NIGHTWISH singer Floor Jansen will release a new solo single, 'Run' on Friday, June 26.
The track is the first taste of Floor's new solo music following the arrival of her debut album, 'Paragon' which came out in March 2023.
That LP showcased the Dutch-born singer's impressive vocal range and powerful voice on a diverse collection of pop-infused tracks and emotional ballads influenced by the sounds of her career.
On Saturday (June 20), Floor took to her social media to share the cover artwork for the 'Run' single and she wrote in an accompanying message: "I'm so happy to finally share this with you: my new single 'Run' will be yours on June 26th." To me, 'Run' is about no longer making yourself smaller to fit into a shape that was never yours.
It's about taking off the mask, trusting your own movement, and daring to be seen that way.
Musically, it feels like the start of something new.
A little heavier, a little more direct, but still honest, still melodic, still completely me." I've been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and I can't wait for you to hear it!" Fan-filmed video of Floor performing 'Run' at a couple of shows in Europe earlier this month can be seen below.
In November 2022, Floor revealed that she was \u002ccancer free" after undergoing surgery to have a tumor removed following a breast cancer diagnosis.
In October 2023, Floor and SABATON drummer Hannes Van Dahl welcomed their second child, a daughter named Lucy.
Jansen and Van Dahl also have a nine-year-old daughter named Freja, who was born in March 2017.
In April 2023, NIGHTWISH surprised fans by announcing that the band was not going to be playing any live shows for the foreseeable future and would be not touring in support of the group's latest studio album, 'Yesterwynde' which came out in September 2024 via Nuclear Blast.
