FROM LISTENERS

... "Thank you for this beautiful album"

"The firrst time I listened to Dinosaurs Musical Day, I just listened to the melodies and smiled over Jeanine's joy which comes across so well. The second time I sat with the lyrics so I could follow all the stories. Jeanine has a special ability to see the animals from a child's point of view and the melodies have a contagious spirit" Leslie Lazar  Chicago

" I listen to this CD in my car when I drive from our remote country location into town. It is very comforting and I love the music. Her song "Mighty Raven" was playing and a raven flew next to the car on one drive! Awesome! Thank you Jeanine. "One Light" is my favorite CD."

A helping voice...This recording is for anyone who has ever felt depressed and alone. The lyrics reach out, with understanding and encouragement. The more one listens, the better one feels. Thank-you, and congratulations!

ONE LIGHT... STAR LIGHT...Jeanine Michaels is a Star, and the light of her latest CD, One Light, shines to illuminate the struggle for recovery and sobriety. Her feminist approach is perfectly keyed to the lyrics and never overwhelms the wonderful music. She is a Star, an Artist, and One Light proves it to all who are fortunate enough to listen and understand. A wonderful, uplifting present, for yourself or your closest friends.

listen to this CD in my car when I drive from our remote country location into town. It is very comforting and I love the music. Her song "Mighty Raven" was playing and a raven flew next to the car on one drive! Awesome! Thank you Jeanine. "One Light" is my favorite CD.

One light....her music is uplifting and inspirational truly a hidden treasure waiting to be found...

To Ms. Michaels, I found the music to have a tranquilizing effect, while the lyrics were quite powerful. This CD is rich with gentle Spirituality. Wave of the Dolphins had me out frolicking with them in the joy and peace that they are, but remember it is your music that took me there, I thank you. No Mirrors made me sad and angry but not at you...the lyrics made me see myself. Code 5150 the music effectively creates the mood but your vocal control had such lovely inflections that is soared. Here are some words...Universal Divinity, luminescent, uplifting and so beautifully performed. You took important issues and brought God into the party (and the guests didn't even know it!) No Mirrors Today...it was sad and got to me quite effectively, perhaps we recognize ourselves. The 12 steps also touched me..White Butterfly is kinda bluesy and made my Spirit soar. It's a wonderful CD of you, for you, by you. Creativity is what Spirit is and is what Spirit has given us. It's Hot! And I am delighted to know someone who knows about that Spirit and uses the gifts. You are truly blessed.

A collection of 12 heartfelt and deeply spiritual vocals corresponding to the 12 Steps that pay honest tribute to the power of the pain and triumph during recovery. There’s nothing superficial about the experience in Michaels’ music and lyrics, and I like particularly that her children are a tender vein that runs through her recovery, like ballast in a ship, making her experience uniquely womanly. The music and lyrics she has written are adult contemporary and she’s backed by some talented and well-known musicians.

We just got the coloring book that goes with the Dinosaurs CD and my daughter has been enjoying coloring along to each song. It's a family activity and the CD is perfect for family time

From Parents

Beautiful Jeanine!   It brought me back to the 1960’s, (or was it  70’s) when you were traveling in Europe.  You sent the most interesting letters to your parents (that your dad shared with my mom) on your adventures.  We marveled then, at your gift of writing on how you made words come alive.  God has truly blessed you with with gifts of writing and song.  Let us not forget to give God Almighty the praise for our amazing planet and universe which He created.  

Keep on writing cousin

Patty

Once in a great while a talent like Jeanine Michaels comes along. She sings passionately and poignantly in a rich contralto. Moreover Jeanine writes all of her work. As a performer her skill is remarkable. And as writer/composer she out does herself with each new piece. Whether it's melancholy or uplifting the performance of each of Jeanine's work match the mood. My personal favorite is Wave of the Dolphin. This work truly brings me joy and White Butterfly is wonderfully bluesy in a very different way. Jeanine Michaels One Light CD is, in my opinion, guaranteed to succeed!

..Each shining song is a gem...intelligent lyrics, a message of hope, and a "surprise" concept!"

"...ballad to rocker, this one has style!

FOR VIDEO AND SONG

Jeanine Michael's previous release, "Dinosaur's Musical Day," was an exceptional, well written and highly intelligent children's album which, of course, was directed at a much younger audience. After entertaining children with her musical creativity, she decided to release a collection of songs to entertain their parents and "One Light" is the end result of her efforts. This twelve track album could be tagged with a pop label, but, to do it justice, it should be considered mature pop or even adult contemporary. Much like her children's release, this album is highly intelligent with lyrics that almost everyone can relate to because her subject matter remains based around our own humanity. Jeanine also ventures into rock territory from time to time through out this release, which gives her music more variety. This is an album for those of you who simply appreciate good music and, for those of you with pre-teen children, you might wanna look into "Dinosaur's Musical Day" and give them something that's a million times better than any of those other "kiddie" albums you currently have to tolerate. Stand out tracks here include "Wave Of The Dolphin," "Let Love Live Here" and "The Chill: Code 5150." This is an album for those of you who simply appreciate good music.
