    Her lyrics draw you in, as she explores the chemistry of attraction on the title track to an appropriately sexy descending chord sequence, while a fly-by-night lover gets his comeuppance on Easy Street. [Oct 2018, p.84]

    It’s a considered, thoughtfully constructed record that adheres to a stylish, seductive aesthetic.

    If there are a few stylistic surprises, there's spirit to spare on the invigorating "Easy Street" and the lusty, bluesy "Fast Lane." [Oct 2018, p.34]

    The record conjures an atmosphere of twilit sadness, but the songs themselves--languid and forgettable--fail to mark Stein out from dolorous troubadours past. [Oct 2018, p.116]

    When so much of what Juanita had written for Until the Lights Fade clearly involves a folk-rock flavour, it’s a shame it wasn’t fleshed out accordingly.

    The thing i love most about Juanita’s music is her voice - it’s clear, bright, smooth, distinct. It reminds me of an early-career Lana DelThe thing i love most about Juanita’s music is her voice - it’s clear, bright, smooth, distinct. It reminds me of an early-career Lana Del Rey. If she were to delve into dream pop/ alternative I could see her becoming just as successful. My favourite song has to be All the Way. From the very first chord you know exactly what the tone of the album’s going to be - a sort of melancholy, desert rock sound juxtaposing a country airiness and levity. I can’t wait to see what Juanita comes out with next, from America to Until the Lights Fade, she’s going from strength to strength! Expand
