One week ago, RUN was released into the world. 💙
The amount of love, support and beautiful messages I’ve received since then has been overwhelming in the best possible way. Thank you all for listening, sharing, singing along and making this song part of your lives.
Here’s a little look back at last week’s performance at Pyrkon Festival in Poland. What has been your favourite part of RUN so far?

A good article from Metal Hammer highlighting the new single and the tour, and also mentioning that one of the songs on the upcoming album was written before Lucy's birth in late 2023.
Congratulations to Floor for reaching this incredible milestone so quickly. The new single rules!
Anette posted a video update on her Instagram about the upcoming European tour.

I’m heading back out on tour in Europe!
In 2027, I’ll be returning to club stages across Europe with my HYTRESS Tour, together with my full live band. These new songs have been such a special journey for me, and I can’t wait to finally bring them to life on stage and share them with you.
This music feels close to my heart. A little heavier, more direct, and deeply rooted in the sounds and influences that shaped me as an artist. I’m so excited for this next chapter and to experience it together with you.
Floorworld and Live Nation presales start now. General ticket sales start on Wednesday, July 1 at 12:00 CET through the link in my bio, website and Bandsintown.

I hope to see many of you there ❤️
… and here´s my promise: there are more shows to come! :)

Today is a very special day: RUN is finally yours.
Over the past years, I’ve explored many sides of myself through music. From the deeply personal journey of Paragon to the theatre shows and festival stages, every step has helped me discover more about who I am as an artist. RUN feels like the beginning of the next chapter in that journey.
This song brings me closer to the heavier sounds that shaped my early career. Working with Gordon Groothedde again made this feel like a true full-circle moment. Together, we created something that is powerful, dark and energetic, while still staying true to the emotional honesty that means so much to me.
At its heart, RUN is about freedom. It’s about letting go of the expectations others place on you. It’s about no longer shrinking yourself to fit into someone else’s picture of who you should be. Taking off the mask. Trusting yourself. Choosing your own direction.
For me, this song represents courage and growth, and I’m incredibly excited that I can finally share it with you.
Thank you for being here and for joining me on this journey. Your support means more than you know, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on RUN.
I can’t wait to hear what you think. ❤️

After so many years, it's great to see the legendary Jukka Nevalainen again.
This song was re-recorded by the band's 2012 lineup during rehearsals for the Imaginaerum World Tour in Los Angeles, CA, United States. This is the raw master recording found on the internet a few years after a video performance was posted on the band's YouTube channel, without the "typewriter sound" at the beginning. Unlike the original 2004 version, the keyboard solo was replaced by samples from the songs Stargazers, Gethsemane, and The Wayfarer.
Status: Unreleased
Recorded: January 2012 (SIR Studios, Los Angeles, CA, United States)
Composers: Tuomas Holopainen
Lyricists: Tuomas Holopainen
It's beautiful to see the Yesterwynde songs come to life out there. Footage from yesterday in Poznań, Poland.

Floor was featured on Listverse as #9 among the "10 Women Who Changed Rock and Metal Forever".
I’m so happy to finally share this with you: my new single RUN will be yours on June 26th. ❤️
To me, RUN is about no longer making yourself smaller to fit into a shape that was never yours. It’s about taking off the mask, trusting your own movement, and daring to be seen that way. Musically, it feels like the start of something new. A little heavier, a little more direct, but still honest, still melodic, still completely me.
I’ve been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and I can’t wait for you to hear it! Presave through the link in my bio ❤️

Are the stars aligning for the comeback of some Finnish symphonic metal band? 👀
