Tangerine (Vixen album)
Tangerine is the third album by the American rock band Vixen. It was recorded without contributions from Jan Kuehnemund and Share Ross, then going by the name Share Pedersen. The line-up for this album consisted of Janet Gardner, Gina Stile, and Roxy Petrucci. Tangerine has a different sound from the music of the previous albums of the band, more similar to post-grunge than glam metal. This is the only album to have Stile as Vixen guitarist and the final studio release to feature Gardner as vocalist-guitarist during their tenures in the band; they were forced to part ways following the Tangerine tour for legal reasons. They later rejoined Vixen in 2013, along with Ross and Petrucci, after playing as the former JanetShareRoxyGina (JSRG) line-up. Stile and Gardner left the band for good in 2017 and 2019, respectively.[3][4]

Eight long years after Rev It Up, Vixen return with a recording of all new material dubbed Tangerine. In the interim, the group's pop-metal sound has changed only imperceptibly, so if you liked Vixen before, Tangerine will be right up your alley; if you didn't, this new record will do nothing to change your mind.
