Just Jinjer has inked a new deal with SONY BMG, marking their return to their original recording home with the latest album in their considerable career. The self-titled album from the South African rock group is the first full-length recording undertaken by the group from their Los Angeles homebase. It's also the band's first with a slightly different name, brought about by the pronunciation of "ginger" ('Gee-nger') in America.
JUST JINJER is produced by Sandy Chila, who has joined the band as a guitarist and keyboardist. Matthews and Chila are joined in Just Jinjer's current line-up by long-serving band members, drummer Brent Harris and bassist, Denholm Harding. The release of the new album marks a decade of existence for Just Jinjer.
The first single to be heard on radio is "What He Means", a soaring song that appeals for peace in the world. There are plenty of other new songs on JUST JINJER, including "Shine On You", "Steady", "'Til I'm Done" and "Time Of Your Life". Also adding to the album's appeal are new versions of classic JJ songs like "Home", "Here's To You" and "She Knows".
The group earned platinum status with 1998's SOMETHING FOR NOW, and also did well with ALL COMES ROUND, HERE'S TO YOU, STRANGE WORLD and BOOTLEG ALBUM.
