Hey guys! Things are going well and I’ve been extremely busy with interviews and press for the release of the album. It’s all very exciting and I’m having a blast. You will have to keep an eye out for the July issue of Hustler Magazine – I recently did a great interview with them and I’m excited for the issue to hit stands.

We are moving right along in preparation for the album release – I just finished casting all my dancers for the live show in preparation for tours and performances. And I must say the dancers are HOT, so ladies, definitely keep your eyes peeled. They’re awesome and I’m excited about the show we are piecing together. I’m also back in the studio and doing what I love.

I really enjoy the time before an album drops – dancing, singing, the press – this is what it’s all about! Getting to share my point of view on life and music with the world – it’s what I live for.

Follow up to my visit in Vegas over Easter weekend: Well, my friend lost but we had a GREAT time and I had a blast. I know it’s typical Erika Jayne, but I have to comment on the amazing food I ate while I was there. You guys have to try SW Steakhouse at The Wynn. The food was awesome, and for me to make a comment like that about meat, you know it was stellar! So check it out if you’re in Vegas…

On a more personal note, I will be traveling back home to GA for the weekend to take care of my grandmother. Please keep her in your prayers. Aside from the family time, I hope to connect with some old friends, shop, and (my favorite) hit up Chick-Fil-A as much as I can Your thoughts and prayers for my grandmother are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for checking in…more later.

Hello! I’m loving this new site and so glad to finally have a blog! Finally a chance for me to stay more in touch with my fans. I hope you’ll stop in often…

I’m suffering from a little bit of a sinus infection at the moment and have been under the weather, but I’ve been working out like a maniac to kick it out of my body – hoping to be better very soon. No one likes to be sick with weather like this in LA … it’s been gorgeous outside.

I’m heading to Vegas to the Mandalay Bay this weekend to watch Winky Wright fight Paul Williams. I love Boxing and I love sports – I could talk sports for hours on end. I’m stoked to watch the match and get away for the weekend.

Also being a huge food fan, I have to suggest the Italian restaurant Cecconi’s off Robertson and Melrose – I ate there this weekend and the food was phenomenal. I love Italian food…love it.

Have a great week – and welcome to my blog!

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

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.
