Today, Tarja releases “I Don’t Care,” the second single from her upcoming studio album, Frisson Noir.

The uncompromisingly heavy track sees Tarja join forces with Dani Filth, iconic voice of Cradle Of Filth, for a striking interplay between beauty and brutality.

On this fierce declaration of independence, Tarja rejects imposed expectations and confronts illusions society creates around morality, belief and success.

Musically, “I Don’t Care” moves between intense symphonic elements and heavy, modern metal power while being dramatic and unapologetically dark.

The official music video captures this clash of worlds visually, bringing both artists together on screen and translating the song’s dark energy into a powerful performance-driven setting.

Frisson Noir reflects Tarja’s ongoing dialogue between cinematic orchestration, classical heritage, and the power and intensity of contemporary metal.

The album moves between intimate piano passages, dramatic orchestral textures, and powerful guitar-driven moments.

Tarja delivers intensity, emotion, and strength across 10 tracks on Frisson Noir, joined by special guests Dani Filth (Cradle Of Filth), Apocalyptica, Marko Hietala (ex-Nightwish), and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers).

Mixed by Grammy-winning producer Neal Avron, the album blends a modern hard-hitting sound with dramatic emotional elements that define Tarja’s unmistakable metal identity.

The album will be available in retail as CD Digipak, Black 2LP Gatefold, and Ltd.

Purple 2LP Gatefold.

The first pressing of all formats is finished with high-quality copper foil and logo embossing.

Further exclusive formats as signed editions and a strictly limited Collectors Box Set will be available in the official album store.
