Critic’s Corner: Jane Lui – Goodnight Company
To say Jane Lui is a gem of creativity in a music scene saturated with sound-a-likes is an understatement. That’s why we were extremely excited to check out her latest body of work – Goodnight Company. Lui chose to forego the traditional marketing & busines models with this release, opting to distribute the album for free via digital download and concurrently sell physical copies that include a bonus DVD. This release was more about getting her music into as many ipods and hands as possible rather than trying to rake in profit. So the question remains whether Goodnight Company is collection of quick freebies or a quality piece of work; and that’s what we aim to find out.
Jane Lui Releases the “Goodnight Company” MV
The sign of a true artist is someone who can be creative in everything they do, and not just one medium. Jane Lui tends to epitomize that statement, as nearly everything she releases is injected with an extra dosage of creativity without necessarily having a big budget and fancy editing/production. Take this latest musical music video of hers for the title single of her latest album Goodnight Company. It’s simple and not extravagant but still engaging, imaginative and fun. I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as her last video, but regardless it’s still a great watch.
