“Lover Man”
with its neo-standard atmospheric shadow play, contrasts with “Round Midnight”
; Both with their dreamy & smoke filled cool & darkly warm air of reflection.
With other standards like “Lets Fall In Love” , “Caravan”, “No More Blues”
& “Cry Me A River” we are treated to an in home live look into Juliette
Esper’s performance The segue into
Juliette’s “Dzuma” works, showcase her work in Estonia & cross over into
a different color & nuance. Cuts such as “Café Torino” & “A Letter From
Tokyo” run a gamut of post modern dance that is stimulating in it’s originality
& thought provoking lyrics “Deo” & “Solitude 3000” showcase currents of pop & dance rhythms with synthesis & mainstream textures that are modernist & neo-disco without the trappings of retro. Swaths of European & a South American breeze shimmy into Baltic flavors of originality. Again changing
dimensions in “ The Creaking Boots” work, conjures up tunes such as “I’m
Done I’m Thru” with it’s down to earth roots tone ; Coupled with “Voodoo
Baby” which has a pseudo-campy retro feel replete with some Rockabilly
hick-up overtones Juliette Esper
has the heart of a gypsy as she pans over the terrain of styles that lead
to “Revival”. Originally from Estonia, Juliette has scanned the European
horizon to find a safe haven on the emerald isle Where she goes
from here only she truly knows. Our guess is that the more she coalesces
her divergent influences with the many talented musicians & composers
that she gravitates to; Juliette Esper will always challenge her own limits,
thereby transforming her stylistic approach into a new found hybrid of
musical revival, that tips it’s hat to the past whilst leaning towards
the ever present future of melodic intimacy & eclectic creativity |

Juliette
Esper’s “Revival” is a classic work of sultry & seductive artistry from
this Irish Chanteuse. A new beginning & rebirth for this multi talented
singer, as she traverses through genres of jazz, blues, free form, traditional,
alternative, trance & roots music all with the stamp & creative fluidity
that is her mark
