Steve Quirk’s Smooth Jazz Radio Show
- Smooth FM
Radio presenter
Steve Quirk from the UK jumped on
the CD right away and has been playing
it on his Fusion Flavours show in the UK
as well as across Europe on Smooth FM
(www.smoothfm.com)
Steve aired the track "On the other
side" on his syndicated US radio show on
Sunday February 26th 2006 with instant
response.
Here’s what Steve Quirk had to
say about “Good Life”
-"As soon as I discovered the
CD, It was a joy, I loved it!
It has a bluesy Erika Badu meets
Billy Holliday groove and Johanna's
voice is silky, classy, sexy and
sophisticated. The outstanding
tracks on the CD for me are, the
mellow "Sometimes", the funky
"Suck it up" the groovy
"Hush" and the floater "My oh
my". The two big tracks that I
see having "massive potential"
across radio are, the beautiful and
sublime "Thank you", and the
excellent "On the other side".
Both have that class and
sophistication of Norah Jones tune
and potential to be HUGE!"

Magic 99 Edmonton - [ Good Life ]
“At Magic 99, we felt there were
dozens of artists in our community who
deserved a place on the radio, or if
they had already received some cursory
airplay in Edmonton, the deserved a
permanent home. It was through the
process of starting up our Rawlco Radio
10k20 project, that we were exposed to
the delightful Johanna Sillanpaa.
Her marvellous voice begins in the smoky
lows of Norah Jones, and effortlessly
climbs into the powerful, confident
ranges of Lisa Stansfield. Since Magic
99’s sign on in December of 2005, we
have added two of her original
compositions, “Suck It Up” and “Spend
Some Time”, into daytime rotation. A
number of other cuts have found their
way onto our station as well. Magic 99
and Rawlco Radio are delighted to have
played a very small part in the
evolution of this very talented
individual”.
