Tangled (Jane Wiedlin Album)
''Tangled'' is the third studio album by Jane Wiedlin, released in 1990 on EMI Records. It was also her third solo album after leaving new wave group The Go-Go's.

Two singles were released from the album. The leading and main single "World on Fire," was released with a semi-controversial music video. The single was issued in America, Japan and Italy. The second single was the promotional-only American sin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
