'This latest CD is her "first ever live album". I'm playing it right now, as I write this. 'Why Dont You Do Right' has me adding sassy and seductive to the description of her voice. While in 'Skylark' that voice is as smooth as King Island cream. Her rendition of 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face', had me reaching for the replay button. Julia's talent is well and truly up to the task of Edith Piaf's 'Padam Padam'... so gutsy! Perhaps I'll play that one again as well!
In addition to these classic songs, dotted through the album, her own songs create a fusion of her electronic songwriting and the strains of the jazz band. All together- uber cool. Julia produced, mixed and mastered the CD herself at her own studio in Melbourne,. Hopefully this won't be the last time that she produces a CD with this quality of jazz vibe. Go to Julia's website to sample some of the album for yourself. There's also a great interview on her home page.' REVIEW OF 'LIVE @ BENNETTS LANE' by Jeannette Davison (ISIIAD) |

“Dazzling Australian Julia Messenger offers not one, but two electrifying new albums. Her riveting electro-pop features hypnotic production and breathtaking vocals. These chill sounds pack infinite heat. Songs such as "Shiver," on "Productions & Collaborations," tend toward a sensually down-tempo feel. "Butterflies" floats with magical airiness. The title track of "And We Danced" rides a throbbing bass line into a keenly poetic examination of shattered relationships. Messenger's music entices with addictive allure.”
