“Disco Lemonade,” the latest single from Jane N’ The Jungle is all the above, a 90s alt-grunge laced rock elixir, served up with an indie rock twist.
Taking cues from the classic “Sex and Candy” while channeling a vengeful, female ethos, “Disco Lemonade” does not simply tip its hat to the past it struts through it in a long leather coat, beneath the flash of a whirling disco ball. The song throbs with hypnotic melodies, smoky vocals and a slow-burning intensity that rises like a memory you can’t shake.
Frontwoman Jordan White’s sultry but defiant vocal half dances, half punches as it carries over the song’s brooding, guitar-slashed undercurrent with unapologetic ease. The band’s moody and mysterious grooves marry the rawness of alternative rock with the dreamy haze of indie and yet embraces that raggedness that’s become their calling card.
“Disco Lemonade” isn’t merely nostalgic for the 90s, it reinvents it, imbuing the time with renewed vitality and anti-establishment defiance. It’s a song for misfits, midnight drives and everyone who has ever gotten lost in the neon haze of nostalgia.
