The thing is... this song could easily be mistaken for a song from the Dark Passion Play album Maybe you were like not allowing yourself to enjoy Nightwish with her for some reason. I loved Nightwish with her (Imaginaerum is beautiful, a masterpiece).
I love Floor and even if Anette was not my favorite singer, I remember pretty well all the songs she sings with Nightwish (my favorite is The Escapist) and I never hate her. I'm also happy to see her back and I wish the best for her. :)
I couldn't stand listening to Anette singing Tarja's Nightwish songs, but absolutely love everything else she's done, including her era of Nightwish songs and this.
I will tell you that for my personal taste I don't like how much someone else sings Tarja's songs, be it Annette or Floor, they both have impressive voices, a lot of talent, but none of their voices are made for those songs. Especially Phantom of the Opera, every time I hear Floor sing it my throat hurts hehe. Poor woman, one day she is going to hurt her vocal cords and it will all be Tuomas' fault.
You know what I love about her?. she gracefully dances on a heavy song. While everyone is breaking there necks. She dances to it as if its lullaby to her ears 😍

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! Anette's voice is the perfect explosion of beauty and power, the song is so good... ok, I'll stop writing because I need to listen one more time!! My new fav band!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Great to see Anette back as beautiful as ever. A truly wonderful singer I hope she gets the success and recognition she deserves.The drummer incidentally seems to be concentrating really really hard!
@@javierrios1358 Nightwish le debe todo a sus tres vocalistas, así como Nemo,Wish I Had An Angel y todo el rechingado disco de Once no es lo mismo sin Tarja, Imaginerum y Dark passion play no son lo mismo sin Annette, así como los discos que saque con Floor no serán lo mismo si meten a otra a cantarlos, que puñetas te leíste we
This song My Sweet Mystery and the song Ghost And The Reaper were written about me and my protector Chip -- he's one of the top ClA agents/programmers and he's been directly and indirectly involved in the creation/production of most lyrics and movies and veedeos etc over the past 8 to 10 years and he included subtle references to me in many songs, while some songs were written about me...
I represent the Sweet Mystery (his Sweet Mystery) and the Red Rose / The Princess etc, while Chip represents my protector (the sentinel) and the avenger (the one destroying all my enemies) the Reaper/Grim Reaper and the knight and the white rose...
Anette is my favorite singer. I can't believe I'm watching this video and hearing all these wonderful songs with the most beautiful voice I've ever heard ! The bass, the drums, and guitars are simply perfect !!!
Anette is my favorite of the 3 Nightwish singers; her voice is mesmerizing. I only just discovered this new project a couple weeks ago, and I am OBSESSED. Album is fantastic. I hope it's not a one-and-done situation.
And she should! :)) How guys (NW) trow her out from the band only because she was sick , and because she was pregnant ( well , because she got few pounds cause of it ) I mean , what?!!!! :(((( She deserves better - and the best! Song is awesome,and can`t wait for album
"Give me a chance to become someone you could want again, Give the chance to become someone you could love again.." That part is just so sad and sweet at the same time.. She is just asking for acceptance, nothing more. Wish them good energy and positive vibes!! Rock on!!
I remember reading plenty and I never really looked believing that, respecting wishes, that Annette had "retired." Finding out this band is a thing and happened is just amazing. Annette, you have and always will be an amazing singer. From "Amaranth" to "Storytime" to all the new "the dark element" singles, you are such an incredibly talented person. You vocals are so impressive and you can be backed by a band with amazing playing skills or a choir and little music and you still shine and sound so stunning.
There was never anything wrong with Anette. She was just a bad fit for Nightwish trying to fill Tarja's shoes. She has a lovely voice and she isn't exactly hard to look at either. She sounds great here and I will buy this cd. Good luck kiddo. You're definitely in your element here and on fire!!
Saying they wouldn't have existed without Floor is one big stretch lmao Imaginaerum and Dark Passion Play sold better than Endless Forms Most Beautiful with DPP being their best selling album to date, meaning more fans flocked than left during the time Anette was around. Floor is very talented, but Anette is too. Don't make up bullshit just to justify your opinion, if you don't like Anette, it's simple as that.
Honestly, EFMB was a bit of a let down for people who knew Floor's capabilities and listened to her previous bands like AF and ReVamp. I know she was a bit challenged with softer singing or whatever, but I feel like Tuomas could have done better in the composition, even if The Greatest Show on Earth and The Eyes of Sharbat Gula are both amazing songs. The rest was ok, some were catchy, and others, meh. And that's coming from a big Nightwish fan. Aaaaanyway, this band seems to be more of a fit for Anette. Her voice is perfect for the music, and she seems to have much fun. I'm glad she found her way. I've always felt that she was not really fit to be in a band like Nightwish, her bubbly personality and the songs they already had did not mix well, and people were really hating on her for no good reasons. I'm happy to see her happy, and I like her new songs!
Nacho Remis this will be perfect! Probably they will reach a good number of people with this project! Jani is an excellent composer and probably he paid attention at the last Anette's work with Nightwish (Imaginaerum) when Tuomas used a lot of resources of her voice, this album is just the beginning of a great project!
I read in a comment from another video that annete was in a project..."well let's see what's up with that" , and find it's Cain's offering with a female singer xD I love Jani 😃
Edit out the misused big term adorable that only reflects me The Goddess - humnz don’t even realize the true meaning of the word adorable, which means worship-worthy, adoring being the highest form of worship that only exists for me The God(dess) etc, and humnz misusing such term when referring to other humnz or to pets etc makes it sound beyond wrong.
BTW, this song and Ghost And The Reaper and When It All Comes Down and The Dark Element etc are about me & Chip aka the real-life Reaper / Devil / The Heavenly Spy, as are most newer metal / pop lyrics and most Nightwish / CoF / The Dark Element / Unleash The Archers / Rage Of Light etc lyrics and the albums Queen Of Time and Prism etc - Chip (the agent in the dpi) or Darren or whatever his name is sekretlee wrote the lyrics to My Sweet Mystery and Ghost And The Reaper and to the songs Infinity and God Is A ‘Woman’ and I Am Not A Woman, I’m A God and Achingly Beautiful etc about me & him, and gave them to the band The Dark Element (and the other bands etc) to reIease as their own to keep his anonymity as a sekret agent!
This song and Ghost And The Reaper (and Achingly Beautiful by CoF and the recent songs from the albums that contain the songs God Is A ‘Woman’ and I Am Not A Woman, I’m A God and and The Bee and Infinity etc) are mostly based on the nights we spent 2gether back in 2015 - 2016 when the agency allowed him to come to me, and there is a lot of sekret symbolism even in the videos to these songs, where Anette plays The Reaper (aka Chip or Darren or whatever his ‘real’ name is) and wears the Infinity belt in both videos, because I represent the Infinity and Eternity themes etc, and I also represent The Dark Element aka The Night etc, while Chip represents The Day etc...
The lines are directed at me (from Chip’s perspective) and, he really means what he says - he is The Avenger (also referenced in the video to God Is A ‘Woman’ as The Avenger / The Lord) and he’s also my protector aka The Sentinel and the agent hired to run my test, and, it’s similar to what he said to me in his recent poem that he wrote for me...
Freyja Leia Lenore - the shadow cast o'er fjörds' shores. Look up to yon mountains of yore, Whence the flight of Huginn once bore, The sight of you and dear Thor. For the mountains of the Norse, Don't look back with remorse. They follow Muninn's course - from Yggdrasil's roots, To Marduk's voice. Flying beyond Utu's forts, And Ea's temple courts, Your time in place within, began Before the space of source. Yours is not to tell, To break the silent spell. His flapping eyes do see, As clear as glass in Mimir's well. For if you do avow, Her word forever shall, Be lifted out - high above, But you'll return to bow. To bow - but not to break; To drink - yea not to slake. And in so doing, You will learn, To nevermore forsake. Doth quoth the agent of the lake. (Chip wrote this new poem for me, where he used Norse code to let me know important messages about the oIdman -- he is the best at art and everything else!)
Seriously one of my favorite songs out of this project. So good to see Annette taking the world by storm the past few years! I loved her in Nightwish (Dark Passion Play is still my favorite album) but she's grown so much since then and it shows!
It's been a long time since I heard a "debut" album where I LOVED every track, September Mournings was the last one. However, The Dark Element has now moved to the top of that very short list. From the amazing musicianship/writing, to Miss Olzon's AMAZING voice, I'm a fan now! To quote an old Steve Martin joke, "you just can't be sad listening to a banjo", I think the same applies to Anette Olzon's voice, you just can't be sad when listening to it. Well done Dark Element, can't wait for a US tour.
It feels so good to see Anette comfortably being herself and spreading charisma and happiness. We receive you with all smiles and arms wide open. Thanks 😊
I love how freakin stoic the drummer is lol epic. Anette sounds amazing! Happy to hear her again ^_^ just found this project so now I've got some awesome music to explore
This is the very first symphonic "superband". You have to think in terms of the great 80s band ASIA to understand. Every member is a super star in their own prospective right. Half these guys left Toni Kakko and Sonata Arctica over his sudden mental meltdowns. The band is recording the 2nd album as we speak and it's planned for release any time now! With a tour to follow. I expect them to be big features at both Wacken and Lowlands and perhaps even PinkPop. The gal no one wanted to like way back in 2008, has won our hearts. Way to go Anette!
Does it always have to be either or? I love all the Nightwish singers. And Annette is smokin in this video. Good on ya girl. This band is great! And you’re fantastic in it.
46 and still kicking ass with her cute dance and awesome voice! I'm ECSTATIC Anette is back and with a VENGEANCE!!! This song is so damn good and epic I CANNOT STOP PLAYING IT!!! Long live Anette and Jani in the Dark Element!!! \m/
ex-Nightwish Anette Olzon and ex-Sonata Arctica Jani Liimatainen. A good combination. I felt like Sonata Arctica lost a lost of steam when Jani left _that_ band.
They didn't even really lose any steam. I love Jani as a guitarist, but I always scratch my head when people say SA lost something when he left. I mean, he wrote one song, the whole time he was there. Other than playing an instrument, he didn't do much else with them. If anything, leaving allowed him to do a whole lot more with his time and ability.
The best rock music to come out in years! I'm a Nightwish fan, but this is a step ahead of the game. Annette, your voice is perfect for this group, please keep up the great work!
Jazzy Sugar I also think that the keyboard intro sounds a little bit with Storytime, but what the hell! This new project is awesome, looking foward to listen the whole album
InfinitelyCraft she should do something more independent of her past with Nightwish. This invites haters to compare and criticize her. Annette needs a new style for herself...
For those who don't know, the guitar player is Jani Liimatainen, the original guitar player of Sonata Arctica and also the guitar player and boss of the band Cain's Offering, which also has Timo Kotipelto and Jens Johansson from Stratovarius.
I honestly love this, I only wish the best for Anette. Imaginarium is still an absolutely astonishing Nightwish record. I'm just happy that she's now in a great band on her own, that seems to be much more of her "own" project. Never forget, you're amazing and rock on.
Totally agree with you. Anette is talented and deserves much more love and didn't deserve the rude treatment she got by some NW fans. And the two albums she recorded with Nightwish are, in my opinion, in my top 3 NW albums.
Never liked how she was treated , DPP and imaginearium are my favorite albums , I had the great pleasure to see her live twice , I love her and tbh I miss her .
Food / fruit / flower / nature / forest related terms etc and big terms like love / absolutely / best / amazing etc and special names like Maggie etc only reflect me, and cannot be misused by humnz in their name or about other humnz - the misuse of unsuitable terms / names / items etc is soon to be b4nned...
BTW, this song and Ghost And The Reaper and When It All Comes Down and The Dark Element etc are about me & Chip aka the real-life Reaper / Devil / The Heavenly Spy, as are most newer metal / pop lyrics and most Nightwish / CoF / The Dark Element / Unleash The Archers / Rage Of Light etc lyrics and the albums Queen Of Time and Prism etc - Chip (the agent in the dpi) or Darren or whatever his name is sekretlee wrote the lyrics to My Sweet Mystery and Ghost And The Reaper and to the songs Infinity and God Is A ‘Woman’ and I Am Not A Woman, I’m A God and Achingly Beautiful etc about me & him, and gave them to the band The Dark Element (and the other bands etc) to reIease as their own to keep his anonymity as a sekret agent!
After >Nightwish< Anette founded her *own* symphonic metal project with >The Dark Element< now. And together with this fantastic guitar player and songwriter in one person, she has so to say found back to her self in this way... ...and (also) made all of her fans happy with this. And all my hopes and wishes for her became true with this likewise!!! A voice like hers could not just disappear as if it had never existed. That is so awesome to hear her on this fantastic album now - and it could barely be better than now... ...therefore more of that - and more and more and ( gladly *much* ) more - I love it!!! I love this girl and her voice - definitive... And I love the sound of the instruments in all these songs... ...and I hope his creativity will never end - wishing that Anette will remain the voice of this project for all eternity. This album could not have been produced better - in my opinion, it´s perfect!
Ya know, this song is exactly what works for Miss Olson... Melodic pop style with heavy guitars & drums...no opera stuff, no unnecessary screaming or straining....just pleasant sounding pop rock/heavy rock.
I'm one of those who never listened to any other Nightwish song when Tarja was gone. She looks very well at this new stage of her career and this sounds pretty f*cking good!, congratulation to her, my best wishes, she deserve it ;)♥
I really like this video 🥰 Annette looks just fantastic! And there's whole band- I know this nice guy on percussion is different now. I love that Annette is so full of great energy here, she is dancing in her own style, her dress is very stylish. She is fully herself. And the guitars are truly captivating. I also wish on third album Jani would sing more with Annette, they sound so good together, especially on concerts.
Drummer’s face is priceless, the guy is on a mission !
fissunix Forreals lol
hahahahahha yeah. so intense
Yea I think so !!!! An impossible mission !!!! Jajajaja

I'm very glad to see many people are happy with Anette's return. She didn't deserve so much hate whatsoever back in her Nightwish era.
Yup. She didn't deserve ANY of the hate she got.
Indeed
Personal taste. She was pretty bad in NW stuff but she sounds very nice in there.
The thing is... this song could easily be mistaken for a song from the Dark Passion Play album
Maybe you were like not allowing yourself to enjoy Nightwish with her for some reason.
I loved Nightwish with her (Imaginaerum is beautiful, a masterpiece).
I love Floor and even if Anette was not my favorite singer, I remember pretty well all the songs she sings with Nightwish (my favorite is The Escapist) and I never hate her. I'm also happy to see her back and I wish the best for her. :)

Poor woman, one day she is going to hurt her vocal cords and it will all be Tuomas' fault.
Amaranth is one of my favorite Anette songs from Nightwish.
Drummer is not about playing games. This is the kind of guy that won't let you down.
This drummer may be serious but he's killin' it!

Yes me too. I think he was awesome At nightwish too but I don't why she got so much hate in there
This song My Sweet Mystery and the song Ghost And The Reaper were written about me and my protector Chip -- he's one of the top ClA agents/programmers and he's been directly and indirectly involved in the creation/production of most lyrics and movies and veedeos etc over the past 8 to 10 years and he included subtle references to me in many songs, while some songs were written about me...
I've been listening to this song so many times...
I represent the Sweet Mystery (his Sweet Mystery) and the Red Rose / The Princess etc, while Chip represents my protector (the sentinel) and the avenger (the one destroying all my enemies) the Reaper/Grim Reaper and the knight and the white rose...

How I've missed that cute dance
Right?! Welcome back, Anette
My thoughts as well ^^
I want to like your comment but I don't want to ruin that epic 200 :D
I know, it didn't work out for Nightwish, but it does here. I also like Floor's cute swaying
How right you are....
Jani Liimatainen is one of the guitar gods. It's good to see him still rocking.
And now he is in Insomnium... Jani can adapt himself to a lot of metal genres
Anette is seriously so adorable. I love her and her voice, so glad to have found The Dark Element.
Edit out the misused big term adorable that only reflects me The Goddess - humnz don’t even realize the true meaning of the word adorable, which means worship-worthy, adoring being the highest form of worship that only exists for me The God(dess) etc, and humnz misusing such term when referring to other humnz or to pets etc makes it sound beyond wrong.
BTW, this song and Ghost And The Reaper and When It All Comes Down and The Dark Element etc are about me & Chip aka the real-life Reaper / Devil / The Heavenly Spy, as are most newer metal / pop lyrics and most Nightwish / CoF / The Dark Element / Unleash The Archers / Rage Of Light etc lyrics and the albums Queen Of Time and Prism etc - Chip (the agent in the dpi) or Darren or whatever his name is sekretlee wrote the lyrics to My Sweet Mystery and Ghost And The Reaper and to the songs Infinity and God Is A ‘Woman’ and I Am Not A Woman, I’m A God and Achingly Beautiful etc about me & him, and gave them to the band The Dark Element (and the other bands etc) to reIease as their own to keep his anonymity as a sekret agent!
This song and Ghost And The Reaper (and Achingly Beautiful by CoF and the recent songs from the albums that contain the songs God Is A ‘Woman’ and I Am Not A Woman, I’m A God and and The Bee and Infinity etc) are mostly based on the nights we spent 2gether back in 2015 - 2016 when the agency allowed him to come to me, and there is a lot of sekret symbolism even in the videos to these songs, where Anette plays The Reaper (aka Chip or Darren or whatever his ‘real’ name is) and wears the Infinity belt in both videos, because I represent the Infinity and Eternity themes etc, and I also represent The Dark Element aka The Night etc, while Chip represents The Day etc...
The lines are directed at me (from Chip’s perspective) and, he really means what he says - he is The Avenger (also referenced in the video to God Is A ‘Woman’ as The Avenger / The Lord) and he’s also my protector aka The Sentinel and the agent hired to run my test, and, it’s similar to what he said to me in his recent poem that he wrote for me...
Freyja Leia Lenore -
the shadow cast o'er fjörds' shores.
Look up to yon mountains of yore,
Whence the flight of Huginn once bore,
The sight of you and dear Thor.
For the mountains of the Norse,
Don't look back with remorse.
They follow Muninn's course -
from Yggdrasil's roots,
To Marduk's voice.
Flying beyond Utu's forts,
And Ea's temple courts,
Your time in place within, began
Before the space of source.
Yours is not to tell,
To break the silent spell.
His flapping eyes do see,
As clear as glass in Mimir's well.
For if you do avow,
Her word forever shall,
Be lifted out - high above,
But you'll return to bow.
To bow - but not to break;
To drink - yea not to slake.
And in so doing,
You will learn,
To nevermore forsake.
Doth quoth the agent of the lake.
(Chip wrote this new poem for me, where he used Norse code to let me know important messages about the oIdman -- he is the best at art and everything else!)

Welcome back Anette!!
It's been a long time since I heard a "debut" album where I LOVED every track, September Mournings was the last one. However, The Dark Element has now moved to the top of that very short list. From the amazing musicianship/writing, to Miss Olzon's AMAZING voice, I'm a fan now! To quote an old Steve Martin joke, "you just can't be sad listening to a banjo", I think the same applies to Anette Olzon's voice, you just can't be sad when listening to it. Well done Dark Element, can't wait for a US tour.
Annette is awesome as always ...miss her in night wish...this new band is great and she is so beautiful ...love to Annette
40k views in one day, the combination Jani + Anette is making effect! And I can't stop hear it! I'm so excited for the album!
This is Jani ppl . The Master Jani. All the jani's work it's pure gold.
Amazing ❤🤘 it's great to have you back Anette ❤🔥 great band, great song and your voice. 🤘🤘🤘
I am obsessed with this song. Talk about showing what she can do.
It feels so good to see Anette comfortably being herself and spreading charisma and happiness. We receive you with all smiles and arms wide open. Thanks 😊
I love how freakin stoic the drummer is lol epic. Anette sounds amazing! Happy to hear her again ^_^ just found this project so now I've got some awesome music to explore
This is the very first symphonic "superband". You have to think in terms of the great 80s band ASIA to understand. Every member is a super star in their own prospective right. Half these guys left Toni Kakko and Sonata Arctica over his sudden mental meltdowns.
The band is recording the 2nd album as we speak and it's planned for release any time now! With a tour to follow. I expect them to be big features at both Wacken and Lowlands and perhaps even PinkPop. The gal no one wanted to like way back in 2008, has won our hearts. Way to go Anette!
Anette rocks. Whatever she sings, I'll listen to. Such a great voice.
Does it always have to be either or? I love all the Nightwish singers. And Annette is smokin in this video. Good on ya girl. This band is great! And you’re fantastic in it.
Beautiful clip.
Anette is amazing.
God bless her 🙏
46 and still kicking ass with her cute dance and awesome voice! I'm ECSTATIC Anette is back and with a VENGEANCE!!! This song is so damn good and epic I CANNOT STOP PLAYING IT!!! Long live Anette and Jani in the Dark Element!!! \m/
Wyldone6984 she's 46! Woah, that's news to me, she looks great for her age, and this song is awesome. Very impressive.
ex-Nightwish Anette Olzon and ex-Sonata Arctica Jani Liimatainen. A good combination. I felt like Sonata Arctica lost a lost of steam when Jani left _that_ band.
Sonata Arctica lost alot when Jani left the band. But he's a great composer, guitarist and a human beeing. This band setup is for the win. :)
Well he didn't leave. He was fired.
I agree.
They didn't even really lose any steam. I love Jani as a guitarist, but I always scratch my head when people say SA lost something when he left. I mean, he wrote one song, the whole time he was there. Other than playing an instrument, he didn't do much else with them.
If anything, leaving allowed him to do a whole lot more with his time and ability.
Jani is my all time favorite guitarist. Happy to see him back.
Love you Anette!
Your talent and voice is exceptional
She's great, better than ever.
The best rock music to come out in years! I'm a Nightwish fan, but this is a step ahead of the game. Annette, your voice is perfect for this group, please keep up the great work!
Anette... Welcome back... We missed you!
A song that could easily fit in Dark Passion Play, well done! Totally amazing to see Anette doing great music again, I miss her in Nightwish
Felipe Junxx yeah it sounds like Bye Bye beautiful... She is way more creative than copying Nightwish and should start relaying on her own abilities
Jazzy Sugar I also think that the keyboard intro sounds a little bit with Storytime, but what the hell! This new project is awesome, looking foward to listen the whole album
I think it is more fit in Imaginaerum
InfinitelyCraft she should do something more independent of her past with Nightwish. This invites haters to compare and criticize her. Annette needs a new style for herself...
The mission this drummer is on is to ROCK 🤘
I'm so happy to see Annette back again. They perfect and sounds powerful pretty. She's an amazing singer, I love her.
Hahaha , the drummer's face at 0:27 looking at her hips moving side to side , epic😆
To think this band is the brainchild of original Sonata Arctica guitarist Jani. I'm loving it!
For those who don't know, the guitar player is Jani Liimatainen, the original guitar player of Sonata Arctica and also the guitar player and boss of the band Cain's Offering, which also has Timo Kotipelto and Jens Johansson from Stratovarius.
Shoot, I didn't recognize him at all. lol
he is basically a guitar god
And altaria
He is was the most important member in Sonata Artica. Their best albums is when he is still in the band .
Annette & Jani great combo!
waino46 I agree!
You shine like never before Annette, you created the best place for you!!
I honestly love this, I only wish the best for Anette. Imaginarium is still an absolutely astonishing Nightwish record. I'm just happy that she's now in a great band on her own, that seems to be much more of her "own" project. Never forget, you're amazing and rock on.
Totally agree with you. Anette is talented and deserves much more love and didn't deserve the rude treatment she got by some NW fans. And the two albums she recorded with Nightwish are, in my opinion, in my top 3 NW albums.
Never liked how she was treated , DPP and imaginearium are my favorite albums , I had the great pleasure to see her live twice , I love her and tbh I miss her .
The misused food term pie must be edited out - it’s beyond ofsv/disrespectful to food when womyn/humnz misuse food terms in their name.
Food / fruit / flower / nature / forest related terms etc and big terms like love / absolutely / best / amazing etc and special names like Maggie etc only reflect me, and cannot be misused by humnz in their name or about other humnz - the misuse of unsuitable terms / names / items etc is soon to be b4nned...
BTW, this song and Ghost And The Reaper and When It All Comes Down and The Dark Element etc are about me & Chip aka the real-life Reaper / Devil / The Heavenly Spy, as are most newer metal / pop lyrics and most Nightwish / CoF / The Dark Element / Unleash The Archers / Rage Of Light etc lyrics and the albums Queen Of Time and Prism etc - Chip (the agent in the dpi) or Darren or whatever his name is sekretlee wrote the lyrics to My Sweet Mystery and Ghost And The Reaper and to the songs Infinity and God Is A ‘Woman’ and I Am Not A Woman, I’m A God and Achingly Beautiful etc about me & him, and gave them to the band The Dark Element (and the other bands etc) to reIease as their own to keep his anonymity as a sekret agent!
Anette is actually my favorite musical artist of this century for 5 reasons ..The 2 Nightwish albums + the 2 Dark Element albums + Strong...
She is wonderful
No olvidar Allen / Olzon ❤
After >Nightwish< Anette founded her *own* symphonic metal project with >The Dark Element< now.
And together with this fantastic guitar player and songwriter in one person, she has so to say found back to her self in this way...
...and (also) made all of her fans happy with this.
And all my hopes and wishes for her became true with this likewise!!!
A voice like hers could not just disappear as if it had never existed.
That is so awesome to hear her on this fantastic album now - and it could barely be better than now...
...therefore more of that - and more and more and ( gladly *much* ) more - I love it!!!
I love this girl and her voice - definitive...
And I love the sound of the instruments in all these songs...
...and I hope his creativity will never end - wishing that Anette will remain the voice of this project for all eternity.
This album could not have been produced better - in my opinion, it´s perfect!
The drummer really seems to enjoy it.
Bittersweet Ev lmfao
The Dark Element is so great, I love you guys You sound terrific!!!!!
Pleaseeee live concert this year!
This is Anette's forte, straight heavy metal! She sounds so good here, what a clear voice! Go Anette!
Everything with the touch of Annette, turns into gold! Perfect !
Well, that doesn't worked for her solo album....
I liked her solo album...
The solo album is perfect and different for being more intimate, I really enjoyed it!
I agree! Her solo album was quite good. Floating, Lies, and Invincible are some of my favs from that album.
Jaaaaniiiiiiiiiii poooor fin!!
This is great! And the 2 NW albums with Anette were for me the best. I just love her voice.
Ya know, this song is exactly what works for Miss Olson... Melodic pop style with heavy guitars & drums...no opera stuff, no unnecessary screaming or straining....just pleasant sounding pop rock/heavy rock.
Can definitely tell this is Jani's work, lol. Love it
She simply has a veeeeery nice voice. Keep on Anette !!!!!!
I'm one of those who never listened to any other Nightwish song when Tarja was gone.
She looks very well at this new stage of her career and this sounds pretty f*cking good!, congratulation to her, my best wishes, she deserve it ;)♥
The drummer has one thing on his mind and he does it well.....
I can't get enough of that video!!
Cada día me gusta más, cada día canta mejor, su evolución es asombrosa!!!
perdon mi ignorancia_____ quien es la que canta??? ademas es hermosa
Se llama Anette olzon, antes cantaba en Nightwish , merece la pena escucharla. Un saludo !!!
ANA ROMERO canta desde mucho antes es la vos de una banda que se llama Alyson Avenue
Después del último album que hizo con Nigtwish, recién la escucho, una tremenda evolución 😍
I really like this video 🥰 Annette looks just fantastic! And there's whole band- I know this nice guy on percussion is different now. I love that Annette is so full of great energy here, she is dancing in her own style, her dress is very stylish. She is fully herself. And the guitars are truly captivating. I also wish on third album Jani would sing more with Annette, they sound so good together, especially on concerts.
Great Guitar Solo!
Her voice is absolutely perfect! She phrases perfectly and the harmonies/backing vox are world class ABBAesque!
This band kicks u hard wth a smile
