Lizzy Jane - IGNITE EP

May 3rd 2024
Digital EP

Ignite is a body of work about the cycle of re-discovery within oneself. Discovery through trial and error, development on what brings one joy, and expansion on one’s purpose in life remain consistent themes throughout this record. IGNITE, is the most authentic and true piece of art I have put out under the Lizzy Jane project to date. The meaning behind the ‘Ignite’ title, is quite literal - to (cause to) start burning or explode. When I began this EP in the midst of a pandemic, I felt lost, hopeless, without the ability to control my own future and -thus - left in a very dark place. It was bigger than the pandemic, it was larger than the industry we know and love full of life & music being shut down, it was a yearning call to address the art I knew I wanted to create vs what I was actually creating... and I think a lot of people can relate to a point in their life in which they felt all of things I was feeling....The only out is through. It was time for a change and I wrote this EP in full to express my definitive moments in time throughout this process. I created this body of work to give the Lizzy Jane project a platform for musical freedom moving forward.

IGNITE is a cycle of darkness to light, from the intro track “dusk” to the outro track “dawn”. dusk (intro), midnight (interlude), and dawn (outro) represent the timeline of self discovery with the singles ‘Washed
Away’, ‘Where You Are’, ‘U&Me’, & ‘Connection’ represent defining moments in this cycle of development towards an authentic, true self. Ignite is about finding yourself through the phases of life that define who
you are, the good, the bad, & the ugly.

The IGNITE EP is definitely a journey in itself. With short one to one and a half minute songs that could be played live with a synth and microphone on stage to four-minute records that encompass high levels of bass synthesis, sound design, and storytelling to straight banger, dj - tool tracks ... IGNITE encompasses it all. I feel very fulfilled as an artist to have a record that really takes you on a journey. It is meant to listen to from front to back, and I truly believe every listener will have a different favorite song.
