Strong is the second solo album by Swedish singer Anette Olzon, released on 10 September 2021 via Frontiers.
According to Olzon, the album takes a heavier approach than her 2014 debut Shine, inspired by bands such as Dimmu Borgir and In Flames. Also, encouraged by her husband Johan Husgafvel (who plays bass and sings growls on the album), she wrote lyrics expressing her views on issues such as wicked leaders and abusive bosses, which differed from the more introspective Shine.
The first single of the album, "Parasite", was released on 21 June 2021, together with the album's announcement. The second single, "Sick of You", came in 19 July. The title track was streamed on the day of the album's release.
No tours were planned for the album due to the COVID-19 pandemic and scheduling conflicts with the musicians involved, but Olzon stated that she would like to begin creating her next album as soon as possible.
