Legendary rock/power-pop artist Donnie Vie has released the single, “Plain Jane,” on limited-edition 7-inch vinyl and across all major digital platforms. The release is backed with the B-side (a cover of John Lennon’s “Instant Karma”) offering fans a double shot of Vie’s signature melodic grit and timeless songwriting.
“Plain Jane” showcases Donnie Vie at his finest — hook-driven, emotionally charged, and packed with the unmistakable vocal character that has made him one of rock’s most distinctive melodic voices. Paired with the energetic and attitude-filled “Instant Karma,” the release captures both sides of Vie’s musical personality: heartfelt pop craftsmanship and raw rock ‘n’ roll edge.
