Toronto Artist Embraces Dance-Pop After Tumultuous Year

In October 2025, Toronto-based artist Carlyn Bezic, known for her work with the indie band U.S. Girls, has embraced a new musical identity as the dance-pop project Jane Inc. This transformation began in 2021 as a product of the pandemic lockdowns, allowing Bezic to explore a more stylistically diverse and lyrically provocative sound.

However, Bezic's journey has not been without its challenges. In April 2023, while on tour with U.S. Girls, Bezic's band van broke down on a Massachusetts freeway, and a semi-truck crashed into their vehicle. Fortunately, everyone survived the accident, but it proved to be the opening chapter to a tumultuous year for Bezic that also saw the end of a decade-long relationship and a surgical procedure to remove a cancerous growth from her vocal cord.

Now, Bezic's third album as Jane Inc., "A RUPTURE A CANYON A BIRTH," reflects her personal transformation. The album's opening track finds her contemplating her own mortality, but the overall tone is one of euphoric self-discovery. Bezic declares she has been "reborn on the dancefloor," embracing an uninhibited, unfiltered approach to both her music and her life.
