Julianna Riolino considers her own growth on her sophomore record, ‘Echo In The Dust’. On these songs, the Southern Ontario musician is soft as she is tough; seeing the benefit of laying down armour and splitting her heart open so that we may get a glimpse of our own.
We’ve seen Canadian rock ‘n’ roll’s future, and its name is Julianna Riolino. Riolino has a history of taking to stages with such might, it’s as if she’s finally free of something that had prevented her from being herself. She’s no less spirited on “Echo in the Dust”, but her theatricality is more dynamic, digging into thoughtfully written songs exploring interpersonal transitions, almost like they’re scenes in a larger play that’s a memorably compelling emotional roller coaster.
