Her lyrics have been labeled everything from honest and direct to no-frills and unfiltered... and Jen Foster's brand new single certainly lives up.
"I Didn't Just Kiss Her" is a witty, tongue in, ummm, cheek response to Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl." Foster's response comes from the other side of the proverbial coin, and from a truly lesbian point of view. Says Jen...“It just seemed like there was probably more to it, you know? I thought this would be a good way to tell the other side of the story.”
So far, "I Didn't Just Kiss Her" is receiving rave reviews from the media, and Foster has several interviews scheduled to talk more about the single and the story behind it. Monday, March 30, you can hear Jen on Sirius Radio's OutQ with Larry Flick. The interview is scheduled at 9am central time on channel 109. Other upcoming interviews include OUT.com, and SistersTalk Radio. Keep an eye on www.myspace.com/jenfoster for dates and times.
Foster admits the lyrics are slightly more risqué than her usual fare, but adds “it felt right, and I went with it.” Of course, no song this honest can be released without some controversy. There are those who think maybe "I Didn't Just Kiss Her" pushes the envelope just a little too far. This blogger takes issue with that, only because, in the world of mainstream pop music, there has been no shortage of the expression of open sexuality - open, that is, in a heterosexual sort of way. But, somehow, the idea of singing about what lesbians do behind closed doors is offensive, too "in your face," or an indicator that there must be some gross immorality in your life. What is THAT about??? Really, some folks need to grow up, grow some skin, and learn to laugh a little. Seriously.
Foster’s enthusiastic fans are using popular social media tools like Twitter, Facebook and MySpace to feverishly spread the word about the new song. Released last week via Foster's Official MySpace page, "I Didn't Just Kiss Her" is continuing to pick up momentum after reaching 25,000 plays within just days of being posted. The single is available for purchase through Bandbox on Myspace or the newly redesigned www.jenfoster.com - or you can pick it up on iTunes.
Stay tuned, this song is just begging for club remixes and a really hot video....
