This year, Tarja is bringing the festive season early with the release of “Dark Christmas”, the highly anticipated sequel of her 2017 album “From Spirits and Ghosts (Score for a Dark Christmas)”. Utilizing the sound of a grand orchestra and the playfulness of a children’s choir, the Finnish solo artist once again perfectly blends her classically trained voice with darker gothic influences for a masterful cinematic eerie soundtrack of the best world known Christmas tunes.
THE LONG-AWAITED CHRISTMAS ALBUM SEQUEL FOR YOUR SPOOKY HOLIDAY CELEBRATION
With enchanting and captivating renditions of well-known Christmas carols, such as Wham!’s “Last Christmas”, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You”, Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime”, classics such as “Jingle Bells”, “Frosty The Snowman” and “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer”, as well as Tarja’s brand new original song “Dark Christmas”, it’s the perfect album for those who want to embrace the holiday spirit while exploring a more mysterious side of the season.
“It was fascinating to dive into this new world. You will appreciate these Christmas songs with our spooky arrangements truly sound in a way they never did before. It was my pleasure to team up once again with Jim Dooley and Tim Palmer. I hope you will dig in our take of a Dark Christmas spirit.” – Tarja
