Hope summer comes soon for you
She is so gorgeous I'm ready for part 2 haha.
♡♡♡♡♡♡
i love eagle eye!! :D
💛💛💛💛💛
Great interview,,and it sounds like a great album!
Rakastan tämä sana "avanto"!! :D it means like "the hole in the ice" or something like that, talking about frozen lakes!^^ rakastan sinua, serkkuniiiiii! :) ❄💖
I literally just read about the "Shadow Self" on lonerwolf.com. Thank you, Tarja, you lovely siren you.
Me es impresionante como le cambia la voz al hablar en ingles al español. Como te amo ♥
bjork debería hacer un dueto con ella ToT
About to listen to the album.
I am sort of struggling to understand what she is talking about when she's referring to this dark side of her / all of us (and she's been talking about that for years now). Is it negative emotions? Sadness? Depression? Maybe even maliciousness or evil? I find that many times when she is asked to explain those concepts further, she doesn't really offer much of an explanation; she is likely to just say that that's up to everyone to interpret in their own way. But, as much as I can very well do that, I'd be very interested to hear what it represents to her. In the end, it is the concept in her work. So I sometimes feel like she doesn't know exactly, like she hasn't worked out the details of her own ideas (same thing with the characters in MWS album), and she is mostly repeating the same few sentences to explain the idea of the concept for each album, but doesn't reveal anything more. Maybe that's her idea of being mysterious, but to me it comes across as unfinished and vague.
Language barrier, at least here, it is so so clear that she couldn't find the words, read the finnish interviews and you will see how everything changes.
Oh deus! tão linda
Deberian traducir al Español :(

Tarja silently walking in the snow for 50 seconds....well, that was weird and awkward.
i don't can understand so good what she say , 'cause her english accent isn't too clearly.
"i don't can understood"... the problem isn't her accent...
lmfao this is fucking hilarious you gotta love the irony.
+Robsterry Ace ^^ i couldn't resist when i saw her name... i can fully understand Tarja despite i am French...
Georgia UK she speaks pretty good English
Sean Quertinmont ok. i told only about her accent which makes tarja's english not to be so clearly.
She is right
