Julie Feeney Fuses 'Pop Ambitions Of Gaga With Elvis Costellvian Wordplay' (Village Voice)

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) In the weeks since her stunning new album 'pages' was released in the US, Irish sensation Julie Feeney has amassed high critical acclaim for her uncompromising sound that both Village Voice and Time Out New York called "captivating," drawing comparisons to everyone from Sufjan Stevens and Elvis Costello to Lady Gaga and Bjork.

In a glowing review of 'pages' (released on her own label, mittens), People Magazine said that Feeney "brings her own sense of whimsy" to a sound that calls to mind Sinead O'Connor and the Cranberries' Dolores O'Riordan. Village Voice praised Feeney for "blending the pop ambitions of Gaga with Elvis Costellvian wordplay," and Irish Voice magazine declared, "if Jackson Browne and Eleanor Rigby had a baby, she might be named Julie Feeney."

A composer, conductor, singer, and avant-grade fashionista, Feeney continues her whirlwind year as the host of "High Fidelity: A Century of Sound," an ongoing 26-part radio series on Ireland's RTE Lyric FM that covers the history of recorded sound. Feeney is already gearing up for the recording of a new album as well as an opera that she'll compose in late 2011.
