Waltari - erste Single "Misty Man" vom neuen Album
Heute erscheint die Neuaufnahme von "Misty Man" von den finnischen Crossover-Veteranen WALTARI, feat. Gastgesängerin Niki von den finnischen Hardrockern Barbe-Q-Barbies.
Der ursprüngliche Song war 1994 eine eigenständige Single und einer der Schlüsseltracks auf Waltaris klassischem Album "So Fine!". "Damals wie heute verkörpert er "die echte Rockerpersönlichkeit mit dem wilden, positiven Geist", so Frontmann Kärtsy Hatakka. "Während die erste Version eine starke elektronische Basis hatte, wollte die Gruppe den Song so klingen lassen, wie er von Anfang an gedacht war - und wer hätte hier eine bessere Wahl für eine Rockstimme sein können als unsere Freundin Niki aus dem alten Helsinkier Live-Club Nosturi!"
"Misty Man" stammt von Waltaris 30-jährigem Jubiläumsalbum "3rd Decade - The Anniversary Edition" (Metalville / Rough Trade - VÖ 26. November)

Niki kommentiert:
"I was really honored to be asked to be part of Waltari’s anniversary album. It was also fun to get to sing „Misty Man” with my own touch/style on it.
My Band Barbe-Q-Barbies used to practice next door to Waltari in the legendary “Nosturi” that sadly doesn’t exist anymore. So we used to bump into each other in the hallways often. I also remember Waltari from the early 90s hearing their songs on the radio and seeing them perform on the famous “Jyrki Music” TV show.
I’m also very excited that “Misty Man” will be the first single from the album."
Kärtsy kommentiert:
“Misty Man” has always been standing as a romantic view about the real rocker person with the wild positive mind. One must remember, that the original rockers always had a very positive attitude towards the future!
1994, when the original version was made, we were so deep into the electronic world that we kinda missed the original lyrical point of the song. Well, it was good at that time for sure, but now we wanted finally to make the song sound like it was originally meant to be.
And, who could have been a better featuring choice for a rock voice here, (even in this case a female one!), like our neighbour fellow from the old Helsinki band land “Nosturi” called Niki from the Barbe-Q-Barbies!"
