Album Review: Jackie Onassis - Juliette

A surprisingly fresh and suave twist on hip hop, Juliette is vibrant and full of life. Jackie Onassis' signature chilled backbeats anchor each song, keeping you focused and in place so as not to spiral out with the quick reel-off of lyrics. With each track deservedly earning its place on Juliette, from the bouncy Special Occasion to the melodic Said And Done, their blend of smooth electronics and intense, sometimes expletive, lyrics (it is hip hop after all), inevitably compels you to love Australia's new Hilltop Hoods. Jackie Onassis have tapped into a rare power to make a fun yet sophisticated hip hop EP, appealing even to those self-proclaimed haters.
