NIGHTWISH singer Floor Jansen opens a heavier and more direct chapter in her solo career today with the release of her new single "Bring Me Silence". Watch the official music video here. The track serves as the official announcement of her upcoming studio album, "Hytress", set for release on January 15, 2027 via REVAMP Music/Warner Music. Concurrently, Jansen has confirmed the comprehensive "Hytress" tour 2027, bringing her and her full live band to club stages across Europe and South America.
Floor comments: "The world is constantly demanding your attention. Sometimes it becomes so overwhelming that you can barely hear yourself anymore. 'Bring Me Silence' is about that longing for space in your head and system. For clarity, a moment where all is quiet and you can breathe all the way to your belly again and feel satisfied and at peace."
She adds: "This song is one of the first ones we wrote for the new album. Musically, it feels very natural to me. Metal has always been an important part of who I am. Its power, directness, and intensity are deeply rooted in me as an artist. At the same time, my solo work has allowed me to discover more openness and vulnerability. In 'Bring Me Silence', those sides come together in a very organic way."
The new album "Hytress" does not look back for the sake of nostalgia, but rather takes the weight of her past and moves it forward into something sharper and unmistakably her own. "Bring Me Silence" builds on this foundation with down-tuned guitars, layered vocals, and her signature vocal power, without losing the emotional depth of her songwriting.
The release of "Hytress" sets the tone for an extensive international live run. Moving between the fierce energy of her festival shows and the intimacy of her recent sold-out theatre tour, the "Hytress" tour 2027 will capture the full spectrum of Jansen's musical identity.
"Hytress" opens a heavier, sharper, and more direct chapter in Floor's solo career. Following the resounding success of her debut solo record "Paragon", "Hytress" takes the sheer power and intensity of her metal roots and seamlessly fuses them with the openness and emotional depth of her songwriting.
Across 12 brand-new tracks, driven by down-tuned guitars, layered vocal arrangements, and Jansen's signature, commanding vocal range, "Hytress" does not dwell in nostalgia — it moves forward with unmistakable authority. Featuring the powerful single "Bring Me Silence", this LP captures the full, breathtaking spectrum of one of modern music's most versatile frontwomen.
