Luxury Experience Magazine
"...This is Julia's debut release, but rest assured there
will be more from this talented artist. Born with the gift
of a passionate and engaging voice, Julia has learned
to use her gift as she does not just sing for her audience,
she sings to her audience...her songs and her
arrangements...are to the point and are packed with
emotion and feeling...After giving Hush a spin you will
realize, as so many are realizing, that this excellent debut release is just the beginning..." read more...

"New York City is a town with heaps of virtually indistinguishable female singer-songwriters. Now comes Julia Joseph, unique in approach with a voice and songs fresh as an early-spring morning. Magnetic and intelligent - your attention to this CD is recommended. Catch her live to seal the deal."
Steve Ladner
"Hush is the first album in a very long time that I've wanted to listen to over and over again...It's really tight and sweet and just plain beautiful. The songs, the melodies, and jazzy rhythms are so nice...And I love the way you use the range you have, high and sweet and low and sultry, just so cool, mesmerizing. I think you're on top already no matter what happens." -

The Living Room 9/10/07 "This show swallowed me like a dream. The compositions, arrangements, playing, and raport w/the audience took me straight to the top floor. Soul, jazz, pop, latin, bossa nova, blues, rock and country were lovingly employed. The female, three part harmonies added as much as a horn section. Extra cred for a Solomon Burke cover. She should be all over FUV and I'd be surprised if she doesn't book Joe's Pub this year. ps- the women in this band are off the chain. (JJ's taken)"

Edge/NY Propaganda
“...An imaginative guitarist and powerhouse singer, her set managed to balance delicate introspection with the raw energy of solid blues and soul. ‘A voice that could awaken the dead and lull the living to sleep,’ I was thinking, as I looked behind me and realized there was not an inch of space left in the room. People sitting on the floor, standing in the back, piling in from the bar. Mesmerized. Transfixed. Converted. Watch out. Your town could be next...”

"In a world of too much talent, you will be blown away by
Julia Joseph. The first time I heard her sing, I simply could not believe the richness and maturity of her voice and the sophistication of her delivery. It contains traces of her heros – Nina Simone, Phoebe Snow, Janis Joplin – but it's more than that. Julia was born with a musical gift beyond the scope of what most of us will ever develop. Not just a kick-ass voice, but deep musicality with a sense of joy and beauty. The fact that she remains undiscovered is truly mind blowing. It's obviously just a matter of time."

"It was a little early in the night for 18 year old Single Malt Scotch– but that was the alcohol equivalent feeling of warmth, depth and complexity I was getting from her singing. Her voice is always the bomb."
