Then, he takes over the process and then he sends it to the mixing guy when he's done with all the files and adding some guitars in the end and stuff like that. Then I send my files and my choirs, the harmonies, I do as I want to and all those ad-libs and things. Normally, I raise them quite a lot in the studio. Otherwise, he sends me the demos and I start to listen to them a little bit, then when I enter the studio, I change the keys so it fits my voice because he sings them. I had been in a little more creative process this time. This album, actually, he asked me to send some lyrics that I felt like writing and I did, and he picked some of the lyrics for 'Pills On A Pillow', for instance. On how the creative process in THE DARK ELEMENT works:Īnette: "This is how it goes: Jani is the creator, so he always makes the songs, then he sends me the demos and the lyrics.

It a bit darker songs, but still very melodic, so it suits it fine." So, when they decided this, I guess it was a good name for the album. I don't know how much Jani had a say, but I think when they decided that this song should be a single because we always have a say, but they are the ones responsible in the end deciding singles. On what inspired the title for THE DARK ELEMENT's second studio album, "Songs The Night Sings":Īnette: "This is always the record company that chooses these things.
