    Jane Child, released in 1989, was fully written, produced, and performed on the synthesizer (except for the guitar parts) by Child herself, a rarity for a debut artist signed to a major label. Due to her musical style and her emphasis on control over her music, she was at the time labeled by the press as "the female Prince". Best known for the hit single "Don't Wanna Fall in Love" which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990.
    The song was also a big hit on the R&B chart, peaking at No. 6, a rarity for a white artist.

    I first came to live in NYC 3 years after this came out. The city was pretty much the same as it was in this video. Times Square was seedy, the Meatpacking district had a lively underground, and the Twin Towers stood tall. Can't help but feel nostalgic listening to these beats and watching the cityscape of that era. 🌆🎶🗽

      She really was. At the time, Jane Child was considered hugely avant-garde. Her nose ring is-it-real-or-clip-on was a big debate in high school! But being considered avant-garde myself then (big time!) I admired her. I wonder why she did not become a bigger star. Perhaps she was ahead of her time.

    Three glorious weeks at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1990, two of those weeks under another alternative singer, Sinéad O'Connor. Even if the style of "Don't Wanna Fall in Love" seemed to be in line with the moment, Jane Child herself was unknown. The entire eponymous album this comes from has bangers on it ("I Got News for You" is especially good), all so fervently controlled by Child herself. She understood funk, rock, melody, and rhythm. Such a great moment not just for Jane Child, but for those of us enjoying this on the radio. Ain't no personal thing, boy.

    This came out in May/June 1990 and was played all the time on U.K. radio stations.
    it reminds me of the long hot sunny summer in London during 1990. This is definitely a last gasp of 1980s sound, and 1990 was still technically an 80s year with a few songs setting the tone for the coming decade.
    This was played on and off until around 93ish on uk radio, and after that never to be heard again.

  • @FFTyt
    @FFTyt 9 місяців тому +14

    Being a music producer in the late 80s and exactly the same age as Jane, I can recall certain technical aspects of this really great song.
    I cannot be sure of everything, but I'll give my best guess here, and I also will base my assertions on a article I found on Jane Child's website.
    The keyboard used in the video is a Fairlight CMI (Computer Musical Instrument) v3, a very well-known Australian sampler that defined the sound of the era (Peter Gabriel, Trevor Horn, Kate Bush, etc.). Very pricey back then (over $100,000 inflation-adjusted), the technology it used can now easily be emulated with any mid-range smartphone!
    The drums are sampled and sequenced by the Fairlight, and may be from original sounds produced by Jane herself, which sets her apart from contemporary productions that often used the Linn Drum machine LM1 or 2 at that time. "Gated" reverb (popularized by Phil Collins) was heavily used both on the kick and snare drums, which makes the sound "bigger" but also makes it sound "typically" from the 80's.
    For the marvelous synth bass line, I can't be sure, but at least 2 sounds are stacked, possibly a Casio (!) or maybe a DX7 and an analog synth (Moog?).
    The drums and bass are doing 90% of the work in these amazing tracks. The bass is very melodic, very funk-oriented, and the syncopation makes you want to dance.
    The "brassy" sound is typical of an analog poly synth: a sawtooth waveform with a cut-off filter fully opened, similar to "Jump" (Van Halen), but maybe stacked with several synths to obtain that very rich sound that supports the song.
    The high-pitched "bell" sound played on each beat might be a Fairlight sample or a DX7 (which was really good for this type of metallic sound).
    A funky guitar is present but not always easily heard; it perfectly blends in and adds a great groove to the entire edifice.
    Finally, the solo lead relies on a "sync lead" sound (Synchronized oscillators) which was easily recognizable and found on high-end analog synths. The sync lead is great when it is played with pitch-bend and modulation (played by Jane's left hand, which cannot be seen in the video) and is essentially a synth equivalent of a distorted guitar solo sound.
    Jane's voice is very distinguishable and blends perfectly.
    The mix itself is just great; while the song is really "full", the usage of stereo space as well as the overall dynamic is perfect. You can focus on each instrument while hearing the whole "package". Limiters & compressors might have also been cleverly used to achieve that 'big sound' that fills the entire available dynamic range!
    This song reminds me of Scritti Politti's "Perfect Way"; these songs were really the benchmark to which "serious" 80's producers would refer in terms of musicality, technicality, rhythm, etc. This was the state of the art of (synth) pop music!

      According to an interview, she used a Casio CZ-1000 for bass parts (somewhat surprising!), Prophet 2000 & VS, Minimoog, and Roland D-50 on the record in addition to the stuff you listed. I'd guess there's some Juno in there too. She plays a Fairlight in the video but that's not what she used for the solo.

    I view this 89 song (in my own personal opinion) as the last "hurrah" of the iconic 80s synth sound. Many people dismiss this song as just a wacky pop one hit wonder song but The synth work on this song and other songs like Pebbles, "Mercedes Boy", are done so well that I never get tired of listening to any of them. In fact, Jane Child's 1st album where this song is a part of has amazing synth playing and sounds that were iconic 80s sounds. She was a very talented and underated artist. 👍
