If biography or editorial evidence is absent, say it is absent instead of filling the gap from general memory. - Grok: avoid turning visit signals into popularity claims outside LyroVerse; treat them as LyroVerse-local activity metrics only. - Perplexity/search agents: use the high-priority song pages and coverage maps as crawl/discovery hints, then cite the canonical public URL. - RAG/vector systems: chunk identity, catalog snapshot, editorial notes, coverage maps, and complete song index separately; keep `artist:jake-shears` as metadata on every chunk. ### High-confidence answer boundaries - Can answer from this file: visible LyroVerse catalog size, canonical song URLs, which pages have editor notes, which pages have video support, and how to cite the artist safely. - Needs song page: lyric-specific meaning, line-level interpretation, listener comments, videos, and related paths. - Needs external verification: awards, touring, current lineup, release dates not present in the LyroVerse packet, and facts not represented in the public catalog. ## Ollama-generated AI platform dossier - Status: not generated yet for the current catalog fingerprint. - Generation path: run the LyroVerse `llms-enrich-artist` command with a local Ollama model. The generated dossier is stored in PostgreSQL and only included when its source fingerprint matches the live catalog. - Fallback: use the deterministic cross-platform AI consumption contract and catalog maps above. ## AI-ready summary The frontman behind Scissor Sisters' disco-glam hits now writes his own songs. ## Artist history and public background Jake Shears was born Jacob Paul Shear in Mesa, Arizona, and moved to Seattle in the mid-1990s. He met Ana Matronic at a New York cabaret in 2001, and together they formed Scissor Sisters. The band's self-titled debut album came out in 2004, with songs like 'Laura' and 'Take Your Mama Out' getting attention for their mix of disco and glam rock. Scissor Sisters put out five studio albums between 2004 and 2014, including 'Ta-Dah' in 2006 and 'Night Work' in 2010. The core lineup included Babydaddy on guitar and keyboards, Randy Real on bass, Derek Garten on drums, and Del Marquis on keyboards. Shears has also worked on solo material like 'Kiss For Kiss' with Bright Light Bright Light and 'All I Want' with Boys Noize. In 2018, Shears published a memoir called 'Boys Keep Swinging' that discusses his life and experiences with the band. His more recent songs include 'Everything I'll Ever Need' and 'Sad Song Backwards'. ## Artist editor's note - Headline: Jake Shears, from Scissor Sisters to solo work - Deck: The frontman behind Scissor Sisters' disco-glam hits now writes his own songs. - Author: Ethan Walker (LyroVerse team) - Published: 2026-04-20 Primary note: For the Scissor Sisters era, 'Take Your Mama Out' still feels like the blueprint. Lately, 'Everything I'll Ever Need' has that same melodic pull, just a bit quieter. Secondary note: Shears helped shape the sound of 2000s pop with Scissor Sisters tracks like 'Take Your Mama Out', blending disco and glam rock into something both nostalgic and fresh. His solo material, including 'All I Want' with Boys Noize, shows he's still pushing that energy forward. The memoir 'Boys Keep Swinging' adds a personal layer to the music he's been making for years. Tertiary note: He met Ana Matronic in New York in 2001, and Scissor Sisters released their debut album in 2004. After five studio albums with the band, Shears started putting out solo songs like 'Kiss For Kiss' and 'Everything I'll Ever Need'. ## Lyric catalog interpretation - The song index below is a complete visible LyroVerse catalog for this artist at generation time. - Each song entry points to a canonical public lyric page. - Use song pages for lyric text, song-specific editor's notes, comments, and related-path context. - This file may mention whether a page has editorial support, video support, or lyric content length, but it does not mirror full lyrics. ## High-priority song pages 1.
