The late Jan Werner's final album has at last been released in his home country of Norway. Some record stores had it for sale early enough for the sale to be counted in for the Norwegian album chart this week, and Jan Werner reached number 12.

The CD contains 14 songs, all of them with Jan Werner’s amazing voice as a center of the songs. The Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet gave it a 4 out of 6 on the dice:

Remember me are the two last words on this CD, and that is exactly what people are going to do. Jan Werner’s sudden death will give a special attention to this record. If he was still amongst us this would only be another step in his development as an artist, but now it is th end of a very special career in Norwegian music.

Jan Werner is singing together with Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and studio instruments. His vocals are as usual extraordinary going from very deep to very high tones, also with his characteristic whispering being a part of it.

The songs in Jan Werner’s Stronger are mostly well performed ballads with good orchestration, many in the typical musical style that we have heard from him before.
