Within Temptation share new single with Eurovision’s Jerry Heil

Having teamed up with BLIND8 for last September’s Labyrinth, Within Temptation are continuing to share their support for Ukraine by releasing a new track with 2024 Eurovision star Jerry Heil.

The pair join forces for Sing Like A Siren, which is taken from the band’s recent The Invisible Force documentary that saw vocalist Sharon del Adel pay an important visit to the country.

Jerry calls Sing Like A Siren “more than just a song – it’s a soundtrack to the film we are living in”, and goes into further detail about its meaning: “There are two main characters in this story: a girl and an elemental force: water. However, as the story unfolds, we realise that, in fact, there is only one – because humans and nature are one. The raging water represents the challenges we face on the way to our ‘safe harbour’. But the key is understanding that we don’t have to fight nature, once we see ourselves as part of it, we realise that sometimes, we are the ones who create the storm.”

Of working with the band, Jerry enthuses, “I have been a fan of Within Temptation since my teenage years and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day we would create a song together. It is an incredible honour for me. Both the band and I performed at the Ukrainian music festival Atlas Weekend, where we first met in Kyiv. At that moment, I knew I couldn’t let the opportunity slip away – I had to suggest working on something together. Sharon’s vocal style is deeply authentic and resonates with my artistic vision, so I instantly knew it would be a wild fusion: rock, classical vocals, and Ukrainian folk motifs.”
