Erika Jayne’s “Give you everything” tops Billboard’s Dance Club Play Chart
Erika Jayne — singer, songwriter and dance pop sensation—has just scored a truly notable achievement in the music world. The Atlanta-born, Los Angeles transplant has landed her third #1 hit on Billboard’s Dance Club Play chart with the alluring “Give You Everything” on the eve of the August 11 release of her debut album Pretty Mess via E1 Music.
This success comes on the heels the #1 dance smashes “Roller Coaster” and “Stars” by the glamorous artist who reels you in with her alluring vocals and catchy melodies and electro beats, not to mention an infectious taste of decadence.
Her Billboard chart success is all the more extraordinary for having been achieved by an emerging artist prior to her debut album release. The video for “Give You Everything” was directed by Grammy-nominated video director Marty Thomas and choreographed by Mikey Minden (The Pussycat Dolls) and can be seen below.
“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.” All three of Jayne’s #1 dance hits are also included. Dance pop aficionados have been keen to the dance floor mixes from Moto Blanco, Mike Rizzo, DJ Escape & Johnny Vicious and Dave Audé.
