With the release of Tarja’s studio album “The Shadow Self” only being six weeks away, the queen of heavy rock premieres the official music video for her new single “Innocence”.
Directed by Argentinean movie director Mariano Cattaneo and filmed in Buenos Aires, the video surprises with a movie like optic and a corresponding, emotional plot.
But it is not only the video clip that leaves you astonished - so does the song.
“Innocence” perfectly captures the essence of Tarja: her unique way of melting heavy rock and classical music. Adding a melancholic piano etude inspired by Chopin, a driven beat and a striking chorus, the first single from “The Shadow Self” leads the way to even more inspiring music of Tarja.
"Innocence" is available as iTunes Instant Grat with immediate effect as part of the preorder of “The Shadow Self”: smarturl.it/Tarja_TSS_iTunes
The single and video versions of “Innocence” will also be available as part of the limited box set of “The Shadow Self” in an exclusive 7”vinyl+CD format.
“The Shadow Self” is going to be released on August 5th, 2016 in various formats, including 1CD Standard Edition, Special Edition Digipak CD+DVD, Limited Box Set (CD+DVD “The Shadow Self”, 7” vinyl+CD “Innocence”, 7” vinyl+CD “No Bitter End”, picture frame, 3 postcards, poster, t-shirt in size L), 2LP+Download and Digital.

[@marchon2578]

@Big Bill O'Reilly ... one of my happiest days..indeed..i was in line to get an autograph and she was running a bit late, and got a tap on the shoulder ..at first i thought i brushed against someone and so i partially turned around and almost with Tarja..she let out one of her infectious patented laughs and said..."this may count as a hug" and i couldn't believe my audacity , at first,and heard myself saying " not in my book" and she gave me one for a few seconds..that still sustains me...that Marcelo gets to hug her all the time..but he looks a bit stiff in that department..maybe its just the way it appears to me..

[@marchon2578]

@Big Bill O'Reilly .. yah, these trolls are just so egregious in their dismissal of the great one...i, along with a few other devotees formed a united front and went after them yesterday....this young women reacted to GLS with Tarja from the hartwel arena...she was very impressed by her and nw in general, and they jumped all over her complaining that it was the wrong version and that Tarja is nothing compared to Floor and such..so we went back and forth with these trolls..this corona detention is proving to be so cathartic...

You know what? That is a fucking well done, very well done video right there. The part where she holds his arm, that look, that situation sends shivers down my spine, fucking powerful moment, the way they film, going in and out of the set is super super smart, it tells you that there is more than what meets the eye and stuff that happens between closed doors that shouldn't have been happening, we should stand up for ourselves or help if we can, it makes a world of difference to have someone by your side. She is a very intelligent woman and she empowers and strengthens a lot of people with her music and with her personality. I am so so so proud of being her fan. She is an amazing person!

[@YamiHarmonia]

I always cries when I see this clip. The way Tarja stops the father from hurting his wife and child is remembering me how metal ( and Nightwish ! ) helped me to deal with the rudeness of my home, those last years. Thanks, Tarja.

[@lippabalda2892]

Plus how he loses all life afterwards. As if he recognizes he was wrong. It always hurts to have to face reality like that. If only the mother had stood up and left before it came to that.

[@zouhayralaoui3222]

The return of tarja to nightwish will be the greatest thing to happen to us as funs of gothic métal

[@LovesGaming37]

It won't happen. Tuomas Holopainen is too much of a drama queen to let her back in. Too much bad blood between him and Tarja

[@jarchibald74]

This is so beautiful and happy/sad. I know a woman who was being abused by her husband. She wasn't saved. She took her own life when I was still a kid. It was something that hit me hard and I only wish that something had been to prevent the tragedy.

[@mufasaf128]

The mistreatment of women is endemic in Spain, this week another 49 year old woman has been burned alive by her bastard companion. Nobody will find out on national TVs. Silence is complicity with the murderer and a second crime to the victim. Shameful

She bloomed when she left Nightwish; best thing she did.

Oh my gosh...this videoclip looks like it was filmed during my childhood... F*****k triggers. Especially the scene with father and daughter in front of the TV.

[@TexeiraLucasNicolas]

Mucha gente básica que se la dan de Metaleros criticando la musica solo por el hecho de que ellos se encasillan en sonidos pesados y de ahi no salen solo por posar. Tarja es una Artista versátil y su voz da para mucho. Su música va de un extremo a otro y eso es fascinante, sus ultimas canciones fueron muy experimentales y eso es muy positivo, creo que sus seguidores deberían hacer lo mismo y aprender a escuchar. El video es perfecto, y al ser una cantante de "estilo dramático" es bueno que sus videos representen bien lo que ella nos expresa al cantar.

[@isaacruiz299]

Para los que viven enfrascados, creo que Tarja es músico de profesión. Ser músico significa evolucionar, escuchar y aprender e incluso innovar. Y "evolución" es una palabra que define perfectamente a esta mujer. Mientras muchos hacen lo mismo de siempre por estar en su zona de confort, ella en cada producción se arriesga con una nueva temática, y crece. Ninguno de sus discos es el mismo y es interesante, no como muchas bandas que cambian el nombre del CD y la instrumentación, ambientación y voz es una sinfonía continua de nunca acabar. Bravo por este tema, y por un vídeo tan cercano a la realidad.

Wow, Tarja, it is odd that I've just now today started giving time and attention to the Masterpieces of music you have so creatively, profoundly, and Spiritually engineered.

I'm honored deeply to hear you're sublimely moving, inspirational. Music.. You sing to the Soul's delight and the Heart's exhultation.

[@florencia_luna]

Con esto comprendo claramente el concepto de The Brightest Void y The Shadow Self. Innocence y No Bitter End son trabajos muy diferentes y quizás no serían fácil de relacionar a primera vista, pero una vez hecho es una dualidad espléndida. El concepto de cada álbum de Tarja está basado en su forma de plasmar las ideas y enfoques que quiere exponer. No comprendo como hay personas que tras ver su trabajo siguen sin adorarlo, o quizás, sin entenderlo. Tarja es sublime.

Lo que pasa, lamentablemente, es que la mayoría de la gente solo oye la música, sin escucharla realmente, y no se dan el trabajo de apreciar el trabajo de un artista, de entender el por qué realizo tal o tal canción, o por qué escribió esa letra o por qué incluyo tal o tal instrumento.

I like the way the color leaves the abuser and goes to Tarja. It's as if the life force of his abuse has been taken away. The feathers over her eyes seem to me to represent her inability to see the pattern of abuse. At the end, her eye is exposed; she can see the truth.

[@LigeiaNoire]

exactly, well pointed out!

[@stefanl5183]

Yes. That's exactly what I think the feathered veil represents. Or at least anyway it represent enlightenment. It could represent society's awareness of issues that are all around us all the time but we are blinded to. It could also represent the lady who's in the abusive relationship being blinded to the fact that she doesn't have to settle for that life for herself and her child and has the ability to bring it to an end. In fact, it's at the end when she takes the child and leaves behind the abusive relationship, that we see the veil lifted and her eye uncovered. So, I think it means both.

[@Marshallsatten]

It could well mean both.

Not because they actually care, but because they know you'll like it and give them your money. This is not metal anymore, it is propaganda. Feel really sad for what Tarja become. What a shame, Tarja had such a great voice, and together with Nightwish they made something outstanding, something above family violence... But happy that Nightwish now has Floor - that is what I call strong woman! And we still can enjoy the beauty of real music and talent!

I just came back to watch this for the 100th time! I love this song and video so much! Can't wait to hold "the shadow self" in my hands!

I love the passion and punch of her words when the camera is on her mouth.

Großartige Frau...mit göttlicher Stimme

[@sasharenee1196]

this is awesome she's singing about more serious topics. Great job.

[@larryzigler6812]

She always has

Tarja does what she wants. If you criticize her than you don't need to listen to her songs. Just the same way she doens't have to return what she was in the past. She changed, people change. Nightwish changed, they are not exactly metal now. I've heard their songs, Floor is an amazing singer, but she's different in nightwish too, because they wanted to change, people CHANGE! Whay don't you understand this for God sake? Tarja continue to do what your heart says, your real fans are going to fallow you.

I understand both sides. It's only human to refuse to let go, but we all shrivel up and die at some point and everything we ever owned turns to dust, everything we do will be forgotten and the places of our childhood will be irrecognisable. A talented actor or singer changing her role just too painfully reminds our subconscious about that. Still, hardly anyone wants to do the same thing over and over again...

How are Nightwish not metal now? They are metal.

[@Kitty-mb4hy]

Why do you even think Tarja should not be criticized? She isn't some untouchable deity, after all.

[@codrak6]

I was actually agreeing with you on everything until the Nightwish is not exactly metal, like how is Nightwish not metal. Did you actually listened the last album? It's metal through and through

[@nafisahmohamed4772]

Yes. Nightwish sounds like a power pop band or movie music on steroids with a pedestrian singer. Tuomas is just rehashing old Nightwish music made when Tarja was with the band with either blander ballads or over written and overproduced sounds.

Tarja love you 💜

[@lflandera]

So much power and love....

[@rottenkreature1041]

This is an ART MASTERPIECE. I LOVE the old atmosphere. I LOVE the song and the movie-like video. You feel the drama, the suspense, the horror. And when Tarja approaches to the camera as a FIERCE PANTHER I started to tremble, wrapped in goosebumps, she had this look full of a FEARSOME RAGE and.. What happens? BOOM!!!! SHE MERCILESS FUCKING ATTACKS HER PREY!! EPIC AS HELL!! There is no doubt that "The Shadow Self" is going to be MAGNIFICENTLY CATASTROPHIC!!!!

[@mewtje3095]

Holy crap. Wow. This is by far one of the best videos by far. I'm speechless. Absolutely cant wait till the album is out. Hype.

[@user-io4jl4jx9q]

Go Tarja!

[@Jigokushunen]

BEST TARJA SONG!!!!!!!!!

[@Jair_Araujo]

Tarja is always amazing!

[@Luis_Fernando_De_Luna_Meza]

¡¡¡MARAVILLOSO!!! Tarja Turunen tiene una voz inigualable y un carisma digno de admiración.

[@Marshallsatten]

It reminds me of people I know who were in that situation, and, thank God, made it out alive.

[@Hordak81]

I cry like baby, every time. This one and "Never too late" by three days grace
