NIGHTWISH's FLOOR JANSEN announces solo album 'Hytress' with single 'Bring Me Silence'
24-08-2026
NIGHTWISH singer Floor Jansen opens a heavier and more direct chapter in her solo career with the release of her new single “Bring Me Silence”. 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.
