CD IN STOCK. ORDER NOW. Will ship immediately.
Cooler than a black panther on ice... Great electronic/alt/pop with an undercurrent of soul. Goldfrapp with a tad of Gwen Stefani - attitude, original, provocative, sexy.

notes
TAJBER Records present recording artist, Janeska and her debut album, "The Objective".
Singer-songwriter Janeska calls her music "eclectic-electric-pop" and her combination of commercialism and artistry are leading her to a large and devoted fan base eager to cut their teeth on her original sounds. Whether mocking a past relationship in the pop jam "On Your Knees," or expressing her inner turmoil against a massive wall of guitars in the hard rocking "Highest Of Pain," Janeska's listeners always find a way to identify with her in a manner they can't accomplish with anyone else. Janeska's vocal prowess simply defies rational explanation. Her ethereal voice sounds innocent and girlish one moment, sultry and seductive the next, all while pushing and pulling against the beat in a manner that defines a distinctive rhythm no one can duplicate. Her mastery of the English language is evident in her profound and trenchant lyrics; most girls can't get away with words like "exigency" in their songs and still manage to make it catchy as hell.
"The Objective" is a bold blend of music sincerity and seduction. Lyrically engaging and thought provoking, musically surpassing its' alt/pop genre, "The Objective" is an inspiring debut album from Janeska.

Here’s what I would like to see in a female artist, someone that has hot tracks that will make you dance... stand-out tracks include What The Heart Wants, Highest Of Pain, and On Your Knees.

"The Objective provides a rhythmic backdrop for her stories of love and lost, caught between a Madonna and a Mrs. Federline sandwich. Janeska's catchy, tongue twister lyrics and throaty voice...perfectly match the electronic melodies. It is this vocal virtuosity that rises above conventionally synthesized instruments to an otherworldly realm." - Michelle M. Wallace for Theowlmag.com
Janeska purrs out the music on her first CD [The Objective] This old disco-head's favorite track is "What the Heart Wants" which I would use in the mix at any club. It reminds me of something the recently departed Laura Branigan would sing, but at a slightly faster beat. The title track "The Objective" drives its self-promoting message with a rhythm reminiscent of the theme to an action movie. It is the theme of her motivation to sing. The most interesting song is "Moonlight," a mystical, sexy, far-eastern sounding ballad. I resist the thinking that it's just on there to set up the up-tempo remix which stands on its own viability as a dance record, but you make the call. "Highest of Pain" is the CD's last original track (the next four are radio edits and remixes), and is for the rocker in you. Pay attention to Janeska's lyrics and you will respect her art all the more for the very open-minded and inclusive thought the obviously went into this project. Janeska is a left-coast looker who has global potential." - Jimi Bruce for About.com
'On Your Knees was getting the most airplay...on 'The Lock-In' and also 'The Infect'ive Mix Show' aired 55 stations worldwide from AM in the UK to FM in New York and the Far East." - Chris Brophy at chrisbrophy.co.uk
'[The Objective is] Full of good stuff... like getting the spastic energy and creativity of Bjork 10 years ago, fused with the logic and vocal virtuosity of Michelle Branch." - Pioneer
'[Her] Liz Phair meets Tori Amos voice has a seductive quality that entices you to pay attention to the intelligent lyrics. [The Objective is] full of life due to solid instrumentation and a decided effort to do something a bit beyond the ordinary." - Music Morsels
'This is an excellent record with interesting parallels to Poe and the Sneaker Pimps. 4 STARS" - Poseidon for Gothic Beauty Magazine
'[The Objective] How do you describe this? Great electronic, almost trip-hoppy sound, and an undercurrent of soul. ' - Music Reviews for the Common Man
'Janeska is cool where Bjork is hot and hot where Everything But The Girl is cool." - Eugene Robinson of Oxbow

Playful and fun
author: Birgitte, NorwayA bit disappointing that there are so many remixes on the album instead of more tracks like "On your knees" and "Highest of pain" in original version, which are the strongest tracks on the album. However, all in all the album is packed with playfulness... I like it!
Janeska = Bjork meets Gwen Stefani in-between killer hooks.
author: Dj ColaThank you.
sing and dance along - what more do you want?!
author: AmyMusic to get your feet tapping, and a great voice too - if this doesn't get you bopping in your seat, you must be clinically dead! Reminds me of Gwen Stefani - another cool chick with bags of attitude and the talent to match.
Makes you want to move to the groove
author: GothravenwingsThis cd makes you want to move... I found the lyrics to be somewhat haunting... found myself singing these tunes when the cd wasn't playing. A great voice with backup beats to match! I can't wait for your next album Janeska- you rock!
awesome
author: spThe combination of rhtyms is awesome and the voice, very sexy, sultry and seductive
New Flava
author: JinxThese seductive grooves are just what I need to bring out the animal in me...
It's about time!
author: SheryleThis CD is jacked! We needed something new and fresh and we got her. Her songs makes you want to bop your head and thump your feet. Her voice speaks to you and you will listen...Janeska will make tracks. Stay tuned. You go girrrrl !
Girls can kick ass too!
author: jEnNyI really love this CD. She's got great lyrics and an amazing voice and it's very original. None of that watered down crap that girls always sing about how they just want a cute boy to love them blah blah blah sHUT UP! Janeksa could probably crush Britney Spears in a boxing match... and she's prettier too.
Great voice...sexy...sultry...
author: - cliff -Man! the songs just put me in different mooods, it's a great album. Janeska sings to you with a sexy, sultry voice. Great for listening and dancing to/with. Listening to Janeska in surround sound is awesome! I hope to see a video for On Your Knees.
i can dig it
author: timi'm more of a hip-hop guy, but i can definitely get down with this. she has a nice voice and it flows well with the beat & basslines of the music. i love songs that actually say something but you can still dance to them. great cd all around. much props to the singer, songwriter, and producer.
Janeska Rocks!
author: Marnie CarterThis CD brings back the feeling I had when enjoying the musical style of Berlin. Sexy voice, sexy styling and a grab your coat, conquer the world, bad bitch edge. Love it!
