Search - Julie Kovich :: Seven Days to Conquer

The Motor Citys loss is the Big Apples gain. Julie Kovich's first CD, Wyatt's Torch, was a well received effort on the Detroit music scene. And now, Julie has relocated to New York City where the finishing touches have been put on her much anticipated second CD, Seven Days to Conquer. Julie Kovich does nothing halfway, and Seven Days to Conquer proves that point emphatically. While so many are immersed under the notion that having angst to grind and a bitch to pitch is the only way to be heard, Julie Kovich's music is centered, focused, sophisticated and intelligent. What a concept. These days Julie calls New York City home. I know this because Julie called me a few weeks ago to tell me that she had just finished her second CD, Seven Days to Conquer. And on this mundane and sunless autumn Detroit day, I've settled in with Seven Days to Conquer and I am here to tell you that this artist has only gotten better since the days of Wyatt's Torch. Today, Julie Genevis is Julie Kovich. Today, Julie Kovich is working hard and playing hard in New York. Seven Days to Conquer is proof positive that those who pursue their craft for the love of song and art make the music that people will still be talking about in the years to come. Where Wyatt's Torch only scratched the surface of what Julie Kovich's sound is all about, Seven Days to Conquer is her affirmation, her declaration and her exclamation. There's no such thing as giving up in a Julie Kovich composition, and she just might be the key ingredient that is missing from so much women's music today that could be more life-affirming if only it weren't for all of those sad endings. Kovich's style is a pleasant mix of carefully crafted pop with a twist of genuine heart and soul. Take everything you know and feel about your life and let it all merge with the music that works on Seven Days to Conquer. You'll wonder what took you so long to discover Julie Kovich. Believe the hype, embrace the hoopla. Get yourself a copy of Seven Days to Conquer and find out why Detroit is missing Julie's presence so much and why New York is so lucky to have her all to themselves. - Cheryl Morgan
