Boni Jane announces the release of her latest Album - Dancing with Angels - IN DIGITAL STORES EVERYWHERE
Boni Jane announces the release of her latest album - an album concept originally due to deliver in early 2019.
The album is focused on a theme of comfort for those who are experiencing loss in it's many forms, whether by separation or bereavement and in a time when so many are forced to watch a loved one's final journey via webcasts from their homes due to restrictions in numbers at services, music is a universal comforter which can console and uplift in times of sorrow.
Visitors to Boni's social media channels and here at - Bonijane.com - can read about how Boni was inspired to write the lyrics for each of the tracks and how the songs developed. Giving listeners an insight into the creative process and the sentiment and associations which contributed to each individual song.
Work on the album suffered severe delays and interruptions throughout 2019, including at one point, Boni being temporarily exiled from her London home due to civil engineering works and restricted access to the familiar surroundings which form part of her creative process.
Now, having returned to London, she is pleased to announce the album is launched and available in all popular digital stores.

Dancing with Angels - TITLE TRACK
Boni was inspired to write this song for a close friend who had lost her loved one and her dancing partner of 30 years after she had a dream of them dancing together surrounded by angels. Her strong belief in angels started in childhood when her mother would often repeat a quote from the bible “Angels encampeth around those who believe”.
The photograph on her album cover of an angelic cloud in the sky was taken on a day when her prayer had been answered. She had prayed to Uriel the Angel of the weather during constant torrential rain asking for it to stop, within minutes the rain stopped and gave way to a blue sky and even brought sunshine for her son and his friends who were camping for a long weekend. She was thrilled as it remained sunny for all three days!
Fly Away - will be included on Boni's new album
Fly Away has a soothing ethereal quality to it with a haunting melody and pan-pipes.
The sentiments of the song relate not just to lost loved ones but also encompass the emotions of children leaving home (the nest) and going out into the world – encouraging us to feel joyful that they are discovering their talents and making their own way.
In that way we do not see it as a loss but a feeling of gratitude that we were blessed with children.
The Fly Away video can be seen on this website and here on Youtube .
