Jade Starling best known as one half of the late 80s duo Pretty Poison (#1 platinum hit "Catch Me I'm Falling" on Virgin Records) will be releasing her much anticipated new solo album “Captive” in 2014.
“Captive” will feature collaborations with Lee Dagger of the hugely successful English remix team Bimbo Jones (Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue, Rihanna etc.), DJ Laszlo currently on a streak of number one Billboard Club hits including (Selena Gomez’s “Come & Get It”, Kelly Clarkson’s “Dark Side” and Justin Bieber / Nicki Minaj’s “Beauty and A Beat”) and French DJ/remixer Franck Dona (Universal France).
“Insomniak” will be the first official single from “Captive” with mixes from Lee Dagger, DJ Scott Mann, Dark Intensity, Bisbetic (Italy), Alex Preston (Australia) and the award winning Dj/Remixer/Producer Chris Cox.
“This club anthem is notable for its lush vocal verse and hypnotic buildup to a stellar instrumental hook”.
“I first made contact with Lee Dagger after hiring Bimbo Jone’s to remix my “Dance Revolution” single. We hit it off well and decided to explore collaborating.
Within a short period of time Lee & I along with my long time writing partner Whey Cooler have written eight songs together so far” (“Only Love”, “Every lil Beat”, “Subliminal”, “Insomniak”, “Thinkin’ About U”, “Spontaneous”, “Place In The Sun” and “Awake”), all of which can be heard on “Captive”.
Similarly, DJ Laszlo has several collaborations making it onto “Captive” (“Better and Better”, “Love of A Lifetime”, and “Runaway Hearts”) The LP is rounded out by the Franck Dona collaboration “Everything in the World” and the Starling/ Cooler compositions “P.I.M.P.”, “Captive” and “Dance Revolution” also remixed by Bimbo Jones.
During July 2013, Jade scored a major coup by raising over $20,000 during a very successful Kickstarter campaign, the proceeds from which will be used to fund the promotion of the new “INSOMNIAK” single.
On Aug. 13th 2013, Jade performed live at the “House of Blues” in Atlantic City where she was introduced by Colin Cosell the grandson of legendary sports caster Howard Cosell. This was the featured Promo Only party at the 21st annual DJ TIMES DJ Expo. In addition to this, Jade was featured on the Artist panel and gave an award to Internet Radio station “Fusion”. Also on the bill were EDM superstars Krewella and Luciana of DJ Tiesto fame.
Pretty Poison’s “Catch Me I'm Falling” celebrated its 25th anniversary during the Spring of 2013. Over the years, this platinum hit has been included in scores of movies, TV specials and CD compilations including the 80s cult classic “Hiding Out” starring Jon Cryer, “Kickin’ it Old Skool” starring Jamie Kennedy, Adam Sandler's "Don't Mess With The Zohan” and more recently on AMC’s Emmy Award winning series “Breaking Bad”. In addition “Catch Me I’m Falling” was recognized by VH-1 on its Top 100 OHWs of the 80s Countdown coming in at #47 for the entire decade.
The new live show features a medley of songs from the EDM influenced “Captive” as well as a number of classic hits including “Catch Me I’m Falling” & “Nightime”.
