Jully Black (born Jully Ann Inderia Gordon on November 8, 1979 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian R&B singer of Jamaican heritage, and was brought up in the notorious Jane and Finch area of Toronto. Her given name is pronounced “JOO-lee”. Jully Black has the look of a woman that's come into her own. She carries herself with an unshakable air of confidence; her eyes shine brightly, a smile is quick to spread across her face. She has the look of a woman in love with life and full of passion for music. Jully has the look of a woman embracing her destiny, a woman fulfilling the promise of her youth. Revival is the soundtrack to this awakening, this euphoric celebration, this moment of grace.
Black had a Top 40 hit on
the Canadian charts in 1998 with “Rally’n”. She has collaborated and
written for many notable artists, including Nas, Missy Elliott,
Saukrates, Choclair, Kardinal Offishall, Destiny’s Child and Sean Paul.
She has had subsequent hits with singles such as “You Changed” and
“Between Me and U”. Her solo debut album was originally scheduled for
release in 2003 on MCA Records, under the title I Travelled. However,
it was heavily delayed, and the label folded and the album was shelved.
In the summer of 2005, a newly recorded album, This is Me. was released
by Universal Music Canada.
According to a piracy report by IFPI, the international music industry body, there were “2.8 million illegal file swapping requests for her music in the first two weeks of her album’s release in 2005”. At the same time Jully reportedly “struggled to sell 15,000 copies of the same album”. In Summer 2007, a new single entitled “Seven Day Fool” was released to Canadian radio and her second album Revival is scheduled to follow on October 16, 2007. More about Jully Black...
