Tarja Turunen was asked if she missed anything about her time with the Nightwish in a recent interview with Brazil’s Ibagenscast.
I don’t, actually. I don’t. Because the music lives. It lives in my heart. It lives out there. It will be forever. That will be forever. But the rest of it, I don’t. I can say ‘unfortunately’, in a way. I spent — what? — almost nine years with the band. I’ve been a solo artist 20. So it’s not that long time. We did great albums together. We did great music together, but we were not happy, I have to say. This is the thing — the happiness is everything to me. Even with the people that I work [with] today, I want everybody being happy around me. It’s so important, because if you really go through this life without being happy, even without being able to be happy and feel the happiness… Music is emotion, and it starts eating you up. You need to find that love inside of you. Love, for me, was music. The first love ever in my life was music. And if I cannot express myself, really, with that love that there is in me, it’s not good. I’m not in a good place.

And about her future, she said:
Actually, we are starting little by little producing the new record. So, of course, now I still have a lot of touring to do; until September, I will be more or less on the road. I need to write the lyrics for the album. I’ll start writing the lyrics in September and the production starts at the same time, more or less, for the album already. But we have started already, so the songs are done. Yeah, it’s coming. It’s coming. I’m very excited. I hope you’ll love my work, because, yeah, I think that it’s a very, very nice album that is there.
