Juliana Strangelove, an entrancing singer-songwriter, masterfully blends elements of acoustic roots music, fusing the mystique of swampy country with the evocative essence of dusty blues. Her unmistakable contralto voice, a rare treasure, lends a luminous quality to her musical endeavors. Born in Moscow but now in the embrace of Georgia’s exile, Juliana’s artistic odyssey is as enigmatic as her melodies. Stereo Stickman reveres Juliana as an unparalleled discovery, embodying the might and soul of a rock deity through her contralto tones. Equally impressed, Contralto Corner lauds her work as an embodiment of distinctiveness, shadowy allure, and potency.

Her early stint on The Voice Russia stirred conversations, challenging local biases and even prompting The Daily Mail to take notice.
Legendary DJ Rodney Bingenheimer propelled her compositions into the limelight, resonating worldwide. International tours naturally followed, spanning Europe, the UK, and the US, bearing witness to her sonic prowess. Amidst the backdrop of a pandemic and a world in disarray, Juliana’s passion endured. Amidst the upheaval, she and her guitarist sought refuge in Georgia, channeling their energy into strings and harmonies. This creative outpour birthed a yearning for reinvention, a new narrative in a world occasionally hesitant to embrace her Russian heritage.
Enter “Dead Poets,” a melodic rock ballad encapsulating a realm where disillusionment converges with beauty. Juliana paints a vivid picture of a character finding solace in literature and melody—a reflection of her own journey. The song encapsulates the push-pull between engaging with a tumultuous world and succumbing to the call of seclusion. As Louder Than War aptly puts it, Juliana Strangelove arrives, heralding her contralto prowess and evoking sentiments of love from Russia.
