Juliet's debut CD was produced, recorded and mixed by Rob Seals (www.robseals.com) at The Sound Boutique Studios, Burbank, located in The Song Writing School of Los Angeles (www.thesongwritingschool.com) , and was mastered by Gavin Lurssen and Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering in Hollywood. Gavin has recently won his third Grammy for his work on the Robert Plant and Alison Krauss album, 'Raising Sand', which won album of the year , and Reuben also worked extensively on the award-winning soundtrack of Slumdog Millionaire.
“Juliet's songs have such a marvellous intensity and integrity to them. They feel like old English folk songs that might have been sung for generations. We worked hard to make them at once sonically contemporary and aesthetically timeless. The instrumental compositions have all the moving elements of a great film score. It was an honor to help this talented artist record her first record.” Rob Seals, Producer '(A Promise Of Return) is one of the most accomplished and refined pieces by a debut Hampshire artist for a long time." Warwick Payne , Hampshire Chronicle, December 17th 2009
All the songs are written and composed by Juliet and on the recording she sings lead and harmony vocals and plays the piano, flute and guitar.
