\u00a0Following the release of two incredible new singles from his forthcoming solo album\u00a0American Vampire<\/em>\u00a0– one that featured the legendary guitar player for hard rock icon Billy Idol, Steve Stevens, and another featuring industrial metal renegade and ex-Marilyn Manson guitarist Tim Skold – what\u2019s left for a goth metal idol like Helsinki\u2019s Jyrki 69 to do? Naturally, he releases a third single, a collaboration with the quintessentially American pop superstar, Tiffany! It\u2019s an odd coupling to be sure, but when you hear Jyrki\u2019s beastly baritone blend with Tiffany\u2019s beautiful and seductive voice, it will make you a believer!

\u201cDon\u2019t You Want Me\u201d is the third single to be released from Jyrki\u2019s sophomore solo album, and it\u2019s the only track on the album where he shares vocal duties, trading verses with the supremely talented, All-American pop princess. The song, of course, was originally written as a male\/female duet and became a megahit for \u201880s new wave band The Human League, but the new version transforms the bubbly keyboards of the original for some hard-hitting, industrial sounds and distorted guitars courtesy of producer DK-Zero. Amping the dark and brooding vibe even higher is British guitarist\/producer Mark Gemini Thwaite (Lords Of Acid\/The Mission), who mixed the track and provided additional production. The combined efforts of all involved make this one of the most compelling collaborations on an album stacked with contributions from indie experimentalists Xiu Xiu, UK electro duo The KVB, industrial veterans Le\u00e6ther Strip, and more!

Jyrki had this to say about the song \u201cWhenever they open up Goth clubs again I hope this tune will bring people together to dance on very smoky dance floors in the deepest crypts where the sun never shines!\u201d

Meanwhile, Tiffany declares \u201cIt was great to work with Jyrki 69 on this. \u2018Don’t You Want Me\u2019 is one of my favorite Human League songs. I enjoyed recording this track. So much fun!\u201d
