Jane Wiedlin is the debut studio album by American musicianJane Wiedlin, released in October 1985 byI.R.S. Records. It was her firstsolo album after leavingnew wave groupThe Go-Go's. The track "My Traveling Heart" dealt with Wiedlin's feelings about the breakup of the band.[3]
"Blue Kiss" was released as thelead single, reaching 77 on theBillboard Hot 100 and 30 onHot Dance Club Play.[4] The album itself reached 127 on theBillboard 200.[1]
Stewart Mason, ofAllMusic, stated: "Aside from the unfortunately slick mid-'80s production, Jane Wiedlin's 1985 solo debut is probably the best solo album by any ex-member of the Go-Go's. The singles 'Modern Romance' and 'Blue Kiss' really should have been hits (they're certainly better than most of Belinda Carlisle's solo work), and the best of the album tracks trade the pertness of the Go-Go's for a slightly more mature, world-weary vibe."[1]
