ERIKA JAYNE - TOPS BILLBOARD

ERIKA JAYNE, the Atlanta-born LA transplant just landed her third #1 hit on Billboard’s Dance Club Play chart with the alluring “Give You Everything”.

This amazing success took right place on the eve of the August 11 release of her debut album PRETT MESS via E1 Music.  This success comes on the heels of the #1 dance smashes “Roller Coaster” and “Stars” by the glamorous artist who reels you in with her alluring vocals, 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) over at YouTube!

“I’ve had such a wonderful time with this song,” states JAYNE.  “From conceiving it with co-writer and producer Peter Rafelson, to creating its video with Marty Thomas highlighting a really great dance sequence from Mikey Minden, plus having the honor of performing it at Gay Pride celebrations in both LA and San Francisco, I’m just tickled to see it go #1!”
Pretty Mess is 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)—and showcases her 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,” in addition to the stellar aforementioned #1 club tracks.  Dance pop aficionados are keen to the dance floor mixes from Moto Blanco, Mike Rizzo, DJ Escape & Johnny Vicious and Dave Audé.
