Author Benedetta Baldin - 21.9.2025

This week was the fifth item in the weekly series of song premieres that precede the October 24th release of Serj Tankian‘s new album, “Covers, Collaborations & Collages.” The song “Things Unspoken,” which he co-wrote with New Zealand singer-songwriter Bic Runga, has surfaced online. As reported from theprp, the System of A Down singer shared his thoughts on the collaboration, noting that it has roots that go back decades to a “Ozzfest” run.

‘Things Unspoken” began its roots on a piano at the Watergate Hotel during a moment of limbo at the start of Ozzfest many years ago and bloomed into this duet, in collaboration with Bic about a dozen years ago while she was in LA.
