JANE BADLER, “Losing You”
While Jane Badler is better known as an actress whose characters you love to hate – raise your hands if you love Diana from “V” – she is developing another career as a singer of unpredictable alternative pop. From her forthcoming album Opus, the USA-born, Australia-based Jane brings us “Losing You”, a Latin-influenced smoky-jazz pop tune which may contain the best vocal yet that I’ve heard from her – and I’m a big fan of her “Yesterday’s Tomorrows” from a few years back. You could put “Losing You” somewhere between Eartha Kitt and Amy Winehouse, and like those two singers it’s largely because Jane’s voice doesn’t bring another particular singer’s voice to mind… so I’d love to have her duet with Rufus Wainwright! But I digress. The video for the song is a treat. While we’ve seen other videos use the door-to-door imagery many times before, the director draws us in regardless of how unsympathetic Jane’s character is. Does she get what she deserves in the end of her own personal hell? You decide! Beautiful costumes, unique makeup and characterizations, and a convincing story all make it work. Watch below and get “Losing You” on iTunes on August 11.
