In the video below, Nightwish singer Floor Jansen performs “Oi Jouluyö” (“O Holy Night”) with Finland's all-star symphonic Christmas rock project, Raskasta Joulua, which translates to "Heavy Christmas”. The performance was filmed on December 17th, 2016 at Metro Areena in Espoo, Finland.
After 20 years of making albums and being on the road, Nightwish has decided to take 2017 off. While Floor Jansen, who is expecting her first child, did not urge for time off, she nonetheless sees it as a welcome break.
Ever since she joined the band on stage in 2012, Jansen has been working non-stop. Having suffered through some though years with a burn-out earlier in her career she knows exactly how important it is to have some distance and focus on other things, like family.
“It taught me what I can and can’t do, and also never to take anything for granted. The dedication and drive is there, but you need to know when to say stop. Just to keep it healthy in a longer run.”
