Originally featured on her 2016 album The Shadow Self, Diva is a dramatic and powerful anthem that quickly became a fan favourite and one of Tarja’s classics played on tour. This rendition, recorded in Bucharest at the spectacular Circus Life Concert, showcases Tarja’s signature vocal mastery, theatrical presence, and the grandeur of her live shows.
“There is a lovely memory behind ‘DIVA’. We were in Antigua and walking around the local harbour when we saw this old boat stored outside the water and that quickly inspired me to write a pirate themed song. I playfully described the last walk of the ‘Diva’ on the ship before being pushed out by the rats on board. Any resemblance to reality is pure coincidence.” – Tarja
