This year is shaping up to be a big one for Floor Jansen. Not only does it mark 10 years since the Dutch artist joined Finnish symphonic metallers Nightwish as their lead vocalist (they’re currently working on their tenth album), but she's already released her debut solo album, Paragon, a powerful, uplifting piece of work that showcases her stellar voice.
“I started writing it during the pandemic,” she says. “There was so much that was negative, so much not possible, that I wanted to focus on what was possible. That was the mantra that got me through the whole thing, and in a subconscious way really integrated into the songs.”
