Would a Nightwish and Halestorm collaboration be possible? Probably, since Floor Jansen apparently wants to work with Lzzy Hale.
In a new interview with The Charismatic Voice, the Nightwish singer was asked if she worked with anyone from the Heineken Music Hall in 2005 and if she got starstruck by any rocker. The singer said she didn’t and added: “I would love to work with Lzzy Hale.”
When the interviewer mentioned that Jansen should work with Lzzy Hale, the Nightwish singer added: “We’ve met her once at a festival in the UK. There I met her and I felt a little starstruck because ever since I heard that beginning note of ‘I Miss The Misery’ that song, I’m like, ‘Okay, yes, yeah.’”
Jansen’s love for Halestorm and the frontwoman is well-known among the fans and the press. The singer named Halestorm’s ‘The Strange Case Of…’ as one of the ten albums that changed her life.
“I’m not sure exactly how I stumbled upon ‘I Miss The Misery,’ but that was the first thing I heard from Halestorm,” she recalled. “The first thing Lzzy Hale does in the song is this howl, and she really got me on the first note – that’s rare. I was like, ‘Okay, damn!’ It’s very American-produced and that hook of ‘whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh’ is pretty cheesy, but it totally works!”
“I’ve seen her live and all I can think is, how on Earth does your voice survive? She screams and kicks and grunts and everything she does is super cool. Lzzy is a powerhouse, she stands for being feminine in a man’s world and describing her feelings quite to the point in her lyrics,” the singer said of the Halestorm frontwoman.
Hale hasn’t responded to Jansen’s comments yet.
