Julia Brown calls herself a singer-songwriter. But her debut album is anything but your typical singer-songwriter fare.
This first recording by the Richmond, Virginia native is a surprising blend of hooky pop, driving rock, smart lyric and eclectic arrangements. All the songs are washed in Julia's powerful vocal stylings. She can roar and whisper instantly and easily - and often within the same song!
The album's 10 tracks were all written by Brown, and produced by Christian Cassan - the producer behind 1999's Minster Hill debut. The record was mastered by Eddy Schreyer, who has worked with artists such as Michael Penn, Jon Brion, and Fiona Apple.
Julia grew up on a variety of musical genres; her own musical tastes run the gamut. She's an avid fan of Britpop's best (Elvis Costello, David Bowie, XTC), old soul favorites (Luther Vandross, Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin) and classic songwriters (Michael Penn, Neil Finn, Ani DiFranco).
Julia brought all her influences to bear on her first album, adding a talent and ability that is hers alone.

It's a pity that there are no song samples of "We Can Have It All", "This Is Your Day" or "Miles From My Home" on this site. Those are just great songs and each of them is worth buying the whole CD. Julia is an incredible writer and a fantastic singer. Her melodies are very creative and catchy. I love the CD, it really is a keeper!

I hear many influences in Julia's work (long live British pop), but she takes them all and makes her music unique and her own. Great composer, compeling lyricist and an intriguing voice that embraces you from the first note to the last. Buy it! If you don't like it, I'll refund you!!!

The grand vocals, insightful lyrics and overall production of this record will join this CD and your player in holy matrimony. The only threat would be Julia's forthcoming CD.
