Review

Julie Dalia's debut album, SEPIA, is a delicate portrait for the discerning listener. Featuring the timeless, soaring beauty of a world-class soprano, SEPIA is world-class music for many other reasons.

The songs on this album are powerful, imagistic and evocative, defying easy categorization. A sweep of international rave reviews have christened SEPIA as "Adult Alternative" and as "Crossover Music." Themes stretch from the mythic to the soulful with a literary yet very human, almost innocent essence. Elements of jazz, classical, folk, rock and blues are integrated by the haunting, emotional presence of Dalia's flawless voice.

Even the jazz listener will be satisfied with the songwriting. Dalia's unique electric and acoustic guitar styles, coupled with extraordinary performances on jazz bass and dazzling lead guitar treatments by Jeff Ebnother, one of the many musicians on board, create a seamless, breathing flow reminiscent of tides. SEPIA was written and produced by Julie Dalia.

The tunes span from the rockish, dark "Your Face No More" to the tribal elegy "Daughters," which is sung partly in Cherokee and Kickapoo Ojibwe; to "Tchefuncte River" -- a virtuosic vocal piece having roots in Civil War era music; through, finally, the sparse, intense title track, "Sepia" -- a statement about women and culture taking reference from Greek Myth.

Not simplified or abridged, it is a demanding work. SEPIA Is Rich In Innuendo Yet Soothingly Melodic.

Our feedback about Julie Dalia's SEPIA is that it is wonderfully rich and complex - far from easy-listening; that it is full of surprises; that her voice is incredibly beautiful, and that is it good to listen to all alone in the dark; last, that it is good music to love by…we know that you will be pleased if you buy this album.
