From Finnish Hall of Fame and multi-platinum selling Nightwish to After Forever, one of the first ever symphonic metal bands, Floor Jansen has enjoyed major national and international success. Now, as artists return to the stage, Floor is set to make waves with her very first solo album.

Her much-applauded solo career exploded in 2019 when she surprised the Netherlands with her rendition of ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ with Henk Poort during Beste Zangers. That year she won the Dutch Popprijs award, a prestigious award for artists that made the most important contribution to Dutch pop music. Her first solo tour, announced that same year, sold out in less than 24 hours (around 18,000 tickets), highlighting the strength of her passionate following.

While the world was reeling from the lack of live performances over the past two years, Floor took the opportunity to connect with her fans online, with livestreams and phenomenal cover songs gaining millions of views.

In 2022 she released her first solo single, ‘Fire’, which instantly became NPO Radio 2’s TopSong, and her live performance at HLF8 is universally praised. She has been the Dutch ambassador for Record Store Day and participated in the internationally well-known TV format Sing Meinen Song Germany, where she impressed everyone with her renditions of songs from SDP, Clueso, ELIF and more. She performed the Dutch national anthem at the Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix in front of hundreds of thousands in person and millions watching. With her undeniably pristine track record, there’s no doubt that ‘Paragon’ will be an album that will leave many impressed.

With its mix of influences and powerful vocal performances, ‘Paragon’ is an album that will appeal to fans of pop music and metal alike. It’s the perfect addition to any music collection, and a must-have for fans of Floor Jansen and Nightwish.
