NIGHTWISH singer Floor Jansen has revealed the cover art for her upcoming solo single, “Fire”, which you can check out below.
“Fire” will arrive on March 25.
The NIGHTWISH vocalist recently said about the musical direction of “Fire”: “It’s a pop song, so it’s not metal, it’s not rock, but it’s definitely me.” Jansen went on to explain that the track will not necessarily be representative of all the new solo music she has been working on in recent months. “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.”
Floor Jansen joined NIGHTWISH in 2013, making her recording debut with the symphonic metal act on their 2015 release “Endless Forms Most Beautiful”.
NIGHTWISH’s ninth studio album, “Human. :II: Nature.”, was released in April 2020 via Nuclear Blast.
