Coming August 7'th - SAVING JANE - One Girl Revolution


I just saw LadyStrange talking about them in the Currently Playing thread and it got me wondering when the new CD was dropping.

AUGUST 7'TH!  clap.gif

This is one I'll go to eye tunes for.  Can't wait on the Russians.  Unless they get it early, which they sometimes do.

One Girl Revolution
starstarstarstarno star Label: Toucan Cove
Released: 2007
Buy from Amazon.com

Sometimes the songs on a new record are so warm and inviting, they are like sitting in your own living room while sipping a ****tail, getting a massage, and watching SportsCenter all at the same time. Okay, that may be getting a little carried away, but if you listen to the new album from Ohio-based rock band Saving Jane, One Girl Revolution, youre going to get that feeling. The songs on the bands sophomore effort are like a proverbial songwriting clinic because they have a beginning, middle and end; and powerful, hooky choruses that will soar way above your ears.

 

Saving Jane also has hottie lead singer Marti Dodson (no, there is no one named Jane in the band). Dodson and her band debuted a couple of years back with Girl Next Door, and though the album was a modest hit, it didnt quite catapult them into superstardom. With One Girl Revolution, Saving Jane has turned up their amplifiers and fine-tuned their knack for writing hit songs.

What I Didnt Say is so made for radio, you could almost let it walk up the charts by itself, and the title track is edgy enough to experiment with different arrangements but catchy enough to draw comparisons to great female-fronted rock bands like Heart or Scandal. Nicotine is a sexy anthem that compares a relationship to the need for cigarettes its not like that hasnt been done before, but its still a great track. Better Day has that same acoustic guitar progression that may be directly copped from Natalie Imbruglios Torn, and Writing on the Wall is another powerful summertime rocker.

By the time you get to the simple beauty of piano ballad Grace, you start to realize that this is one special album. From the Sky soars as well, and while Loser and Far From Home dont quite measure up to the rest of the album, they are still adequate enough to make this a very complete set. There are also a lot of breakup and jilted lover references in the lyrics, something that always makes for good angry rock songs and Saving Jane also weaves enough hooks into the tunes to give them more impact.

Girl Next Door set the table, but One Girl Revolution certainly has enough solid tracks to catapult Saving Jane to much greater heights, with or without a major label.

 You know what!

I never did!  I forgot about it!



I just downloaded it from iTunes (along with the country mix of GIRL NEXT DOOR).


My internet must be running at high speed today, it literally took 3 seconds to download each song!  And I checked, they're both there in their entirety.

Turns out their record on Universal only sold 100,000 copies so now they're back to an independent label (Toucon Cove).

They're selling it for $15.  But if you pre-order they'll ship a week early and it will be autographed.

I ordered a copy of the disc along with a $5 remix CD of Girl Next Door clap.gif

This will go nicely with my autographed copy of Taylor Swifts CD.

Since I don't need the physical CD's I'd like to buy some nice frames and make some display pieces of both of these.  Good material for hangin on the studio walls!

I'm shocked the Girl Next Door CD only sold 100,000 copies.  The way she makes it sound I think they didn't think the label did much for them so they were happy to go back to the Indie label.  Welcome to the new world of music!

The iTunes single of GIRL NEXT DOOR sold 600,000 copies though!  That's not too shabby!

I really dislike that kind of ring.  For one thing, they look uncomfortable.  confused

I am liking this song.  But the album cover?       A little scary...
