"Nothing has changed, I am still the same Jay-Jay Johanson. Look into my eyes, you will understand everything yourself...". In the summer of 1996, Johanson released his first album "Whiskey" with the unforgettable hit "So Tell The Girls That I Am Back In Town". Ten years later, Jay-Jay gifts us with his seventh album titled "The Long Term Physical Effects Are Not Yet Known". Possessing a soft and melancholic voice, with an innate sense of style and originality, he is not just a star. He has the gift of embodying our feelings, emotions, and fleeting sensations in music. That's why his songs are so captivating. Once you hear them, you don't tire of returning to them again and again. The musician himself describes his new work as follows: "You know, my album is dominated by an autumn mood. It clearly reflects a sense of emotional excitement and sadness. I decided to completely abandon the electronic sound, which I thoroughly experimented with in the album 'Antenna' (2002) and flirtations with French house, as in the penultimate work 'Rush' (2006). 'The Long Term...' is perhaps the jazziest album I have ever recorded.
