Review

The sound has a new-wave rock energy. The songs poke fun at "Extra Executives" as well as the artist, who muses that she'd probably be famous by now if she weren't such a good waitress. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Canadian LP cover

No Borders Here is the second album (and first to be available outside Canada) by Jane Siberry.

The album's single "Mimi on the Beach" was Siberry's breakthrough hit in her native Canada, and remains one of her most famous songs. Toronto's CFNY was the first radio station in Canada to recognize the song's hit potential, and its support of the song was a key factor in transforming the station into a nationally-influential musical tastemaker. The song's video was also one of the first influential clips on MuchMusic.
