JM is definitely a force to reckoned with! Well, once more people discover the JM experience! This song gets me dancing and puts me in a happy mood. Her live performances are incomparable and I can’t wait to hear more from her!

Her performances are incredible, Lady has Mad skills at dancing!
When I saw her Moon Walk in the video Many Moons, I thought it amazing by how clean her movements are and how natural it came to her: backwards and forward.

Violet Stars Happy Hunting Captured Me in 08 and man was I
FLOORED by her song ‘Sincerely, Jane.’ I enjoyed the entire
Metropolis album. I think its a fun direction she’s taken her music
and quite frankly its something Id like to see more of.

I recall hearing about this gal maybe a year or so ago when listening to some public radio coverage on SXSW. At the time I was driving around town, taking care of some run of the mill weekend errands and was so entranced by the story and the music, that I ended up sitting in my car in the parking lot for a good ten minutes just to hear the whole piece.
Of course once I got home I promptly forgot her name and have been wondering about it ever since (it was almost one of those things weird enough to look back and think…”did I just make that whole thing up?” ) Thank you!

Wow. What I like most about this video is that she dosen’t fall back on the sexpot idea to make it sellable. She’s not over-made-up. No one in the video is wearing anything that could be termed “skanky”. I love the aesthetic, and the tune is catchy and well produced. I’m off to check out her other stuff now.

The Donovan+Savile Sonic Specialists remix is pretty catchy, too.

(How can I not love a woman who makes a video as robot James Brown?)

….I think I’m in love. The visuals! The story! The general adorableness! Thank you so much for this post; I can’t wait to check out more of her music.

@sterlingspider- yes! That’s why I love Many Moons (one of the reasons I do actually).

LOVES. Janelle is amazing. She was the best part of the already out there and adorable “Open Happiness” commercial from Coke.

GOD COILHOUSE I LOVE YOU.

I want a suit like her and never walk around in anything else anymore. Also I want that hair and that awesomeness.
Thanks for constantly making my life this much cooler lately.

1st time I read about her, and already smitten. Does she perform live? I’m going to do some search on my own, too!
