notes
Singer-songwriter Julia Barry studied and wrote music for piano and voice from a very young age. Entering as a teen into an era overflowing with female confessional pop music, Barry's songs distinguished themselves from the crowd immediately. Earning acclaim for unpredictable melodies, substantive lyrics, and powerhouse piano-playing, her live sets have been described as "mesmerizing" and "provocative." Her agile, intimate vocals are simultaneously melancholy and sweet, a fusion of gritty (think Tori Amos), wistful (Beth Gibbons of Portishead), sultry (Diana Krall), and luminous (Joni Mitchell). Barry's debut album, Arrivals (copyright "Julia Rose"), was released independently in June 2002; a second album is forthcoming.

This disc is a gem - buy it!
author: DaveI've never listened to a disc and said "wow!" after every song before - until this one. Julia plays amazing piano here and her voice just soars. Her full, but understated arrangements and intense lyrics make this CD a must-have. I can't wait for her new one!
heavenly voice, state-of-art recording quality. a real jewel.
author: Jenn Hua Chenhard to decscribe this CD because it is too perfect. a 5-star performance and sensational recording. it is so blessing to find this CD in today music world.
great voice!
author: Tim WJulia's is a smooth angelic voice as yet undiscovered by mass media. alright, I hate making comparisons, but think qualities of Tori Amos, Sarah M., and Enya... really a great voice! I just wish I could make out ALL the lyrics without having to look at them in print, but this is just the downside of hearing a voice used so beautifully to paint an aural picture. Personally, I would love to hear a few orchestrations to accompany her. The piano work is fine, but I believe some tracks would sound stellar with well orchestrated backup beyond just piano (or synthesised instruments). A prediction.....some small film maker is going to discover Julia Rose, use her on a soundtrack, and everyone will then be treated to her voice as she climbs the charts.
Something Special
author: Gary McBrideThis disc really is something quite special - beautifully performed and recorded. Julia's piano playing is superb and complimented by her ethereal vocals. I am looking forward to hearing more music from this talented individual in the future:)
Breathtaking.
author: BrinaThe album is simply stunning; nothing about it seems to fail. Her voice is enchanting and her piano playing is masterful. On top of that, the lyrics are incredible. I always judge lyrics as best if they can be taken out of the song and read on their own and still retain their integrity. All her lyrics stand up to this; so pretty. Highlights are, I think, Black Swan, I Am, Petunia, and Song for Us Trying, though every song is incredible. This is a CD that I want to buy hundreds of copies of and give one to everyone who means something to me (if only I had the money for it ...).
"Arrivals" is a wonderful thing. Julia Rose should appeal to fans of Tori Amos a
author: Anna Maria StjarnellJulia Rose writes complex songs and plays the piano well. "Another Man" is a lovely song. Rose's piano playing is fluid and her voice expressive. "Lullaby" is sweetly played and still dynamic. Its subdued nature hides strange depths. "Song for Us trying" is a sad song but it's not overbearing. Rose has the skill for writing moving songs. "Tigerlily" is light and playful musically but its lyric is as dark as an old English folk ballad and that's very dark indeed. "Here" is haunting and sparse. "Arrivals" is a wonderful thing. Julia Rose should appeal to fans of Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan.
Love it!
author: DylanTori Amos meets Eva Cassidy meets Joan Osbourne. This girl rocks!
Congrats Julia. It's great! Good shipping too.
author: Katy/TravisI'm very impressed with your verbrato. (Is that how you say it?) The recording quality is very good.
I'm addicted!!
author: DebI just can't stop playing this album. It's been in my CD player since I bought it, and even though I've got a stack of other albums sitting right there, I haven't listened to anything else for a month!
My new favorite album!!!!
author: JoyTotally captivating vocals! When I take my long commute to work, I always play this CD. And I become so entranced with Rose's beautifully interwoven vocals and piano that I've more than once missed my exit!
Rose's "arrival" CD is an incredible debut.
author: EveThis CD marks an "arrival" to take note of! Rose's voice is truly unique. The lyrics on "Black Swan" are especially poignant. "Song for Us Trying" is the one I find myself (trying to) sing in the shower...
