This one might already be known to many people on here but it wasn’t known to me. Another blind buy (based on seeing there was a cover of “People Are Strange” and the totally cool photo of Julie on the back) and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The cover of People Are Strange is, well, strange.

 Sort of slightly psych but also to me it also sounds sort of disjointed-Broadway as well. It’s hard to describe so take a listen for yourselves. My favorite track on here is the first one: “All’s Quiet on West 23rd street”. The intro is banging, and when her voice comes in it’s just right to my ears. I suppose this could be considered pop, but to me it seems that there is something else going on.

Apparently Budd was a child prodigy sort of singer cut her first album when she was 14 or so. She still seems to be around and has a website, but truthfully she seems to have gone the diva singer route which I find much less interesting than what’s on here. Oh, and here’s that photo of her from the back cover. http://waxidermy.com/blog/julie-budd-child-of-plenty/
