‘Pretty Mess,’ Erika Jayne Aims for the Top of the Dance Charts with New Single

I adore Erika Jayne. She’s beautiful, talented and knows what her target audience is looking for – a real, honest-to-God dance floor filler. Let me tell you…4th single “Pretty Mess” certainly delivers. I think the new single has what it takes to take Jayne straight to the top of the Billboard Dance/Club Play Chart for a 4th consecutive time (following #1 singles “Roller Coaster,” “Stars” and “Give You Everything“).

At first when I saw Erika Jayne’s “Pretty Mess” listed under the new releases on iTunes, I dismissed it. I thought it was an album re-release or something like that. I had given up hope of a follow up single to “Give You Everything” (which came out last May). Even the album (also called Pretty Mess) was released last summer. This is quite a long span of time in between singles. As it turned out, it was worth the wait. On the remix, we have the incomparable Tracy Young, Dave Audé, Larry Tee, DJ Escape/Johnny Vicious, Klubjumpers, Bill Hamel, Peter Rafelson, and Marshall Stack. That’s quite the impressive lineup if you ask me!

While the single isn’t officially set for release until April 27th, you can pick up 3 Remix EPs on iTunes now including one for the club mixes, one for the edits and one for the dubs. “Pretty Mess,” the album’s title track was written by Jayne and Peter Rafelson and features a hot video to boot (see below). The video is actually cut to the Dave Audé remix and features a sexier than ever Jayne prancing around a dance club. The video was directed by Mikey Minden (whom I remember and love from both seasons of ‘Search For The Next Doll‘ on the CW) and Mike Ruiz. Get ready to tear up the dance floor with the new single from Erika Jayne. It’s a hot one!
