“Entertain You”

After their release “RESIST“, released 14 December 2018, Within Temptation already hinted on bringing new music soon. Not a full album, but maybe some singles or even an EP. This May, we may expect new music. According to Rock And Roll Army, this won’t be the only new release Within Temptation will have for us in 2020!

The most concrete goal is to release three singles per year and six singles every two years, with eventually a potential album release. The direct goal is to release new tracks more consistently, resulting in both the band and the fans being at the forefront of fresh, newly composed music.

In the Dutch magazine Parool, Sharon den Adel talks about the song, “Entertain You”.

“Entertain You” is about… people aren’t here on planet earth to entertain you. It seems more common for us that people are taking photos or shooting videos all around us these days. On the internet there are numerous of videos where people don’t even know that they’ve been filmed and we laugh about them. This is something we, the society, should be aware of.

But also, “Entertain You” is about your freedom to express yourself in whatever way you want. If we are on a stage, we do this to play our music. There is also a piece of entertainment there, but that’s not the main case. The song is about all those situations in which you can shout to someone you’re not here to entertain them.
