After going through several line-up changes in the 2000s, the band turned into a one-man musical project, when Giordana parted ways with the rest in the band in 2007. He subsequently released Score to a New Beginning in 2009 as Fairyland, with guest musicians and singers. In 2015 however, Fairyland became a band once again with a full line-up, including Lievin, returning for the first time since 2004.
