cyclonic Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 Howdy guys, Don't know if I can tell you this or not, but Jane Child is back! She's been in Keyboard twice, on the cover of the November 90 mag, and was featured in the June (?) 93 magazine. She had the huge hit "Don't Wanna Fall In Love" featuring her playinf a kick ass solo on a Fairlight in the video. Anyway, after she was dropped by Warners in 94, she pretty much went AWOL, but now shes back with a new album called "Surge". Its kicks! Check out: http://www.janechild.com or http://users.bigpond.net.au/JaneChild for more info. I've been running a site about her for the past four, or five years now, and finally she's returned with a great record. I'm hoping someone at Keyboard will take interest! Many thanks again, cyclonic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansouth Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 Julia Child! Cool! I used to love her cooking shows on PBS. That spam and cheese casserole was my favorite. Mmm-mmm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a helluva synth player, and AFAIK, she's from right here in Toronto. I hope she does well with her new recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbox Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 I am really glad to hear that Jane is back. She has great talent and is a cool human being! I was greatly disappointed when WB dropped her. Maybe they couldn't figure out how to market synth based music in a grunge world. Who knows? Anyway, Jane is a great singer, keyboardist, and songwriter. I'm sure there will be a place for her in today's climate! cyclonic, please tell Jane I said "hi" and give her my best wishes. She'll remember me as Yoshiki's programmer (I worked for Yoshiki from 1/93 - 10/96). Best of luck, Geoff Grace Quote Enthusiasm powers the world.

That Portland Dude Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 Wow, that's sure nose-worthy. I'm looking forward to hearing more cool music from her and finding out what's her current approach to fashion. Personally, I never lost interest in synth based music, I thought grunge was a passing fad but didn't know I'd have to wait a whole decade for it to blow over.

cyclonic Posted November 4, 2001 Author Share Posted November 4, 2001 I think its a bit rough to pigeon hole Jane on her past fashions. Surely, Jane's music has been far better than what she chose to look like. She was and is, an individual after all. Surely Prince doesn't get the same treatment for all the wacky fashions he's had in the past? Certainly her new album is a landmark. Look for it on her website, or check mine out and leave a message. I've got a great interview I did with her recently, and there's a heap of info on the synths she used on the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I'm only interested in what her music sounds like, I couldn't give a rat's ass about her fashion sense. Well, maybe half a rat's ass (one rat's ass cheek). I thought the nose ring was goofy, but who really cares as long as the music's good, and it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Zombie threads are hilarious. This one had me for a bit. I do remember the KB Magazine article and the song - which was actually pretty cool in an early '90s kind of overproduced fashion, if memory serves correctly.

Geoff Grace Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I'm sad that Jane never got the comeback she deserved. Her music career reminds me a bit of Thomas Dolby's: a talented singer/songwriter/synthesist who surprisingly only garnered one hit from a lot of great material. I hope she's living a happy life, nonetheless. Best, Geoff Quote My Blue Someday appears on Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
