Jully BlackNovember 15, 2011Inspirational. Sophisticated. Ambitious. These are just a few words that could be used to describe Canada's R&B Queen, Jully Black. This title however, was not acquired without years of hard work and dedication to her craft. In the summer of 2007, Jully garnished her first Top 10single with "Seven Day Fool", a new take on the Etta James classic modernized by Jully's upbeat and soulful version of the song. "Seven Day Fool", along side another single "Until I Stay", was featured on her sophomore release "Revival" which would go on to win in the R&B/Soul Recording of the Year category of the 2008 Juno Awards, an event at which she was the closing act. 2009 saw Jully exercising and perfecting her live performance as well as the release of her next collection of recorded material titled "The Black Book" which included the hit singles "Running" and currently receives generous rotation on radio stations of various genres. |
