Nightwish Singer Says New Album Was A Vocal Puzzle
. (Prog) Nightwish singer Floor Jansen says the band's eighth album Endless Forms Most Beautiful was a "puzzle" they worked on together - even though she didn't write any of the material. Her lack of involvement at composition level didn't cause her any ego problems, because she knew the results would be worthwhile. So she was happy to leave those duties to mainman Tuomas Holopainen and bassisst Marco Hietala. Jansen tells FaceCulture: "This was my first time on an album from scratch, written by mainly Tuomas and Marco. 'This is the vocal line - this is the lyric. Go ahead.' "One thing that connects all the eras of Nightwish is that particular sound. My little ego is just fine with saying, 'I don't have to write for this. This is going to be awesome anyway.' And it is." But she continues: "That doesn't mean that there is no creative input from me whatsoever. There is a certain phrasing that Tuomas had in mind, but it becomes a vocal puzzle, where my input comes in: 'I can sing it like this, I can sing it like that.'" Read more here.
