NIGHTWISH singer Floor Jansen has just released her second solo single, “Storm”. The track is the follow-up to “Fire”, which was made available in March via ADA.
Jansen spoke to FaceCulture earlier this month and discussed if there is a plant to release a full-length studio album. Floor said: “There are a lot more songs ready. There’s not an album ready, but also because it would make no sense to have one. Due to the pandemic, there’s an entire NIGHTWISH still not done and still yet to be done; as it looks like, we actually are gonna do that now. So before that, I cannot say, ‘Okay, I come [out] with a solo album.’ ‘Cause then you also would like to do some more [solo] shows and do the right promotion and all of that, so there’s no time for that — which is a luxury problem on itself. But it’s fun. And that’s also a big difference with this pop music thing — you can release singles. It’s not an album-based world; it’s completely different.”
Jansen said that the track “Fire” is “a statement” and “the kick-off of everything. And from there I’ll keep releasing singles. And the aim is to release the album in ’23.”
As the singer for NIGHTWISH, Jansen has landed two number one albums in Finland, and Top Five albums in Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.
