Honeyed, mellow, flexible voice

"Denise Jannah sounded like a less r&b Anita Baker and a satiny-voiced Dianne Reeves. Her swinging renditions of songs and her unique phrasing are the album's main selling points. She did an irresistibly swing-y "My Favorite Things" complete with walking syncopations and crooned "The Shadow of Your Smile" in French. Best of all is her rendition of Monk's "`Round Midnight" where she entered and re-entered the song subtly like a horn. Definitely a talent worthy of investigation and if there is true justice out there, she should be as famous as those other jazz divas basking in media attention for soing what Jannah does effortlessly and with loads of sophistication."
Denise Jannah is amazing

"I thoroughly enjoyed Denise Jannah's album "The madness of our love". I am novice to the jazz vocalist scene but I found Jannah's vocals and song selection great. The title song is a rich and melodic song that is perfect "chilling" music. On "My Favorite Things" Jannah delivers a beautiful but different rendition of the popular song. Denise Jannah is an amazing jazz singer and I would strongly suggest that anyone interested in jazz vocalists or Sarah Vaughan to purchase the album."
