EP Review: ANA - Me Talk Pretty - Page 3

After their performance, While we sat at a table and talked, she was busy alternating between answering my questions, nibbling on cookies prepared for the occasions by the "Me Talk Pretty" Street Team and good naturedly reading the palms of whoever might want a glimpse into their future. Yes, palm reading is another um "talent" that she brought with her from her homeland. And yes, I had mine done too as did most of the nearby people at the after party. I am pleased to report that I will be in good health for the foreseeable future and successful in business to boot.

While I liked all of the songs on this EP my favorites were the following, which are the ones I would recommend as individual downloads for your iPOD; #1) "ANA", #2) "Save Me" and tied for #3) "Illusion" and "In My Arms". I think that "In My Arms" really showcases the full range of Julia's vocal talents.

I liked this EP a lot the first time I listened to it and am still listening to it (and enjoying it) four days later. I would put it up against the material of any other performer in the same general style of music. I recommend that you buy it, explore it, love it. I don't think you will be sorry for getting to know this little Gypsy with the beautiful voice and the pretty smile.

    Mr. Enki, you're a little bit confused about JULIA'S ORIGIN...she's Romanian...and you called her Gipsy...please, do a little search before you write, ok?
