Giulietta Unveils Second Single + Video For New EP

Australian indie-pop sensation has been teasing her new EP XXI for a while now. Last month she dropped the first single, "Over", and now she is wasting no time in getting more music out for us all to listen to. This time we get to hear and see "She Ain't Like Me". And thought the topic may sound like a Taylor Swift song, it's anything but.





I'll be honest with you all. I'm not 100% sold on "She Ain't Like Me". It's a far departure from even the RnB-Pop mix that we have been hearing previously from Giulietta. This song has a traditional sounding rap beat. It's very low key and slow, having a lot less energy. Basically it sounds like an extended interlude from a late 90s/early 2000s album.

That being said, she sounds flawless. Even if I'm not in love with the song, I can appreciate the vocal performance, which is always spot on with this lady. The video is along the same vein as it's predecessor, being very simple and focused on Giulietta in more common settings without a complicated plot or dazzly visual effects. This simple feel really fits with both the song's subject (of being better than your chick, obvs), and it's more relaxed and unconventional (in a pop sense) composition.

"She Ain't Like Me" might not be single of the year, but it's quality is a step above most other independent artist out there, and it leaves me very hopeful for XXI. The EP is said to drop in early March with the entire work being produced by L.A. producer Praajex. It has also been confirmed that this will not be the last music video released for the project.
