“A very nice album indeed! 'My Oh My' is currently in rotation in my radio show 'The Soul of Amsterdam' for Starpoint Radio. Those that have been able to listen to my shows the past 25-years, know that I play-list nothing but the best - no matter the artist/track record/label or country, Keep up the good work Johanna, We're loving' it! “

“Her marvelous voice begins in the smoky lows of Norah Jones, and effortlessly climbs into the powerful, confident ranges of Lisa Stansfield. Magic 99 and Rawlco Radio are delighted to have played a very small part in the evolution of this very talented individual”

- Kurt Leavins
Program Director Magic 99, Edmonton, CA

“That Real world education- the one the Swedish-born performer received in Jazz clubs as a solo artist, or in acts such as Yomozo and ‘Sillan & Young’- can be heard in the smooth sexy jazz and R&B of Good Life. The songs show off a confident performer very much able to compete on an international level.”
