I first became aware of Jana Mashonee through her
appearance in For The Generations. They did not play enough of her music to
really get a sense of her as an artist, but I had thought it might be more
dance-oriented.
That aspect is there. Her new single "Rocket
Launch" could be played in dance clubs. Generally speaking, though, many
of the songs off of her 2010 album, New Moon Born, could fit better into
adult contemporary, and show strong Gospel roots.
Her 2015 songs may show a different direction, but
her slower songs are beautiful. I was especially taken with "Solid
Ground".
There are funkier tracks on New Moon Born as
well - "Miracle" is a good example of that - and her take on Sam
Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" merits listening. Thinking about the
songs separately they don't seem to go together, but listening to the album
together works.
The 2015 tracks have videos up as well, so it seems
reasonable to assume there is more content coming. It is worthwhile to review her
past songs first, and I enjoyed them.
