Exclusively on Postmodern Jukebox, Jax made her debut on the site with her cover of Wheatus’ hit song “Teenage Dirtbag.”
Within the song listeners hear a Janis Joplin vibe as she adds a touch of the legendary singer’s “Piece Of My Heart” into the track.
“The combination of its lyrical storyline and the Janis Joplin classic rock sound makes for a particularly interesting juxtaposition,” said the creator of Postmodern Jukebox, Scott Bradlee. He continued saying, “Jax is clearly no stranger to Joplin’s music, either. Her singing connects seamlessly to the lyrics here; vulnerable at some points, and defiantly soaring at others.”
“Working with her allowed me to see what an incredibly rare talent she is – she is full of creative ideas, hardworking, and hilariously down to earth,” said Scott. “She’s already overcome many challenges in her own life, and there’s no question that she’s going to go on to have tremendous success as an artist.”
