Disco Balls and Magic

There has been so much going on with the album release and my performances – thank you for all your support. It’s been such a great experience.

I woke up Tuesday August 11th in Atlantic City – the day my album had been made available for the world. I performed that night (loved the Atlantic City audience) and was presented with a plaque that had all my #1 hits and my new record on it. It was big day for me, and one I’ll never forget.

From there I went up to NY for a performance, and I attended the red carpet for the premiere of “The Time Traveler’s Wife” (View Photo and Photo) I wore vintage Thierry Mugler who is one of my all time favorite designers. His clothes make a woman feel sexy and smart…which is how I love to feel when I’m in front of the cameras… I have to say, for the record, Eric Bana is hot hot hot :) NY is very dear to me – I have a special place in my heart for that city…

I had my album release party last night at Coco de Mer in West Hollywood – a big thanks to everyone who came out. We had a full house and a great time. And now I’m getting ready to head to Vegas for a performance at Krave Nightclub on the 5th of September. Never a minute to spare – always on the run. More later -

Dance Music Sensation Erika Jayne Readies Release of New Single “Give You Everything”

Highly Anticipated Debut Album Pretty Mess Scheduled for August 11th Release

GYE Cover Los Angeles (April 7, 2009) – Dance music sensation Erika Jayne will bring her third single, “Give You Everything,” to iTunes on Tuesday, April 7. The surefire hit follows the heat from smash singles “Roller Coaster” and “Stars,” which both rocketed Jayne to #1 on the Billboard Dance charts and made her a favorite on dance floors across the world. The iTunes launch will also feature a package of remixes from DJ Escape & Johnny Vicious, Moto Blanco, Mike Rizzo and Dave Aud. To follow up the release, “Give You Everything” will hit radio stations nationwide on April 13th.

” I’m excited for my fans to hear Pretty Mess,” says Jayne. “When I was working on the album, I wanted to create a collection of songs that would make people want to dance and enjoy themselves – something that they could put on and have a good time.”

Production on Pretty Mess by heavy hitters Peter Rafelson (Madonna, Britney Spears, Stevie Nicks) and Eric Kupper (Shakira, Destiny’s Child, Kylie Minogue) is complemented perfectly with stellar guest production by Esthero and Jahi Lake (Chris Brown), under the name Pinklake, and Ike Dirty (Lil’ Scrappy Ying Yang Twinz), son of the legendary Isaac Hayes. Jayne also receives help from celebrated percussionist Sheila E on the track “Time to Realize;” and includes an ode to her influence Prince with a cover of his protege Apollonia’s hit “Sex Shooter.”

The single release for “Give You Everything” will be accompanied by a video that paired Jayne with Grammy-nominated music video director Marty Thomas and choreographer Mikey Minden (The Pussycat Dolls). Set as Jayne auditions for a starring stage role that leads to a magnetic connection, the video showcases Jayne not only as a singer, but a true dancer and fashion icon.

Jayne has already achieved success ahead of her album release that is not often seen by debut artists. Her #1 singles “Roller Coaster” and “Stars” have ranked her on the Billboard Year-to-End Dance charts two years in a row with “Roller Coaster” at #9 in 2007 and “Stars” at #20 on the Dance Club Play Chart and #15 on the Dance Tracks Chart for 2008. The “Stars” video was a fan favorite on the Click List, LOGO’s music video show, and remained ranked amongst the program’s most popular videos for months. Jayne has also already seen her music make the leap to the big screen with cuts from Pretty Mess being featured in both current and upcoming movie releases.
