Ballad of a Murderess:
"What is particularly mesmerising is the development of Julia’s subjects – these are not merely folklore and frollicks – they are fully formed concepts and characters that have a real depth to them, transporting the listener to a mystifying place that feels both ancient and timeless." Bethan Stuff, The Leopheard
Speaking on the album as a whole, Lee Barber, The Leopheard guest reviewer and venue manager at The Underground, added: “Ballad Of A Murderess is everything you might expect from a record by Julia Mosley. Quirky, ethereal, enchanted, full of darkness and mystery and stories borne of another world, Gods and Goddesses, Kings and Queens, Light and Dark, Shadow and Clarity. Julia has created a world you can immerse yourself in, with great care being taken in its creation, even to the point of the studio used for the album’s recording being an illusive ancient temple and the press release written by the Scribe of Ariaeth. Ballad Of A Murderess is not only a piece of art, it is an experience, a journey.” - The Leopheard
'I just can't stop watching this. Julia is now making mini masterpieces as she has become as masterful and captivating with her art, her intensely beautiful visuals as she has always been with her music. I dream of the temple and fae of Ariae at night, awash with jewel colours and wish I could stay there in the light of the flaming pink rosemoon, forever.' - Susie Ford, Julia Mosley Listener
Once in a Blue Moon:
"Okay I’ve broken the rules; It’s four track EP plus four live tracks but this is too big to just name it an EP. Julia Mosley has got a voice that many women will be jealous of. ‘September Song’ begins with some of the deepest lyrics you can ask for and I’ll bet real money that you can’t match her for getting under your skin. ‘The Conquest’ is like a tribe of Julia Mosley all conducting a powerful raindance. ‘Jack Frost’ could arguably encourage Andrew Lloyd Webber to take up hairdressing or any profession other than music as it’s more powerful and soulful than anything you can envisage on a West End Stage or Broadway. Finally ‘Red Sky at Night’ is the short gentle end to what can only be described as a delightful collection of warm, powerful, tender ballads that ooze class and wonder. This is one of Staffordshire’s finest and we can only encourage her to continue to grow. There’s no doubting her skills as you can hear the same four tracks again live straight after on this release and you’ll keep playing them all back to back just like I did. Incredible." - Nick J. Townsend, Ryan's Gig Guide.
Illuminate The Night:
'Mosley's music exemplifies the gothic connection between art and place, 'creating a sense of grandeur in the process. Threading the needle between past and present qualities of the gothic movement, there is an epic quality to Illuminate the Night that is reminiscent of the old gothic masters - Douglas Menagh, New Noise Magazine
'Julia Mosley is a rare talent in today's music industry. The Stoke-on-Trent... Mosley's evocative and diverse vocal range has won her much-coveted praise from the world of music.' - Anselm Anderson, The Rockstar Reviewer
September Song:
"...‘September Song’ taken from said EP entitled ‘Once in a Blue Moon’ is a genuinely spiritually uplifting song from one of today’s brightest talents. Crystal clear breathy vocals (no chance of a misheard lyric here!) sit atop an acoustic backing of sparse piano chords and storm cloud gathering heavy percussion. A percussion groove that doesn’t so much keep the rhythm as act as a pumping heart delivering blood into the very soul of the song. As is fast becoming the norm, it is difficult to compare Julia to any current musical style or genre. Her originality of voice and skill with melody set her a millennia apart from her not so near contempories.Listen to this record and you can only picture a being of shimmering pure incandescent light radiating words of Love and Truth upon those mortals willing to pay attention, and they who have yet to be converted.
A Goddess of Pop you could say…" - Paul Oldfield, Lasar Radio.

'The best Ghost cover I have heard. BRILLIANT! (Jismark Management) ['He Is'].
