Song of the Day - Nobody Knows About Juliette

Today's song of the day comes from American rock band Juliette and the Licks, who split up in 2009. They are led by actress Juliette Lewis, who is of course the 'Juliette' of the band. They released three studio albums in their lifespan and four singles, which did fairly well commercially without ever quite 'making it'.

This is 20 Year Old Lover:

So What's So Good?

 

20 Year Old Lover opens on a heavy rock riff, with crashing drums which drive the song along. It's filled with energy and it's a lot heavier than a lot of music that I review, but it's still enjoyable. It's not quite so much 'indie' as traditional rock, but I still enjoy it.

 

Lewis' vocals are surprisingly refined and powerful, considering she wasn't originally a singer. Her piercing voice fits the heavy music perfectly, with power and precision. It's surprisingly enjoyable.

 

Lyrically the song is quite simple and I think the title gives it away, so there isn't a lot to say there. 20 Year Old Lover is a powerful rock tune with some great hooks. Give them a listen.
