From his early crooning trip-hop to the electro-pop of 2002's Antenna to the state of total despair depicted in his latest album (Self-Portrait), Jay-Jay Johanson has gone through many stages always keeping it real and staying true to himself. Largely unknown in most countries, he built a strong following in both his homeland of Sweden and in France where his jazz influences, trip-hop arrangements and subtle arrangements seem to have fitted best. This compilation covers his seven solo albums released from 1996 to 2008. A little over a decade of one of the most unique and underrated artists of today's scene. I hope you'll like it as much as I do. Enjoy the dreamy, and sometimes gloomy, art of Jay-Jayohanson..
