Giulietta's "No Where" Video Is Here

Ever notice how many ways you can work a name like "No Where" into an article title? Think about it? Giulietta has been on the path to stardom for a while now, and being on a track produced by T-Pain is only aiding her in her quest to be as awesome as she can be. Now, the video is out to give you an even better view of what this song is really about.



This video is actually pretty simple. It is the simplicity, however, that makes it so enjoyable. Giulietta is known for having crazy videos with lots of fast pace storytelling. This song called for something far different. "No Where" is a much slower track than her past few songs have been, and that called for a bit of a revamp. The bulk of the video is her reminiscing on a past relationship that had failed on her. Truly beautiful scenes such as her leaning against a wall that has a projector image of her relationship and her walking through the woods in a sullen atmosphere make for a truly stunning video.

My only problem, actually, is one I have with many of Giulietta's videos. The guest rapper, Tay Dizm, is not in the video at all. This would be fine if he only had a small rap bit like Dall Diamond in "Pretty In Pink", but Tay's part is actually more of the song length and content wise than Giulietta's. That means for a good chunk of the video, she is on screen while not actually being in that part of the track. When I had spoken to her before, she mentioned that due to being located in Australia, getting her featured artists involved in a video shoot was much more of a hassle and expense, but I was still expecting to see Tay, seeing as this is her big debut with Nappy Boy.

Simplicity and Dizmlessness aside, this is a big step in the right direction. She is transitioning from a electro-pop artist into a R&B-Pop artist, and with that comes a distinct change. We began to see this shift late in the Code Pink era, but with the new single comes a distinct stylistic change. We still have our red-haired beauty, but with her now comes a harded attitude and a more focused sound.

Giulietta Goes "No Where" With Tay Dizm

I looooove me some Giulietta. She is one of the most talented and amazing indie artists out there. And lucky for her, people are taking notice. Her new single, "No Where" not only features a familiar face, but is produced by someone quite famous -- and certainly sets her above her peers.


Look at that fine print on that cover there. It says "Prod. by T-Pain". That's right. Giulietta has been ushered into the House of Nappy Boy. This is an amazing feat for any artist, let alone an unsigned pop singer who's last album was released at no charge. I have been following her for a long time and able to see her grow. The track has been released by Nappy Boy Digital, but I have not seen any word yet if she is being added to the roster officially.

This single comes as a bit of a departure from her previous album "911: Code Pink". While there was a slight R&B influence on the album (as well as Tay himself), pop was the main focus. With this release, pop is pushed aside for the time being. The song is about a relationship that has stalled and isn't going in any direction, good or bad.

I was really surprised by Tay's heavy involvement in the song. He actually takes up the better half of the song with his rap, leading a casual listener to think Giulietta may be the featured artist instead of the headliner. I have to say that the best part is her layered chorus of "It feels like" repeated in syncopation.

This track may not be free like her previous work, but it is still worth checking out for only 99cents. Grab your copy on iTunes.
