Edward & Jane

Edward & Jane were a duo made up of Edward Costa on guitar and Jane Martin on vocals. Their song 'Please Don't Leave Me Like This' became their most recognizable track, a straightforward ballad about separation that connected with listeners.

They released a debut album called 'Echoes of the Heart,' which included the singles 'Hold On to Me' and 'In My Dreams.' Later albums followed with titles like 'Love and Lies' and 'Crossroads.' Their music generally worked in the space between ballads and more upbeat pop songs.

Both members dealt with personal difficulties while the band was active. Edward had issues with substance abuse, and Jane struggled with depression. Their relationship was also public knowledge at a time when that wasn't always conventional, which drew some media attention. The duo's lyrics often focused on themes of heartbreak, which some critics found overly bleak.
