More Information:

Splash Music Productions are proud to introduce ‘Passion’ – the new EP from Janine Johnson.

 Janine Johnson – ‘Passion’

Seductive, Soulful, Smouldering….. Janine Johnson’s stunning new EP ‘Passion’ is a collection of classy and thought provoking tracks that convey a universal message of love, passion for life and the ever exhilarating journey it is to live following your PASSION. Think Jill Scott, Erykah Badu and Sade, Janine is all of these and more.

Passion EP Track List

1. Passion

Sultry and seductive, sweet and soulful, Janine demonstrates her considerable vocal prowess on this mid tempo title track. Let yourself go and ignite that passion!

2. Optimistic

The only cover track on the EP, this is Janine’s take on this classic Nu-Soul anthem. Whilst staying true to the original, you can be sure that Janine has added more than just a touch of her unique style and smouldering vocals to this wonderfully uplifting song.

3. Thank You

From the powerful piano/vocal opening, this track takes you on a journey. From mellow lows to towering highs, this funky, sassy track will not fail to move you.

4. All That Moves

Reminiscent of a James Bond movie theme, ‘All That Moves’ is a gentle observation of life and love that soothes and caresses the listener into total submission.
