Janine Stange isn't just another pretty face in pop music. Straight out of Long Island, New York, performing
often in local churches or cafes, Janine has a vocal power stronger than a lot of more well-known artists in her
genre. With a radio-friendly pop sound that is quite accessible, Janine pieces together a worthy independent
debut with Lifetime Guarantee. Some songs on Lifetime are more effective than others, but
her sounds is diverse and her voice versatile.
Janine's vocals are occasionally reminiscent of the powerful deliveries artists like Kathy Troccoli have
become known for. Lifetime Guarantee offers primarily an adult contemporary sound with passionate
melodies and a truly soulful flavor. Probably the most memorable song on the record is the passionate "Rhythm Of My Heart,"
especially its raw unplugged version.
Stange is certainly a talent not to overlook. The sound on Lifetime Guarantee isn't for everyone, but
fans of passionate vocals and delicate pop melodies might find a new favorite with Janine Stange.
