JULLY BLACK

Revival
Universal

Jully Black may be on a major label but she's hungry and works it like she's indie. With her second album, Revival, Canada's hardest--working R&B/soul singer proves she has something else that's major – star wattage. Lead single “Seven Day Fool” is an Etta James cover that shows off Black's timeless voice, and serves as a springboard for a retro motif that permeates the album with horn blasts, strings and tambourine. Of the ballads, “Wishing” stands out as it features an improbable whistle sample most recently heard from Darryl Hannah's lips in Kill Bill. But album opener “DJ Play My Song” is a cacophonous party romp in which Miss Black says it best: “DJ won't you play my song so I can make my honey drop, so I can make my money pop.”
