Janita - 'I Want You I Warn You'
Janita releases dark and mysteriously euphoric new single 'I Want You I Warn You'.
As she explains, the message of “I Want You I Warn You” is a personal one from a female artist in a man’s business, and a woman in a man’s world. “The song’s meaning isn’t just in the lyric, it’s in the impact of the guitars, the arrangement, and the production. This is me as a woman, taking charge, and owning my place in this world. And that act—right now—is not just personal. It’s political.”
“Sometimes you write a song about something specific and personal, and it winds up being about something larger because of the moment the song finds itself in,” says Janita. “This is a song of a woman telling someone ‘I want you, watch out.’ The song isn’t a threat––in fact, it’s a love song––but it seems now that women simply saying what they want and how they want it is threatening to some. To many, actually.”
From the outset of her career, Janita has commanded attention while breaking with record-industry norms. As a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and songwriter, she’s uniquely defied convention yet repeatedly enjoyed mainstream success.
