Delicate and Magical vocals bring these songs to life
If you like pop styled folk with a dash of alt-country then you are sure to love HONESTY by the very talented and enigmatic singer Juliet Piper. Her songs are vibrant and almost cleansing to the soul. They are delicate and magical, like a breath of fresh air that freshens and brings back to life every part of your body. Juliet’s vocals are organic and raw, engaging and uplifting. Juliet is one of those people who thinks you should get on with life rather than moan about it. Her music reflects those values. Juliet’s music could be described as a beautiful painting, a silk scarf wrapped around your neck or like soaking in a bath of the most incredible essential oils. Her style and vocals have been compared with the likes of Martha Wainwright and Ingrid Michaelson, both highly talented singers with amazing carers. Rain is predominately a pop song with a good measure of modern folk added to the mix. The end result is an ethereal sound. Juliet’s vocals are strong and evocative. With her words and music she is able to transport you to another place. Little Ants is a quirky song with upbeat musical backing. Juliet’s vocals are enchanting and just a real pleasure to listen to on this song. There is so much energy in this carefully crafted number. Willow has a gentle musical introduction. Juliet’s vocals are haunting and fragile. As the song develops Juliet’s vocals come more into play. Juliet’s raw passion filled vocals literally transfix listeners. Hummingbird is very organic in sound and style. Listening to this song it is like Juliet is in the room with you performing the song. She seems so alive and so natural, never over produced. Luna is a folk/pop based song with quality vocals. This song has a more dramatic feel, provided by the instrumentation. Sadly this is only a five track EP. Listeners will certainly want more after hearing Juliet perform so majestically.
