Listen To This: Work! Work! Work!

l_ce2db309df0a84bc8f6fdfebfc32eec2.jpg

Amy Winhouse wannabe Duffy may be all the rage in the U.K., but she does nothing for us!

Why????

Her voice is nasal and abrasive to our ears!

Miz Jully Black, however, has a vocal quality like butter, reminiscent of India Arie.

Jully's song Seven Day Fool captures beautifully that neo-retro sound that Wino brought back with a vengeance.

The song is delicious!

Enjoy it below and then CLICK HERE to check out some fierce remixes of Seven Day Fool, from Jully Black.

      This is good. but as only one person noticed this. Jully Black does an amazing cover on the Etta James song. I only knew this because I want to buy the song and it's not on iTunes yet. Only Etta James's version.

      I agree. This woman has her nose up Ben Mulroney's ass. She is a desperate hack. I wish she would calm down and stop trying so hard to be fabulous. She's average.

      I met Jully years ago and some dancers I know are in her video. She is an inspiration for black singers in Canada. There are many talented beautiful black sistas in Canada. But you know the fact that she has made a mark in Canada she had to have worked really hard. I respect her talent and tenacity. Thanks Perez. You know good music. You should run your own label. I think you are already but honestly I think you have a great ear for music.

    18. rachel says – reply to this


      218

      eww! jullly black is distgusting - she probably makes the worst music in canada (next to simple plan ofcourse). she's a diva with no cause to be. i can't believe this is posted, i'm so dissappointed.

      What in hell, Perez, you should not be reviewing music if you could not recognize Seven Day Fool as a cover of the infamous Etta James original.

      Cover or not, old or not, it's a good song. The only people saying bad things are weirdos who are used to listening to GARBAGE liek Shitney Bares. Go back to listening to the no talent FUG that is Shitney and don't make comments on music since you don't know what music is.

      Jully Black is a wonderfully talented and amazing lady. I had the wonderful opportunity to get a photo with her a year ago at a Songwriter's Circle. Her album Revival is the Bomb! Thanks for featuring a fellow Canadian on your site Perez. Cheers!

      Listen to Duffys album. Its brilliant. I am a brit who loves Amy Winehouse's voice but doesn't agree with her life style. Duffy seems to be keeping her feet on the ground. You rave about Kylie who I also think is an inspiration to people who have had illness but shes not the best singer in the world. Listen to Duffy's alblum and think again!!!

      254

      Re: jo

      1st of all much props to Perez for promoting my homegirl Jully! And thanks to all those that have been showing her love!

      As for "Jo"(comment # 99)….

      Total Lies!!
      I don't usually vouch for anybody, but I know Jully personally and that doesn't sound like how she'd conduct herself. If you're gonna be a "hater" like so many other people replying to Perez's post(Although the "Love" she's been getting here outweighs the haters), then come right out and just say that you are, don't create bogus lies. Obviously you weren't at her show at Club Soda in Montreal that SAME weekend, cuz you would never say this wackness, and anybody who was there knows exactly what I mean. If you or your friends are so insecure about your talents, that because she may not have been "congratulating" and co-signing on your lack of talent you feel the need to get offended and spread lies, then it says a lot more about your insecurities. Toughen up your 'skin' already especially if your going on an audition, Canadian Idol Judges are so rude(by the way she is not a judge…she a correspondent), I can't believe you'd chose subject your bitterness to Jully.

      Is this message long winded? you bet! And that's the way I like it!

      258

      TO MY FELLOW CANADIANS(including the haters) that keep stating the obvious(to Canadians)….YES "Seven Day Fool" has been out since August 2007, and her CD "Revival" has been out since October 2007….IN CANADA, which seems "old" to you people! Yes, we have been fortunate to have it FIRST, but now it's time for the rest of the world to experience it, so chill the heck out!! For example, Amy Winehouse's "Back to black" CD and "Rehab" single were released in the UK SEVERAL Months before it hit the Canada and the U.S.(it hit Canada before the U.S.). Why? because Amy didn't have distribution in the Canada & U.S. anymore because her debut "Frank" album did do well…at all! There was a new deal made…and that's how we finally got it, it's called "Buzz". You know how many UK/international Artists Most of you have NEVER HEARD OF that are HUGE Stars in their territories? Before Kylie Minogue's 2001 "Fever" album, North Americans(except her real fans) had no idea she was hugely success after her 1988 "Locomotion" days. "Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Beddingfield after "Unwritten", was a re-released version of a UK album released MONTHS before. "Robyn"(1997's "Show Me Love" fame) has had 2 #1 singles in the UK/Europe last year that were just released in Canada in January. Leona Lewis' CD came out 2 weeks ago in Canada, been out in the UK for months…but out in the U.S April 15th.

    59. D. says – reply to this


      259

      P.S. - to those "Purists" who keep pointing out that "Seven Day Fool" is an Etta James cover…ahhh Duh! Get over it Jully's not the 1st artist to do a "Cover" and will not be the last! Sooooo many Pop and R&B Artists had a cover songs on their CDs in the '90s(and to recent days) - this isn't a new concept! Y'all can chill out too! Jully did an awesome job of covering this song and keeping its integrity. I mean she could have covered "At Last" like everybody else..but that would have been soooo predictable! Sure it's very true to the original, but why she want to change it completely, like so many people make the mistake of doing. Etta James is one of her all time fave singers, so that's why she chose it.

      260

      I don't know if this is because I live in Canada, but feature artists sooner! Seven Day Fool has been playing in Canada for what seems like years now. Jully Black's been famous forever here. Thanks for giving her exposure, but uppen the pace a little.

      Jully Black spoke at my high school in Toronto three years ago about downloading music illegally. Not only was she abrasive and arrogant the entire time, she verbally attacked a girl who respectfully stated that she supports artists but that she doesn't "want to pay for Britney and K-Fed's wedding." Jully Black's response was that maybe she should save her money to "buy a shirt that doesn't show so much cleavage." The majority of the audience walked out, and several people threw pennies and nickels at her, because she stated that she only makes $.7 an album- which was later proven untrue. Our high school invited a record executive afterwards to make ammends, and to apologize to the students.
      Jully Black, no one cares that you were the youngest of nine, and that you had a single mother. You're from Jane and Finch, most likely on welfare your whole life, and the fact your mother was really fertile and slutty doesn't legitimize your career or your efforts to suck your way to the top.
      The ability to respect strangers, to hold oneself with a modicum of dignity, to present your music with a good character as opposed to forced aggression, to buttress your argument while still being open to the opposing side- these attributes trump the ability to croon a song made famous by a better woman.
      You are truly a seven-day-fool.
