Finnish soprano singer Tarja Turunen has premiered her new video for the song "I Feel Immortal" online. You can watch the new "I Feel Immortal" video below or at this location.

The video was shot in Iceland. In a statement on her website, Tarja wrote: "...it's going to be probably the most beautiful video I have ever done in my career. The country is just unbelievably amazing with its stunning landscapes, so we managed to find incredible places for shootings."

The single I Feel Immortal wil be exclusively released in Germany, Switzerland & Austria on 27th of August, and will also feature on Tarja's new album What Lies Beneath, to be released early September.





UPDATE

"Until My Last Breath", another new video from Tarja Turunen, can be viewed at this location.

The song is the first international single from her sophomore effort, What Lies Beneath, which is now being released on September 14, 2010 in the US via The End Records.

Not bad but if the other songs arent a lot better it might as well be another disappointment, another album that is nice and lovely but soon to be forgotten

She should be wiser and join some established band and embellish them with her voice. Cos I have serious doubts about her songwriting abilities, or those of those who write some stuff for her

@K7: Don't be mean! She looks beautiful as always.

At first, I didn't enjoy the song much but it grew on me and I soon fell in love with it. "I Feel Immortal" sounds really beautiful and tender. It was actually composed for commercial purpose; that was the will of Universal Music, at least. I also like the video to it - so stunning! Iceland is definitely among the most beautiful places around the world.

Great Video. Location was fantastic and suited Tarja's image she has created for herself. Tarja is obviously going after commercial airplay with this song to build a bigger fan base and good luck to her. Lets hear what the new album is like as a whole before jumping to conclusions whether or not it is as good or if not better than "My Winter Storm". Good luck to Tarja, I will be buying "What Lies Beneath" as will many other fans.

The song is not exactly a stroke of genius, but much better than I expected (or rather, feared). Probably as good as it gets for Tarja's current level of songwriting skill (I *would* have a few pieces of advice for her), and considering she was apparently expected to write a safe power ballad ready for radio play and MTV. At least a hint of her true vocal power here, too, and the ponderous mood and theme are most appreciated by me.

The video is quite gorgeous and clearly superior to the kind of videos I'm used to from metal bands.

Her make-up *is* a little heavy, though, isn't it?

Not bad at all. This song is actually pretty good compared to some stuff she's done.

No less heavy than many female led metal singles, and I expect the album will have far more guitar led songs. Buuuut - I rather liked the compositions on "My Winter Storm", which seems to be the minority opinion!

And I utterly agree with her pronunciation sounding more like 'immoral' in places

If you're looking for heavy stuff, why wasting your time with Tarja and Nightwish?

Am I the only one who likes this song?
I think it's good she's not imitating Nightwish, because if she does, it would be pathetic! That reminds me of Ben Moody, Evanescence and We Are The Fallen.

Yeah, when I first heard of the song, the title (originally just given as "Immortal") immediately made me think of Evanescence.

Uhh, newsflash: Tarja just got 33. So yeah, seems she actually looks younger than that if you estimate her as being 30 of age. omg

But I suppose you're teenagers, so 30 is like zomgshesasoldasmymom!!!1 for you.

I like pop Nightwish, just so long as they have a couple of monster epic songs along with the pop, and they do. Tarja's songs are great too, though not as good.

Decent music, and better than the last album for sure. But, I am unsure whether I'll pick it up unless I can hear the rest of the album first. I'm just not sold on her ballad/slow songs still... Great looking videos though

I know. She is so talented I heard that she was the first choice to replace Bon Scott even though she hadn't been born. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest wouldn't have had to call back their most famous frontmen as she could have done both jobs whilst writing hate mail to Annette Olson, ending world poverty and saving the trapped Chillian miners through song.

your comment just made my morning
