If disco balls, ecstasy, pearls, Studio 54, sex, crystal chandeliers, Purple Rain, and Crème Brule, could be whipped in a blender and made into a delicious pop-dance musical confection, you would have Pretty Mess, the debut CD from dance-pop’s latest sensation Erika Jayne. Pretty Mess, which includes the No. 1 Billboard Dance Radio Airplay hit singles “Rollercoaster” and “Stars” and a guest appearance from Sheila E., will drop early in the spring of 2009.
 
It’s typically a no–no to be so bold as to compare any new artist to the Queen of Pop, Madonna. But, when it’s comes to Erika Jayne, it’s impossible not to make the comparison. Just ask the Guardian U.K., which wrote, “Erika Jayne is Madonna trapped in the moment when she recorded the Eroticaalbum. She’s Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge goes trance with a dash of debauchery, or Gwen Stefani goes burlesque. She’s equal parts Hollywood glamour and S&M chic. The spawn of Sapphic union between Rita Hayworth and Traci Lords.”
 
“That is a perfect description of my music and vibe, actually,” says the Atlanta-bred, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter proudly. “All of that influenced me, as did Purple Rain, the feel of Studio 54, Kylie Minogue, and the Old Hollywood designers Edith Head and Adrian Adolph Greenberg. They were all about having a good time, and that is what my record is about. I want people to have fun, dance, and escape into fantasy. I want the listener to take a sexy little trip away from their lives. It’s a very sensual, erotic, luxurious-feeling album. That was my state of mind when I wrote, and that comes naturally for me. It’s something that I could either choose not to accept or to embrace it and run with it. And, I’m running with it. I’m not afraid to be me and to sing about the things I want to sing about.”
