SUMMARY:Janis Ian
DESCRIPTION:Janis Ian keeps a sign above her workspace at home\, a North Star that guides her after more than five decades as a revered songwriter who dares to say what no one else will. \n“Do not be held hostage by your legacy.” \nWhen you’ve written\, starting at age 14\, some of pop music’s most evergreen songs — “Society’s Child\,” “At Seventeen\,” “Jesse\,” and “Stars\,” among them — it’s no wonder she’d need a reminder to shake free of our expectations. \nNow\, at 70\, Ian is embracing a new milestone: the art of the farewell. Set for release on January 21\, 2022 on her own Rude Girl Records\, The Light at the End of the Line is Ian’s latest and last solo studio album to bookend a kaleidoscopic catalog that began with her 1967 self-titled debut. \nIan says\, “It takes a certain amount of maturity to realize that you don’t have to keep proving you can write.  I’ve already created a body of work I’m proud of\, and I’m old enough to realize that it’s the light at the end of the line that matters.  And I’m not calling this retiring. It’s rewiring.” \nAs her first album of new material in 15 years\, The Light at the End of the Line also sets the stage for what Ian imagines is her final North American tour in 2022. \nLet’s be frank: It’s a bittersweet moment for fans who have stuck with her from the very beginning. At once familiar and poignant\, these 12 new songs present Ian in miniature. They’re intimate portraits of getting older but wiser (“I’m Still Standing”)\, of knowing when to stand up and not take any more shit (“Resist”)\, of celebrating life’s fleeting beauty (“Swannanoa”)\, of exalting in your true identity (“Perfect Little Girl”)\, of paying homage to a lifelong hero and her demons (“Nina\,” as in Simone). \nHer original idea was to name the tour “The End of the Line” and write a song around it\, but that felt too bleak. Instead\, she says\, “I wanted to write about the result of all these years. As part of that\, I’ll change it to ‘The Light at the End of the Line’ and write a more adult version of ‘Stars’ to go with it.” From 1973\, “Stars” was often called Ian’s “comeback song” and was covered by Nina Simone\, Cher\, Mel Tormé\, and a host of other artists who felt the song spoke to their own lives. “As I wrote ‘The Light at the End of the Line\,’ I realized that it’s really a love song. I didn’t understand that so many years of meeting my audience after shows\, of corresponding with them\, had created this very real relationship that few artists are privileged to have.” \nThere’s a moment on every Janis Ian album that parts your hair\, upends your ideas about her comfort zone. Her latest is full of surprises. She strikes a triumphant tone on the opening “I’m Still Standing”.
