Album Of The Week

"Jan Olsen's 'Spirit Chant' is simply a very positive surprise!"

- Micheles Kindh / Blaskan -

"Danish musician and singer songwriter Jan Olsen is characterized by a deep and somewhat hoarse voice. On his records he performs songs that have been influenced by a wide range of music genres. This is now also the case with the songs on his recent album, 'Spirit Chant', on which he performs 9 compositions of his own, which were created after an intensive collaboration with co-composers Peter Sund and Susanne Ove."

- Fred Pach / Muziekwereld -

"Jan Olsen's 'Spirit Chant' is an album that grows with each spin. Initially there were 2 notable songs, but after repeated listening, there is more recognition and acknowledgment of the quality of the songs written. Ultimately, 'Spirit Chant' have 9 songs that are close to this listener's heart. A very nice release."

- Jaks Schuit / Real Roots Café -

"The husky voice of Danish singer songwriter Jan Olsen is his major trademark in the songs on his new record 'Spirit Chant'. He is varying sensitive ballads with soft rocking melodies on this 9 track album that was nicely produced by Peter Sund in his Farm Studio in Odense.“

- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -

"If you’re a fan of Tom Waits, Joe Cocker or Randy Newman, you will surely love the raw voice of Jan Olsen, a Danish singer songwriter who delivers a great album with 'Spirit Chant'. It’s musically speaking a mix of singer songwriter, blues, pop and rock. 9 great songs that pass by very quickly!"

- Gabor Kleinbloesem / Strutterzine -
