REMEDY MAGAZINE Townsville Australia
From the first time I listened to this album I was hooked. I have listened to it so many times I have driven everyone in the house mad. Gilli sings like an angel with the strength of an opera diva. This CD features a fabulous cover of INXS “Need You Tonight” as an ode to Michael Hutchence. The album oozes self empowerment with titles like “I’m Calling You” and “I Think Of Him”. www.allmusic.com "Among the emerging post-bubblegum backlash of down-to-earth, in-your-face female singer/songwriters is attitudinal Aussie gilli moon. Her lyrics are intensely personal, her melodies either guitar-driven or vocally driven... One gets the feeling that the process of creating the album was as much a cathartic process as a creative one. The results are engaging and thought provoking and very easy to identify with."

Woman
gilli
moon's third studio CD, again a Warrior Girl Music release, touches on female
sensuality, sexuality, self-empowerment,
openness and honesty.. Alternative pop, mix of traditional rock 'n roll,
r&b vocals, sensual female vocals, groovy piano and eclectic rhythms.
Woman encompasses the emotions, passions and experiences of a young woman growing up, dealing with relationships and becoming self empowered as an individual. While the album is organic in approach like her previous, keeping the raw rock band style in recording, it also includes some electronic drum 'n bass and loops. More self-penned pop songs than ever, and with singles, “Woman” (plus music video), "Damaged or Broken", "Tiny Diamonds", "Someone To Love" (featured on Paul Mitchell's Salon Sounds alongside Norah Jones). "Organic" and gill's sultry and delicious cover version of INXS' "Need You Tonight". As producer, gilli moon teamed up with Matt Thorne (Trapt/Kate Ceberano) and Ken Moore in Los Angeles. The album features Gordie Germaine on guitar, Jeffrey Dean on bass, Evan Beigel on keyboards, Ric Craig on electronic drums and Brian Burwell on drums. Guest vocalists include Cindy Alter (South Africa, Clout band member) and Brazilian superstar Badi Assad. "The songwriting is still intimate and drawing from personal anecdotes about my own life living around the world," Gilli says. "The last record was dealing with a lot of angst, some anger and frustrations, a bit like a rebellious teenager, whereas this album is like a coming-of-age piece, showing strength and convictions about life and love. When i began to write the songs for Woman, I had to wonder, “why?”... What was my purpose in expression in this project? As most know, I am ‘concept’ driven. I needed the project to be oriented around a theme, a concept, a meaning and agenda. I had grown up. The last 2 or 3 years had been a hurting time, filled with loneliness and sadness, broken relationship and lost soul mate. hurt, anger... that was what the CD before, temperamental angel, personified. But i knew that was temporary and that i would no longer remain the rebellious teenager. I need to empower myself, embark on a new journey as an artist, as a woman, and be open to the possibilities. And so was borne…, WOMAN." "I have loved deeply And given more than enough... Will I love again? Tell me, is it true? That I will find my soul mate? I am a woman and I am ready to love again." - gilli moon WOMAN:
being comfortable in my own skin \ empowerment \ two halves of the same whole... relationships are possible \ finding myself \ inner strength yet inner fragility \ i'm only trying to grow up \ kiss me i'm ready... i'm all... grown up now! - gilli moon music video
