Dance pop sensation ERIKA JAYNE closes a successful 2009 by skyrocketing up the U.K. music charts with the recently reworked editions of her hit single “Give You Everything," featuring remixes from Paul Harris, Mark Brown and Michael Woods. The "Give You Everything" remixes have shot to #2 on the Music Week Upfront Club Chart as well as #6 on the Music Week Commercial Pop Club Chart, marking the first time ERIKA has landed on the U.K. charts. In addition, the single has landed on the #5 spot of Billboard’s 2009 year end Hot Dance Club Play Songs chart.
This year has undoubtedly marked ERIKA's biggest achievements to date. Beginning with the release of her debut album PRETTY MESS (out now on E1 Music) earlier this year, the Atlanta-born, Los Angeles transplant topped the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart with her #1 single "Give You Everything," marking the third time ERIKA has dominated in this area; her singles “Roller Coaster” and “Stars," also featured on Pretty Mess, have previously topped the Hot Dance Club Songs chart at #1.
Produced and co-written with some of today’s most in-demand and talented producers– including heavyweights Peter Rafelson (Madonna, Britney Spears, Stevie Nicks) and Eric Kupper (Shakira, Destiny’s Child, Kylie Minogue)–Pretty Mess showcases Jayne’s talent as both a singer and a songwriter with tracks spanning rhythmic pop, dance and chill electronic ballads. Wrote Ashley Mateo of Self.com (June 23, 2009), “Equal parts old-school Madonna and Kylie Minogue, Erika Jayne combines the ideas of love, fantasy and escape with rhythmic pop, club beats and mellow electronica for a debut album she's dubbed a Pretty Mess.” The album also features a nod to Prince, one of ERIKA's biggest influences, with a cover of his protégé Apollonia’s hit “Sex Shooter."
In celebration of her debut, ERIKA hosted a luxurious album release event at the upscale erotica boutique Coco de Mer in Los Angeles in August. Special guests who packed the event included singer/songwriter Jody Watley, actor Michael Des Barres, authors Christopher Ciccone and Neil Strauss, Coco de Mer shop owner Justine Roddick, multi-Grammy Award-winning producer/songwriter Val Garay, famed choreographer Mikey Minden, make-up artist and photographer Troy Jensen and music producers The Perry Twins, Dave Aude and DJ Irene. Additionally, ERIKA has appeared as the cover subject of the November issue of fashion/beauty/entertainment magazine Z!NK in a beautiful 12-page, black-and-white spread.
