Watch Till Lindemann duet with French singer Zaz in haunting but brutal video
Архив новостей | Русская версия
French singer Zaz has released a video for her new single Le Jardin Des Larmes ('The Garden Of Tears'), a haunting duet with Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann.
Le Jardin Des Larmes comes from Zaz's new album Isa, although the song has had a long gestation. “I met Till four years ago because we both have the same make-up artist," Zaz tells La Parisien. "And although we were involved in various exciting projects of our own in the period that followed, we managed to bring this incredible story to life and put this great song into practice."
The lyrics to Le Jardin Des Larmes were originally written in German by Lindemann, before pianist Thierry Faure composed the music and translated the text into French. The duet was recorded in 2018 at Studio La Fabrique in the south of France, where Rammstein recorded their Untitled album.
The video for Le Jardin Des Larmes was filmed in Uzbekistan by director Zoran Bihać, who worked with Rammstein on the videos for Links 2-3-4, Mein Teil, Rosenrot and Mein Herz Brennt, and on seven videos for Lindemann, Till Lindemann's now-defunct project with Hypocrisy and Pain leader Peter Tagtgren.
The video ticks all the usual Lindemann boxes, running the gamut from disturbing to romantic, violent to downright peculiar. "He's very charismatic," says Zaz. "He's a very good actor. His whole team works tirelessly - so much that we hardly got any sleep. I didn't sleep for three or four days and it was very intense and very productive. It was an incredible experience."
Late last month Zaz also released some behind-the-scenes footage shot during the sessions for Le Jardin Des Larmes at Studio La Fabrique.
Elsewhere in Rammstein's ever-interesting world, American toy manufacturer Revell have launched 1:32 model of a Rammstein tour truck.
According to the (badly translated) sales blurb on Revell's German website, "No less than 90 trucks are needed to transport the stage for the band's elaborate shows. This tour truck in the typical Rammstein design is representative of the effort put into it and is a must for fans or even a nice souvenir of the Berliners' last live performance. In addition to the kit, basic paints, glue and brushes are included."
Last month Till Lindemann announced details of his debut solo tour. Sharing its name with the 22-minute short movie he released in June, and his solo single bearing the same title, the Ich Hasse Kinde tour takes place in January. Rammstein are back on the road in May.
