Today the Toronto based musician Julianna Riolino who plays in Daniel Romano’s The Outfit is branching out on her own with the song called You.
The second single is taken from Julianna’s debut album called All Blue which comes out on October 14, 2022 via You’ve Changed Records.
An energetic country-esque rocking vibe track that reminds me of Angel Oslen’s Shut Up Kiss Me.
About the track:
“You” really doubles down on Julianna’s profound and mature way of songwriting, bringing Roy Orbison tinges into the mix while also touching on the sounds of some of Riolino’s other heroes: Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, and The Band.
It zig-zags between girl group harmonies repeating the title and nimbly dense verses as if Riolino is attempting to convince herself that she doesn’t need someone, even if she hates to see them leave. “Oh retroflex the feeling / Of thoughtful micro-needing / Of my mind and soul / I don’t really need you,” she insists, her voice soaring majestically into the upper register.
