The cover of

, his first album released in early October, is a retro nod to the 45s of yesteryear.

The photo, on which she appears, blonde bangs and op art blouse on a brown background, is overlooked by the list of the twelve titles of the disc.

"I am a woman of my time and of my generation"

The media like to compare her to France Gall or Françoise Hardy.

"It's hard, but I'm doing everything to get better, to love life as much as you loved it and as much as I love you." Forever. Your love chip, ”she wrote to him. "If you want to touch as closely as possible to what I am, this is the song to listen to", suggests the singer. “I didn't know she was going to be listened to one day,” she adds.

The proof that Janie may kiss the pass, she is about to embrace his future.

Janie will be in concert in Paris on March 10, 2022 at Café de la Danse and on June 17 at La Cigale.
