Oh boy, are you guys ready for some epic news? 🤩 NIGHTWISH singer Floor Jansen just dropped a new solo single, “Run”, and it’s a total game-changer! I mean, who needs sleep when you can spend your late nights listening to Floor’s powerful vocals and wondering why you’ll never be able to sing like that, no matter how many beers you drink? 🍺
So, what’s the big deal about “Run”? Well, for starters, it’s the first taste of Floor’s new solo music since her debut album “Paragon” came out in March 2023. And let me tell you, this song is a major departure from the more pop-infused tracks on “Paragon”. “Run” is all about embracing the darker, heavier side of Floor’s sound, and it’s absolutely glorious. I mean, who needs happy music when you can have epic, soul-crushing metal, am I right? 🤘
The Evolution of Floor’s Songwriting
In a recent livestream on her YouTube channel, Floor talked about how her songwriting has evolved since “Paragon”. She said, “It’s a great question, ’cause I really feel like before ‘Paragon’, after singing in NIGHTWISH and not making any music of my own for quite a few years, it took me a long time to get back into the feeling I’m also a songwriter.” Well, it’s safe to say she’s definitely back in the songwriting game now, and we’re all better off for it. I mean, can you imagine a world without Floor Jansen’s music? It’s a dark, bleak place, my friends.
Floor also talked about working with songwriter/producer Gordon Groothedde again, saying, “We really became a great team. We don’t need many words to kind of say the same thing. We very often think the same thing.” Yeah, because that’s exactly what you want in a creative partnership – someone who can read your mind and create music that’s just as awesome as you are. 🤝
What’s Next for Floor?
So, what’s next for Floor Jansen? Well, with “Run” marking the beginning of a powerful new chapter in her solo career, we can expect big things from this talented singer. And with nearly 600,000 followers on Instagram, more than 56,000 Bandsintown followers, and almost one million monthly listeners on Spotify, it’s safe to say she’s got a dedicated fanbase eager to see what she does next. I mean, who wouldn’t want to listen to Floor’s music all day, every day? It’s like the soundtrack to your favorite metal-filled dreams.
In all seriousness, though, Floor’s music is a testament to her talent and dedication to her craft. And with “Run” showcasing a harder and darker side of her solo sound, we can’t wait to see what’s next for this metal queen. So, go ahead and give “Run” a listen, and let us know what you think. And if you don’t like it, well, what’s wrong with you? 😜
