Jane Remover has released two new songs, “Royal Blue Walls” and “Cage Girl.” The artist formerly known as dltzk shared the new material along with a statement about their new name and creative direction. “The best way to figure out who you really are is through honest self-expression and I’d prefer to start anew,” they wrote. Check out the new songs and see Jane’s full statement below.

Jane’s final release under their previous name was last year’s full-length Frailty. In an interview with Pitchfork at the end of December, the teenage musician talked about their work and unexpected rise to online popularity. 

Jane Remover:

The stage name dltzk has never sat right with me. Oftentimes in interviews or during conversations, I struggle to get the name out of my mouth. Originally being a username I’d conjured when I was a kid, it reminds me of what I’ve been doing with my teen years… Hiding. The best way to figure out who you really are is through honest self-expression and I’d prefer to start anew.

With that being said, most people know I’m not very fond of my EP ‘Teen Week;’ it encapsulates a gradual acceptance of my own true self. While making that project, years ago, I was not in the same headspace, as I currently am today. I was much younger… I was a teen (LOL) and I was still learning how to navigate life. I’m not comfortable with the project as it currently is, so in the next coming weeks, that EP will be abridged to a version more to my liking.

dltzk reminds me of a period of my life I’d like to move past, and I hope you all understand my reasoning as to why I’m dropping it. I’ve spent enough time facing bigotry in my life, from the closest people in my life to even my own fans. I know, for a fact, who I am and what I stand for. Just so everyone is in the loop now, and I don’t have to keep beating around the bush: my name is Jane, from now on I make music as Jane Remover, and that’s all there is to it.

“Royal Blue Walls” is a song about… yeah 😎
