An exciting new female artist showcases her talents on this mouth-watering EP
It was with some excitement that I stumbled across a five song EP from Houston born singer/songwriter Julie Forester called DANCE WITH ME. Julie has appeared on stages all over the world including London’s Piccadilly theatre and has toured all over Europe and the UK playing the late great Eva Cassidy in a stage production about her life. Compared to acclaimed artists like Jewel and Trisha Yearwood, Julie has a lot to live up to and some big footsteps to follow in and she does so effortlessly. Oozing with talent Julie is a big star in the making. Julie is everything you could want in a singer and more. This EP will give listeners a glimpse into the type of music Julie can perform as well as allowing them to see just how fantastic she is vocally. Feelin the Fall is a wonderfully polished opening song that proves that Julie can sing. Her voice is powerful and strong, full of emotion and passion. As soon as you hear this opening number you know that you are listening to someone with bags of talent, someone who is just a little bit special. Forget is a slower number bursting with emotion. This is a strong number that really showcases Julie’s vocals. Modern country fans will enjoy this lovely song. They Danced is another slow number that sees Julie’s voice take on a soft, delicate quality. Julie gives a passionate performance on this number. A truly brilliant ballad that Julie puts her heart and soul into singing. An outstanding song and performance that would give any currently established artist a run for their money. Petty Jealous and Small sees the mood change completely. This is a much heavier song that has echoes of Miranda Lambert’s style. Julie shows on this EP that she can sing slow ballads that really get under the listeners skin as well as fast lively songs that really pack a punch. Julie is anything but one dimensional. Alive is the final offering on this EP and is another slow number. This is another highly polished song that floats nicely along and brings the EP to a fitting close. This EP does well to wet the appetite of listeners and leaves them silently and eagerly begging for more.
