Now this is true vocal talent. Far exceeding the "glitter and glam" displayed by so many media-made-popular vocalist. I am simply amazed that she is not more in the forefront. I have been a fan of Janita from the beginning. She is simply "smooth."
I was lucky enough to catch her in concert back in 06, with Nick Colionne, and others. At the time, Enjoy the Silence was in heavy rotation on local jazz radio. Imagine how the audience reacted once Janita hit the stage. The crowd went bananas! Wow!
ooh wee this is supertight.sounds kinda like maysa and blu cantrell mixed with her delivery.not like anita baker.but she's smooth like anita that's the only similarity.
Janita Maria Raukko[on 28 December 1978)is a Finnish smooth jazz, soul, and R&B singer-songwriter. Born in Helsinki, she started her career in Finland and moved to Brooklyn later. Janita has released five albums in her native Finland—one of which, 2001's Tunteita, was released in English to the U.S. market. Her latest album, Seasons of Life, was released in the United States on 16 May 2006
According to her official website, Janita is to release a new album in autumn 2009.[
She sounds a lot like Anita Baker, whom I've truly enjoyed for years. Not so much her voice as much as her music style, though. I fell in love with "I Miss You" instantly and currently have it as my feature video. Now I want to check out other songs she sings. : )
That explains it though. Jazz is still huge overseas. Joss Stone is another one that I swore was black until I saw her on TV. They just appreciate it more over seas. It started in America and is not popular here anymore. So sad...
1st & only time I heard this joint was on a sat. music channel; I jotted down her name & song title with the intent of searchin for her. I 2 was surprised to find out that she wasn't black. . .very soulful; i really like this song.
