Janis Ian is a singer and songwriter whose career went through three distinct stages. She broke out as a teenager with a gift for social and political commentary, documented on her self-titled 1967 album and its hit single "Society's Child." Ian returned in the mid-'70s with deeply personal songs about life and relationships, typified by Between the Lines (1975); a track from the LP, "At Seventeen," became her best-known song. In 1993, she re-emerged as an independent artist whose comeback album, Breaking Silence (1993), fused a mature viewpoint to an urgent, confident lyrical voice. The introspective and polemical sides of Ian's musical personality, as well as her love of folk, rock, and pop sounds, all found a place on 2022's The Light at the End of the Line, her final studio album. An archival live set, From Me to You: Live in Bremen 2004, was released in 2025.
