Tarja says: “He was very up for it – if he loves something he just goes for it. It was incredible, because we talked about the idea of the lyrics and the theme of the song together, and he appeared the next morning with the full lyrics done like, ‘Hey, I wrote the lyrics.’
“It was fantastic. He is a super-fast and intelligent person, and I really liked how heavy it turned out to be. Hopefully, I can perform the song with him one day. We can figure it out.”
Tarja has a number of headline shows and festival appearances scheduled over the coming months.
