I am so proud to announce that my first solo single is called "𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞" and will be released on March 25! Together we've been through such a journey, and this is the next step, next chapter.

Fugazi Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Floor has revealed on FloorWorld the cover art for her upcoming first single 'Fire'. She asked not to share it elsewhere before it's publicly revealed tomorrow, so I'll update this post tomorrow with the actual image. In the meantime it is available on FloorWorld if you create a free member account. It's a picture of Floor with fiery rings around her head, it's actually very nice! 🔥 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 Quote Proud to announce that I have signed with ADA Music! 😄 I'm not sure I get it, it's an "independent distributor" part of Warner Music. 🤔 https://www.ada-music.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AlternativeDistributionAlliance Quote ADA is a global service organization committed to independent artist and label development.

I don't think they are, or at least I can't seem to find anything about it on the Internet. There's also a video coming on the 25th for the song Fire. 🔥 Lyrics: Quote Muted are the days, we lost our will Frozen in a whirlwind that stands still Time itself is silent, the silence… Longing for some warmth back on our face Find a way to get out of this maze Scream away the silent, the silence Shadows all around us Set alight the dark FIRE The pounding of our hearts FIRE Ignite the fading spark FIRE Burn the silence down Let the fire out Give this heat a voice and raise it high No more smoldering ashes of “‘went-bys” Keep the fire going, and burning Shadows all around us. Only formed in light, we Set alight the dark FIRE The pounding of our hearts FIRE Ignite the fading spark FIRE Burn the silence down Let the fire out FIRE FIRE Ignite the fading spark FIRE Burn the silence down Let the fire out 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 The video is not available yet in my timezone, but the audio is here: At first listen, a fine power ballad. Vocals are immaculate of course. I think this will be very popular with the Beste Zangers-minded fans. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 Ok just saw the video (I know I'm late, working my ass off! 😬)... The pop look will take some getting used to, but the video is very nice! Has Floor the required credentials now for Eurovision? 😁 If you're interested in the credits for the song: Written by Floor Jansen, Gordon Groothedde, Wouter Hardy Strings arranged by Wouter Hardy Mixed by Gordon Groothedde Mastered by Darius van Helfteren Recorded at GG Studio Among other things, Gordon Groothedde co-wrote After Forever's Energize Me. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moondance Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Just gave the new song a listen. All I say is "wow, that was amazing". It almost had those Evanescence vibes out from the Synthesis era during the choruses and the verse definitely had that powerful side with outstanding lyrics and a unique structure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's in the credit list ... 👍 Yes, Floor didn't use any professionals already involved in Nightwish. It appears to be a completely new team for this solo endeavour. I posted the lyrics as well. In her single release live stream, she says this song is basically about the pandemic and going back to life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94u2A3E79HI Also she will perform live mid-April at Paaspop (Netherlands), a show postponed from 2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Mkay now there's also a lyric video of Fire, produced by Floor's resourceful husband Hannes Van Dahl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igk1ojA1bxA I guess there must be a marketing reason I don't understand why a song needs both a lyric and a formal video? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Tomorrow (Sunday) at Paaspop is Floor's first solo show since AFAS in September 2021, and also the last of her tour. I expect her to sing 'Fire' live for the first time, and perhaps this will be a shorter setlist due to it being a festival. Which reminds me that we haven't had a new AFAS video in about a month now, what's the hold up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 I've shared to our YouTube channel this video of Floor's karaoke performance of Colors Of The Wind (from the Pocahontas animation movie). Now I know this was filmed in a Thailand resort with the whole band on holiday. But I can't remember if it was during the Imaginaerum or EMFB tour, or a more precise date? The video quality is poor, but any patrons that night must have been impressed with the 'amateur' singer! 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 I don't have the full setlist, but a number of recordings have surfaced on YouTube. Henk Poort took the stage again for Phantom Of The Opera (and Dangerous Game): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L68fI1TrTvg And Oblivion was performed live for the first time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_Sx_EeND8w More here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnRZG2KlxbhDIWZHduGESx5A_HcsrDaml 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 The Paaspop setlist has been posted, the only new songs are Fire and Oblivion. By the time Floor does another solo tour (2023 as mentioned in the interview above?) perhaps she will have released new songs of her own. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/floor-jansen/2022/manegeclub-de-molenheide-schijndel-netherlands-33b6c099.html 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 I hadn't noticed before, but Floor is now scheduled on the same day as Nightwish at Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands on June 17, 2022. 😮 Also, remember people claiming that Floor could sing the phonebook and still sound great? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcMJ-gfqd8k 🤣 Oh, she also sings 'Fire', live on NPO Radio 2. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
