Giulietta Gets Us Pumped For Her New Album With Video For "Real 1"

If you haven't been following Giulietta, you may be surprised as to what her sound is like now. Gone is the techno/electropop sound she had on albums past. Now she has moved on to a very solid and smooth R&B vibe. Probably the best example of this is "Real 1", her newest video.

I love this track. I really cannot get enough of this. As much as I loved the Code Pink era of  Giulietta, XXI is shaping up to be an even better time for her. She really seems to be at home in this new sound, and given some of the transitional songs such as "No De$$ert" where she dabbled into rapping this seems to be an obvious next step.

"Real 1" is very much a girl power track. The whole song is about how her ex shouldn't have dumped her because all his new girls are nothing. She was the real one. The chorus is really what will either draw you in or send you running. "You got bitches and bitches ain't Sxxt." is one of the most awesome and powerful lyrics I've heard from the music scene this year. Her restrained anger is something you don't see every day.

The video, again, is in true Giulietta style. For the past few videos she's done, they mainly feature her singing to the camera in various outfits without a plot. We do get the vibe of the track here, however, during the segments where her man is tied up with a sheet over his face being "tortured". This is not to say it's not an entertaining video. Giulietta is a beautiful woman, and the production is really well done.

This is the third single from her new album XXI due out June 16 (US) and June 17 (Aus). As of this time there are no pre-orders available, and track listing is still TBA.
