NIGHTWISH singer Floor Jansen will release her new solo single, titled “Fire” on March 25.
Yesterday (Wednesday, March 9), Floor tweeted out a pre-save link for the track on Spotify and Apple Music, writing: “Like if you’re as excited as me!!”
Jansen discussed the musical direction of “Fire” two months ago, saying: “It’s a pop song, so it’s not metal, it’s not rock, but it’s definitely me.” The 41-year-old singer went on to explain that the track will not necessarily be representative of all the new solo music she has been working on as of late. “I guess it’s more of a mash-up [of styles] actually,” she said, referring to her upcoming collection of solo material, “though it’s not so extreme as in genres, like all of a sudden it becomes… Here’s a metal song and here’s a rock song and this is more poppy… I mean, pop music — the word of it — [it’s short for] popular music, and it kind of describes a lot, and within that it falls. I can only say that it’s not metal and it’s not rock, but it will have its influences and it will have a part of the sound. It can’t even be so that the first song is how everything else will sound like because, yeah, if you know NIGHTWISH and also for us, it’s always so hard to pick just one song that’s gonna be like the kick-off of an album but it can never really represent everything. And I guess it’s the same for this first song that comes on the 25th of March.”
NIGHTWISH’s ninth studio album, “Human. :II: Nature.” , was released in April 2020 via Nuclear Blast. The double album contains nine tracks on the main disc and one long track, divided into eight chapters on the second.
