Review by Tony Born

Janita's self-titled album is a masterpiece of soulful and introspective music. The Finnish singer-songwriter's stunning vocals are on full display throughout the album, with each track showcasing her incredible range and emotional depth.

From the hauntingly beautiful "I Miss You" to the upbeat and infectious "That's How Life Goes," Janita's songs are both deeply personal and universally relatable. Her lyrics explore themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with a level of honesty and vulnerability that is truly rare.

The album's production is equally impressive, with lush instrumentation and richly layered arrangements that perfectly complement Janita's vocals. Whether she's backed by a full band or performing solo with a piano, Janita's music is always captivating and engaging.
