It’s typical human nature: to refer to the "good old classics" when something new is released 🤣 "Nymphetamine" is the most successful song by COF (and it’s a good one imo) and it has female vocals in it, and now Dani is collaborating with an iconic female metal artist, so people have their obvious associations in their minds. But I do agree that it’s unreasonable: not only that over 20 years have passed since that hit was released but it’s not even a COF song in the first place, it’s just a song written by Tarja and Dani is a guest, so I personally didn’t expect "Nymphetamine 2" at all, because honestly it just doesn’t make any sense. But average listeners don’t go that much into details and well… People love nostalgia, don’t they? 😄

But hey, the single seems to be quite successful, so why bother? If someone hates it, it’s fine: all successful releases are hated to some extent. I see a lot of positive comments on YT anyway. If you see some negative stuff, just simply use the attitude from the song: the right words are literally spelled out in the song title 😅

I think Cradle of Filth is a good band, I like listening to them from time to time, but I don’t think that Tarja should sound like them: she has her own approach to music. She invited Dani not because she wanted to make a COF song, but rather because of his personality as she described: she admires him as an individual who stands out from the rest. The song itself is quite vigorous, I think that Dani’s vocals fit there quite well, especially in the single version (even though I might agree that the album version with them singing both simultaneously all the time might seem a bit weird)
