Erika Jayne's Blog
November 2009
ERIKA JAYNE—singer, songwriter and dance pop sensation—has just scored a truly notable achievement in the music world. The Atlanta-born, Los Angeles transplant has landed her third #1 hit on Billboard’s Dance Club Play chart with the alluring “Give You Everything” album Pretty Mess via E1 Music.
This success comes on the heels the #1 dance smashes “Roller Coaster” and “Stars” by the glamorous artist who reels you in with her alluring vocals and catchy melodies and electro beats, not to mention an infectious taste of decadence.
Her Billboard chart success is extraordinary with her experiencing success prior to album release that is not often seen by emerging artists. Check out the video for “Give You Everything” directed by Grammy-nominated video director Marty Thomas and choreographed by Mikey Minden (The Pussycat Dolls).
Erika Jayne is out with behind the scenes footage from her ‘Everything’ video shoot. The clip features comments from Erika’s style team, the ‘Everything’ director Marty Thomas, choreographer Mikey Minder and the dance pop singer herself. ‘Everything’ is off Erika’s debut album ‘Pretty Mess’, now available on E1 Music.
Glitz and glam with a touch of gold on rising Pop star Erika Jayne
As the trends move into the holidays… I am gearing up for all the best makeup looks the holiday season brings. Glitter, frosts, and metallics are exactly what you you’ll need to glam a holiday face. Popstar Erika Jayne looks stunning in a palette of shimmery gold that I used on her when I photographed her recently. I chose Erika Jayne to create my golden beauty look. She is a star on the rise and her striking features and golden hair made her a perfect choice to be my Golden Muse.
Where the Wild Things Are By Lina Lecaro Published on November 18, 2009 at 4:36pm
A legendary performance-art queen and an up-and-coming pop princess bring a special allure to two of L.A.’s wildest dance clubs this week. If you missed the debut party for “Arias With a Twist,” NYC-bred drag wonder Joey Arias’ collab with marionette master Basil Twist and designer Thierry Mugler this week at REDCAT (the show runs through Dec. 13), you still have a chance to bask in the bodacious one’s presence at Shits & Giggles. The pansexual discotheque will pay tribute to Arias, who’ll make an appearance as well. Festivities will also include a DJ set by Steven Hawley (front man for electro-funkster faves Codebreaker) along with in-house floor freakers Victor Rodriguez and Chris Bowen, guest host Terry T. (Miss Honey, S.F.) plus London Fierce (L.A.) & Lady Bear (S.F.) glossing up the stage at midnight. 3100 Club, 659 S. Westmoreland Ave., L.A.; Fri., Nov. 20. myspace.com/shitsandgigglesla. Saturday, pop-tastic Weho boy haven Cherry Pop gets some extra fizz thanks to a (real) femme dance artist, singer Erika Jayne, who’ll perform tracks from her debut, Pretty Mess, including a sure-to-be-appreciated cover of Apollonia’s “Sex Shooter.” Ultra Suede, 661 N. Robertson Blvd., W. Hlywd.; Sat., Nov. 21. factorynightclub.com.
Z!NK MAGAZINE NOVEMBER COVER ARTIST ERIKA JAYNE MOVES HER LOS ANGELES APPEARANCE TO SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21 AT WEST HOLLYWOOD HOTSPOT CHERRY POP @ ULTRA SUEDE
Z!NK magazine November cover artist ERIKA JAYNE will now make her appearance at one of West Hollywood’s hottest venues Cherry Pop at the Ultra Suede Lounge on Saturday, November 21. The new show date, which was originally set for Saturday, November 14, will allow Ms. Jayne extended stage time to include two new additional songs during her live show---(Sex Shoote and Pretty Mess)—from her debut album PRETTY MESS.
Produced and co-written with some of today’s most in-demand and talented producers – heavyweights Peter Rafelson (Madonna, Britney Spears, Stevie Nicks), Eric Kupper (Shakira, Destiny’s Child, Kylie Minogue), Esthero (under the name Pinklake), Jahi Lake (Chris Brown) and Ike Dirty (Lil’ Scrappy, Ying Yang Twins) – Pretty Mess showcases Jayne’s talent as both a singer and a songwriter with tracks spanning from rhythmic pop and dance to chill electronic ballads.
The album includes a nod to Prince, one of Jayne’s biggest influences, with a cover of his protégé Apollonia’s hit “Sex Shooter,” as well as a guest appearance from legendary percussionist Sheila E on the track “Time to Realize.” Erika Jayne continues to make headway across the dance/pop world, topping the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart three times with the hit #1 singles “Give You Everything,” “Roller Coaster” and “Stars.”
