Sounds Like: “Amee Jana's voice is a powerhouse -- easily comparable to Aretha Franklin.” –--Chris Carpenter, Skope Magazine

“Amee Jana ranges in her crooning mode! One moment you can hear a little Diana Krall….The next moment, she sounds like a high energy Donna Summer, just waiting to erupt!” ---Erik Jensen, Revolving Door Magazine

“……I enjoyed the sultry vocals of singer Amee Jana. She emanates an earthy sexuality as she shimmies on stage.” -Thomas Pizzola, Hartford Advocate
