Giulia Millanta excels on astonishing 8th solo record, "Woman on the Moon"
Delivering an astonishing eighth solo album titled Woman on the Moon, Giulia Millanta has made her way back with something incredibly heartfelt. Please read on for a closer look into the record, in addition to a background on this prolific artist.
Originally from Florence, Italy, but now residing in Austin, Texas, Giulia Millanta is a singer, songwriter, and multi-talented artist who has been on an absolute tear over the years. Sharing another piece of beauty that she’s titled Woman on the Moon, she’s described it as a “lofi smoky indie folk record with a European twist”. After listening multiple times at this point, it certainly fits the bill and has only gotten better with each subsequent listen. Needless to say, we highly recommend everyone out there give it a spin as soon as possible.
Coming in at 12 total tracks, spanning right around 40 minutes in length, Giulia keeps the listener guessing and on their toes from the first notes on. With the inclusion of a diverse set of instruments being used, the listener is slowly presented with something new as the record goes on. Kicking things off with the opener “Mad Man on the Moon”, it elegantly serves as an ideal start to let everyone know what to expect as it goes on. With powerful acoustics reverberating throughout the mix, undoubtedly our favorite part of this album was Giulia’s vocals and just how expressive they really were. Not only is she an excellent songwriter and storyteller, but she has an inviting quality about her voice that piques the listener’s interest.
Another thing that we definitely feel the need to point out is the wave of emotion that Woman on the Moon brings. None of the songs are outright “rockers” so to speak, but some of the emphasis that the production brings paired with her vocal delivery make certain songs hit harder. For example, we took to “The Ghost of Yourself” and “You Don’t Wanna Know” because they had specific qualities about them that differentiated from the rest of the record. Giulia gets to display her use of different languages and it added a really nice flair compared to the rest of the listen. Of course we recommend you listen to the whole album, but you’ll most likely come away with songs to come back to for future listens.
With all that being said, we’ve included all the important links below in order to listen, follow along, and of course to keep up with all future releases and information. Enjoy!
