audio review : Pronounced Jah-Nay ( album ) … Zhané
Zhané’s music isn’t as exotic as they want you to believe; the grandiose introduction describes it as something you’ve never experienced before; but it is “strong”, “smooth” and occasionally “infectious”.
Mister DJ, their hit single from last year’s Roll Wit Tha Flava compilation, is up front. “What we going to do now is go back,” a voice says over the PA system as if it’s a classic from decades ago.
The best song is For A Reason, which, other than what sounds like clipping; distortion from the vocals being recorded too loud; is flawed only by the “second/minute/hour” part being in the wrong order.
