When you combine sophistication and glamour with a voice that is silky smooth, you can’t fail to recognise a star in the making. 22-year-old Eva Jane has just blown onto the music scene bringing with her a deadly combination of a fresh new musical approach combined with oodles of talent. With the release of her album ‘Queen of Bees’ the young singer is about to show the world what she is capable of.
Born in Eindhoven, the young Eva Jane was surrounded by music from an early age. She had a rich musical background to draw from; both her parents were successful musicians and her mother represented Holland in the Eurovision song contest. Driven by a need to sing from an early age, Eva Jane finally decided to follow her heart and turned professional at the age of 16. Since then she’s been very much in demand; as a backing singer she has provided support for the likes of Boney M, Johnny Logan and the Gibson Brothers. It’s this sort of experience, working with talented musicians, that has helped Eva Jane develop her own sound and allowed her to see how hard true professionals work. The girl really knows what she wants and works hard to achieve it.
When Eva Jane cites Ella Fitzgerald and Stevie Wonder as her musical influences you know that with luminaries such as these she will be in good company. Her debut album ‘Queen of Bees’ reflects this musical maturity. A confident, classy debut, the album oozes with style. But although her voice is strong enough to hold its own on sultry jazz numbers and torch songs, she is equally at home experimenting with rock, pop and r’n’b styles.
Overall the album is a perfect blend of tasteful ballads and sexy up tempo numbers…all of them intelligently informed with nods from today’s r’n’b and pop production sounds. ‘Queen of Bees’ has something for everybody. Older listeners will recognise and appreciate the quality, while a younger audience will be won over by the funky r’n’b style, as well as the fantastic lyrics. The album is an exploration of love- in all its forms. So, rejection, passion, jealousy, fidelity, lust and everything in between is explored and experienced. Soon you won’t be able to stop yourselves singing along to the classic songs.
But Eva Jane not only possesses a stunning voice, she is a beautiful young woman who is equally confident in front of a camera as she is in front of an audience of people. With a beauty that is fresh and an image that is naturally glamorous, she never fails to win admirers. She thrives on performance, and her charismatic personality and beautiful smile ensures that she can win over any crowd.
Discerning listeners should sit up and listen. Recognise talent and quality when you see it and take a flight with this Queen Bee.
