I remember never having anywhere to discuss her music while getting into her entire discography a few years ago.
what? what are you talking about? When she stopped releasing music?
She released two albums in 2012 (Over the Rainbow, Symphonic Collection in Moscow), in 2013 she released one physical single (TRY AGAIN) and one digital single, in 2014 she released one physical single (STAND BY YOU) and one best of album for her 15th anniversary (LOVE & HOPE), in 2015 she released one digital single (Serendipity), also in 2016 she released digital single (SAWAGE LIFE), not mentioning that she did like three or four live shows in the meantime (Symphonic Live - also released on DVD/BR), and in 2017 she released a new album (Smile), a best of album (Conan Theme Songs) and one physical and one digital single.
So when this 5-years long break when she stopped releasing music was supposed to happen? She has never said she is on hiatus or anything.
