Album Review
After a five-year hiatus, Jane Wiedlin returned with Kissproof World on her own label, producing the record as well. There's real chemistry among her backing band, which includes guitarists Luke Tierney (of Silverjet) and Frank Agnew (of the Adolescents) and Wiedlin's little-girl voice reveals more maturity, noticeably on ballads like "The Good Wife" and "He's Not Talking." The latter song is a moody, dreamy duet with Matthew Sweet. Kissproof World draws on Wiedlin's past with the unbridled "Die Now! Pay Later!" and the punchy, singalong title track. There are also a few inspired touches like the use of the Bulgarian Women's Choir during the bridge of "Icicle" and the Middle Eastern-flavored "Feeling Like Flying." Lyrically, Kissproof World has a very personal feel: sometimes amusing ("Fallen"), sometimes somber ("The Good Wife." Kissproof World is some of Wiedlin's best and most engaging work.
Customer Reviews
Kissproof World is a solo tour de force
Review by Rob Sheffield - Rolling Stone Jane Wiedlin has aged fabulously into the grande dame of New Wave art chicks, the once and future Go-Go's guitarist who still has endless get-up-and-go-go of her own some twenty years after she co-wrote "Our Lips Are Sealed." We die-hard Janeheads keep flocking to her solo records like supplicants to a sacred grotto, and she doesn't disappoint with Kissproof World, available on her own indie label from janewiedlin.com. Over a barrage of guitar-heavy power pop, Wiedlin blows blue kisses, pitting middle-age malaise ("Die Now! Pay Later!," "The Good Wife") against middle-age lust ("Drain," "Muse"). Fortunately, lust wins; judging from the shockingly risque‚ CD booklet, Jane's had sex on the brain lately, and you can hear it in the music. Matthew Sweet contributes a lovely harmony to the ballad "He's Not Talking," but Kissproof World is a solo tour de force from an entrepreneur, actress and rock goddess hellbent on smashing her cutie-pie image. Tune in and hear why Jane still has her fans in a lip lock, and why, after all these years, our lips are sealed.
