NYC singer-songwriter Richard Julian (sometime member of The Little Willies, a country side-project for a number of artists, including Norah Jones) just made his major-label debut last year on Manhattan Records/EMI with the critically acclaimed Slow New York. It's full of "nimble lyricism" and "keenly observational songs." He's putting out a new record later on this year, so get to know him and his latest release now before he becomes a superstar.
