JANE
BADLER's place
in television history is safe and secured thanks to her unforgettable
role as the evil seductress who led an
reptilian-alien invasion of the planet Earth in the mini-series
turned-television series V back in the early eighties. The scene of her
swallowing a guinea pig whole is right up there with that goblin on the
wing of the airplane that a shell shocked WILLIAM SHATNER just so
happened to be a passenger on in the TWILIGHT ZONE. But these days,
BADLER's life isn't about getting lost in long gone sci-fi glory. Since
the late aughts she has embarked on a musical career that has become
known for BOWIE-esque musical changes with every new release.
And
ROCKWIRED can proudly say that we were there from the beginning when
the American expatriate (now based in Melbourne Australia) released her
debut CD THE DEVIL HAS MY DOUBLE which boasted an eerie minimalist
cabaret sound. She followed that album with TEARS AGAIN - a more
exuberant release punctuated by orchestral touches and BADLER's
willingness to take risks with her vocals (recalling DEBORAH HARRY of
BLONDIE). Now BADLER truly comes centerstage as both a vocalist and a
songwriter with her new album OPUS and the album is her most
adventurous to date. From the wistful pop of VOLCANO BOY to the sensual
pulse of LOSING YOU and the scratchy electro-punk of FAME the
title OPUS is truly deserved here. Way to go JANE!!!
