Details:
After many twist and turns in her life, Janey has finished producing a collection of 13 sensual songs for this, her 4th solo CD, entitled Perfume.
Her CD features 13 intoxicating songs and the unbelievable musicianship of the renowned drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, (Sting, Faith Hill, etc.) pianist, arranger Randy Waldman, (Barbra Streisand, Michael Jackson, etc.) saxophonist Dave Boruff, (David Foster, George Benson, etc.) and guitarist Bruce Gaitsch. (Madonna, Richard Marx, etc.) Perfume was released December 25th 2004 by Cool Sound in Japan.
Randy Waldman, Janey’s long time friend and musical soul mate, co-produced 4 of the 13 tracks. Randy instinctively knows how to capture the mood and inherent musical qualities of Janey’’s songs, and this CD is no exception. Besides Randy’s producing chops, his stunning piano work is breath taking. He even plays trumpet on the title track, Perfume.
Janey is so proud to have all of her wonderful musicians and friends guest on her CD. They are all the best of the best!
This CD is different from her previous solo CDs because it is less eclectic and more truely focused on her pop/jazz roots. The songs are very sophisticated and deal with a variety of emotions. So sit back with your favorite glass of wine in one hand and your lover’s hand in your other, and let the music take you both away on a journey of passion, betrayal, innocence and longing.

Biography

Singer-songwriter, Janey Clewer, began her love affair with music from the early age of three when she received from Santa a toy piano. While finding her way effortlessly around the piano, she enjoyed singing with her mother, often taking the harmony part. At age five, she treasured her new real piano and began her classical studies with Virginia Reinecke.
Her training on piano continued seriously until the age of 17. All the while she sang and composed for the thrill of it and joined her first pop band at age 15.
