 "Tuulikannel" is the title track for the new JONNE single. Jonne Järvelä said about : The basic riff and idea for the song came about when Jaana and I were on the European Tour at the beginning of 2024. More specifically in Germany, in the city of Aschaffenburg and at the Colos-Saal venue in the late afternoon when the soundcheck was done. It actually started when I was strumming the guitar and the rhythm of the song got Jaana interested and she wanted to go further with it.   Then I finished the compose later at home and Jaana started writing the lyrics.  Sami, Yoko and John wrote really good arrangements for their Instruments. I am more than happy about their work and this line-up And Jaana Järvelä concluded : The tempo of the song really grabbed me, just as it also grabbed the spirit that goes along with the song. There is also a playfulness in the rhythm of the song that even makes you smile, so it needed strong, telling lyrics.
