Turunen recently recorded three songs for a Finnish Christmas album, produced by
Olli Ahvenlahti. According to
Turunen, this is "a charity project for missionary workers in Finland and it is going to be released in the beginning of November in Finland."
Tarja Turunen has set
"What Lies Beneath" as the working title of her new solo CD, tentatively due in early 2010. She says, "With [2007's]
'My Winter Storm', I chose the name of the album in the early stages and that helped me to create the concept for the album. With the new album, I decided to do it the same way, so I searched for an inspiring title and all the songs are one way or another related to it."
