Giulietta Gears Up For New EP With Video For "Over"

It's been a while since I've had the opportunity to talk about Giulietta. This Australian pop goddess has been steadily releasing music over the past few years, including a completely free album, and a single that was produced by T-Pain. Unlike those who are along the same path as she is, Giulietta is not just a single to single gal. She's a big fan of albums (she's got two of them already) as well as EPs. Her latest single "Over" is a testament of what she's got in store for her new EP XXI.






I am in love with this song. "Over" is Giulietta's ultimate middle finger in the face of someone who has hurt her greatly. Having spoken with her some time ago for an interview, I knew that she had a lot more of a story to tell than what we heard from 911: Code Pink, and this track really gave her the medium to have her voice heard. Coupled with a brief appearance from Charlie $tardom (who is oddly uncredited in the track itself), it seems like she has another amazing hit on her hands.

The video is a bit below what I had expected. While she does look beautiful, as she usually does, there isn't a lot that happens. The visuals are stunning, with the backdrop being a cliff on the roadside, but with most of the video just her walking in circles and singing her song, it's not really enough to keep a person's eyes glued to the screen to see what happened next. I guess it was just needed as an introduction to the upcoming EP, so it didn't have to be extravagant.

Now, this is the part of the blog where I'd usually throw an iTunes link your way, but unfortunately she hasn't provided one yet. It looks like the video was released to garner interest in XXI prior to it's release, and it's certainly got me talking. No track list has been provided for the EP yet, but it looks as though the producer for "Over", Praajex, who is crazy talented by the way, is going to be working on the entire project. All we have to go on is a statement from her management saying "The two have been working on her EP over the last 2 months and plan to release it early [2015] with a series of videos."
