Johanna is a very succesful singer by Finnish standards. Somebody was already suggesting some of her solo work, and she's also in Altamullan Road if you'd like to hear more in English.
Where Floor is the Valkyrie Goddess Johanna is the Elvin Princess..Kai Hahto plays drums on the new Auri album..You should do Desert Flower from the first album as it features Troy more prominantly
Her sound is very fragile, emotional and angelic. Her solo career songs are pretty heart breaking (so emotional and sad) and those songs are packed with a poetic lyrics but most of them are in foreign language. Some of her good solo songs: Johanna Kurkela - Kuolevainen (I once made english translation for the lyrics in youtube), Johanna Kurkela - Oothan tässä vielä huomenna (I once made english translation for the lyrics in youtube), Johanna Kurkela - Sun särkyä anna mä en. I don't usually even listen to that kind of music (I love Black Metal, Death Metal, Doom Metal, Metalcore, Thrash Metal, Progressive Metal and such), but her music has the strenght to shed some tears out of my eyes so that means some high standard quality right there.
Some of her english songs: Johanna Kurkela - Nothing Else Matters (Metallica cover), Sonata Arctica Feat. Johanna Kurkela - No Dream Can Heal A Broken Heart, Eye of Melian - Doorway of Night (Official Video), Eye of Melian - The Bell (Official Video), Eye of Melian - Vita Nova (single edit - Official Video), Eye of Melian - Everstrong (Official Video), TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN - A Lifetime of Adventure (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

I advise you to listen to the whole album, it is full of little pearls.
I rock out to NightWish, but listen to Auri when I am in the forest hiking. Auri’s music is so calm and soothing. Glad you loved it! ❤️

From Johanna Kurkelas solostuff I recommend her song "Kuolevainen" (it means "mortal"). 🥰
Johanna and Troy sound absolutely beautiful together.
Night 13 is probably my favorite Auri song.
