Touching My Soul” is the first single out from Jane’s new project, and it is a much more modern and contemporary sound than what she’s been involved with in the past. It certainly isn’t R&B of the neo-soul variety, but you can hear those influences in Jane’s delivery. Her sultry voice delivers a plaint alternating between electrifying, relaxing and pleading. Her nocturnal encounter sounds like it could be the start of something magical, or merely a disappointment that she wishes would materialize into something more. And it’s that ambiguity that’s enticing.
The beat itself borrows from British house and trip-hop. It’s simultaneously dark and bright, which helps keep the track from ever settling on one particular emotion. Its percussion is fast enough to have you dancing, but the chords are so languid that it’s hard to envision letting go to this at a club. Jane and McInnis are perfectly happy to cede control of the song throughout, making for a great balance.
There isn’t anything else to hear from Jane at the moment, but she says that she’ll be finishing up a big EP in the next several weeks. A release date is unclear, but we’ll of course keep you posted.
