"Blue Kiss" was Jane Wiedlin's first single on her own after leaving the Go-Go's, issued on I.R.S. in September 1985 as the calling card for her self-titled debut album. She wrote it with singer-songwriter Randell Kirsch, and it's bright pop that found a second home in the clubs.
It got to number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 30 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart. A 12-inch stretched it out with an instrumental and two extended dance mixes, one of them by William Orbit, while the seven-inch's flip, the album closer "My Traveling Heart", is a Celtic-tinged ballad about how she felt when the Go-Go's broke up. Two videos were shot but only one came out, with Wiedlin singing and playing guitar in the back of a truck rolling down a back road.
