Its latest single, "Tears of Faith" featuring vocals by Jane Badler, is a down-tempo electronic dance arrangement about broken relationships and the hope for reconciliation. Its accompanying visual, directed by Leanne Hanley and releasing this month, works to elevate the song by injecting a humorous Frankenstein meets Reanimator theme. Essentially, tells a classic tale of looking for love, finding it, and then being destroyed by it. John von Ahlen plays the role of a mad professor, intent on creating his perfect soul mate. Through the power of computers, A.I. and a little bit of magic, he manages to transmute a blank slate into the perfect female creation, played by Jane Badler. It is love at first sight, at least for the professor. Unfortunately, his new mate was made a little too perfectly, and she rejects the mad professor via methods such as zapping his body and brain with lasers and cutting his head off. The "Tears of Faith" video is about love, loneliness, and hubris; it touches on the superficial and the spiritual. "It was a load of fun to film," says John von Ahlen, "especially the parts where Jane comes to life and has to kill me." The entire video was story boarded, but Jane did a fair bit of improvising. "She really took on the role of homicidal android with gusto. I made sure the plastic protector was on the saw, as it could have been lethal to my sleek and tender throat," he laughs. Jane Badler appeared regularly on American television from 1976-1989. Along with V, she starred in One Life to Live and Fantasy Island. She also played the seductive snatcher of Alec Baldwin's baby in The Doctors and caused a stir opposite Kim Novak in Falcon's Crest. In 2010, Jane Badler returned to V in the re-imagining of the series. Written by John von Ahlen See less
