Prison Of Desire turned 25!!!
25 years ago, my very first album ever, was released! With the band I joined as a teenager: After Forever! For years we had worked on writing songs and learning how to be a band. For me, all was new. I never wrote music for an album before. I never sang on one, and when we recorded the vocals, I had never had a vocal lesson in my life yet.
How did you get to know about this record, and when? Any favorites songs or memories from those days? Please share 🩷

A picture from the very first show supporting the Paragon album - my first solo release. You can imagine how thrilling that moment was for me. Forever grateful for the beautiful support I felt during that show and tour.
It was a real pleasure to see so many of your beautiful smiles, and I hope to see you again soon.
Were you there? Did you catch any show from the Paragon tour?

From hearing its first notes in hotel rooms across Europe, to its release! Here is Yesterwynde!
Such a journey it made already due to the pandemic and my personal experiences. Written during the silent days at home. Met by its band members during the Human Nature tour. Recorded while I was pregnant and giving birth to not an album, but a baby girl. And today it’s there for you, too. It’s not just ours anymore. I am beyond proud to present it to you and I am very curious to hear your thoughts and feelings on it. Let me know!
