I Think You Know

Grade: B

Rocks like: Regina Spektor and Kate Nash

Fans of Kate Nash and Regina Spektor, pay attention! Julia Nunes is fast following in their footsteps.

Nunes’ mellow sound and powerful vocals create a balance that eludes most novice musicians. Nunes’ latest EP, I Think You Know, serves as the artist’s declaration of empowerment.

Although Nunes’ music is teeming with potential, her lyrics leave something to be desired. Her words lack feeling and give the impression that she’s trying too hard.

However, Nunes makes up for what she lacks in her lyrics with her aptitude for melodies and multi-tasking instrumentals. In addition to all the vocals and lyrics on the EP, Nunes is also responsible for the song harmonies and beatboxing.

She even plays the ukulele and the guitar. As if her instrumental versatility wasn’t enough, Nunes released her album under her own record label, Rude Butler Records. Her accomplishments exceed those of many of her more established peers and colleagues.

Since Nunes certainly hasn’t reached her peak, her fans can look forward to watching her grow as an artist.
