I had the pleasure of seeing Brooklyn's Janet LaBelle perform live a few weeks ago, and all I could keep thinking was that her style of music and even her look was the perfect fit for a prom performance set in the 50s.
The video for her single, "You Don't Get It (So Forget It)," was filmed in L.A.'s Griffith Park. It's truly a pleasant experience for your eyes and ears. It's just Janet and her ukelele and her bellowing vocals. This depiction of a heart-wrenching love song has the ability to clench your heart and squeeze it until you're feeling the emotions within the lyrics. We've all been there, and Janet has no problem putting it all out on the line for the sake of a good old-fashioned love ballad that's also incredibly catchy.
If Janet LaBelle is playing a show near you, I highly suggest you go! It's lively and adorable and fierce all at once. In the meantime, grab yourself a copy of her EP, Blossom & Blue!
