Ex-Nightwish Singer Anette Olzon Debuts ‘Sick of You’ Off New Solo Album ‘Strong’
Former Nightwish and current The Dark Element singer Anette Olzon recently announced her second solo album, Strong, and has now debuted its second new single, the scathing “Sick of You.”
Strong, out Sept. 10 through Frontiers Music SRL, is the second solo offering from the symphonic metal singer and the first since 2014’s Shine, and aims to showcase a faster and more aggressive sound than what was heard on that solo debut.
“Sick of You,” which follows the lead single “Parasite,” is a bombastic five-minute track which finds Olzon discharging some seriously venomous lyrics while underscoring the empowerment felt when taking charge of a toxic situation and distancing yourself from an abusive person.
Musically, the new track is propulsive with dark overtones, thunderous double kick drums, ripping leads and solos that all provide a perfect counterpoint to Olzon’s radiant voice, which sounds uplifting even while singing about a harrowing subject.
