Missing Myself by Jane Walker

 

Missing Myself, the new single from Australian singer/songwriter Jane Walker’s album, Walk Gently, deals with the theme of losing and finding oneself.

For some it is substance abuse – alcohol and drugs. For others it is gambling and for many it is the wrong relationships or not finding your life’s passion. “For Jane Walker, it was the early morning she found herself curled around the toilet bowl, regretting yet another massive night out.” (Claire Harvey, Sunday Telegraph).

Sitting at the piano, something she hadn’t done in a long time, Jane wrote Missing Myself and in the process, reconnected with herself and what was most important.

The song is produced by Steve James at Rockinghorse Studios, Byron Bay. The video is shot around Jane’s home environment in Sydney by acclaimed director James Marshall with Andrew Dowling.

The Missing Myself video will have its debut screening at a special event to celebrate the single release with a live performance by Jane upstairs at the Imperial Hotel, 252 Oxford St, Paddington on Thursday 3rd April, 2014 from 7 p.m.

Jane is currently collaborating for her next album with English producer James Sanger (Dido, Keane, Brian Eno).

The album Walk Gently is available throughiTunes and at janewalker.com.au/store

Groundbreaking hip hop brothers Street Warriors release their new single and video titled Champions featuring Treach from the legendary US hip hop group Naughty by Nature on Monday 17 June to iTunes.
“Naughty by Nature had always been a favourite group of ours and when we got to know them last time they were in Sydney, we hit it off. When the opportunity came to collaborate on this track we jumped at it,” says Wok.
Filmed in New York, it is the first time the Street Warriors have been overseas to collaborate but stay tuned, as it certainly won’t be the last.
Street Warriors have been electrifying stages for many years, recently playing to a crowd of over 80,000 at Dreamtime at the G in Melbourne and will launch NAIDOC in the City at Hyde Park, Sydney July 8th.

Jane Walker to make next album with top UK producer James Sanger (Keane, Dido, U2, Brian Eno)

Jane Walker’s next album will be produced and co-written with leading UK producer/writer/programmer James Sanger whose client list includes Keane, Dido, U2 and Brian Eno.

Meeting Sanger and visiting his studio in France last September, the two hit it off immediately and Walker returned to Sydney with a commitment from him to produce her album, as well as a swag of tracks to begin writing to.

Walker has launched a Pozible crowdfunding campaign to raise funds to enable her to immerse herself in writing the next album in collaboration with Sanger. http://www.pozible.com/janewalker
She released her first album Walk Gently in Australia two years ago on the independent Australian record label GoSet. The album has been drawing acclaim for its intimate and uplifting chillout pop style. Her song and video of Ancient Land (feat. Predator from Street Warriors) is receiving airplay on national TV and at radio stations both locally and overseas. Check out the video here.

A percentage of proceeds from Jane Walker’s song Walk Gently on the Earth goes to Ocean Recovery Alliance, which is dedicated to cleaning up the world’s waterways. The Walk Gently on the Earth video was screened at the Hong-Kong San Francisco International Ocean Film Festival in April and the song is currently receiving radio airplay.
Walker’s support of environmental and humanitarian causes will continue with the new album so any support via the Pozible campaign will help make this happen.
Her current album Walk Gently is available on iTunes and janewalker.com.au. All enquiries to Lorda Omeissah m: 0413 044 332 e: lorda@gosetmusic.com
