Jane Child
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jane Child (born on February 15, 1967 in Toronto) is a Canadian Dance-pop singer, producer and musician best known for her 1990 hit song "Don't Wanna Fall in Love", which peaked at #2 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for three weeks in the spring of 1990. Her follow-up single, "Welcome to the Real World", was a modest hit, peaking at #49. These originated from her eponymous debut, which peaked at #49 on Billboard's Pop Albums Chart. In 1992, she contributed a track titled "Mona Lisa Smiles" to the soundtrack of Freejack, a sci-fi action thriller starring Emilio Estevez, which was included on her sophomore release, "Here Not There", one year later. This album was a departure from her debut, in that she mixed standard-issue new-jack with hard rock tracks, and using outside writers on a few of them.
Jane disappeared from the music scene for several years, but kept herself busy working with obscure bands and Japanese projects. In 1996 she began recording and writing her next album, as well as continuing to work on side projects and playing small gigs. Her third album "Surge" was released in 2001 via her own website on her own record label. "Surge" features two singles "Almost Beauitful" and "Nice Day" which have surfaced on some radio & internet radio station playlists. That same year she re-recorded her peace anthem "World Lullabye", included in her first album, and sold the single on her website, all proceeds donated to the Twin Towers Fund. Jane is now currently working on her fourth record, as well as several side projects, including a movie soundtracks.
