Music Connection says her album "broadens the boundaries of musical structure and sonic soundscapes with an approach that Patti Smith and Sonic Youth would appreciate."
Sweden's "Collected Sounds" writes gilli moon"is an intriguing new voice to listen out for". TheGlobalMusic.com writes, “by her creation, gilli has allowed the listeners of her music to paint worlds of imagery with their minds. …The lyrics are unlike any that I've heard from a pop artist, and tell me that gilli moon is more about art and presenting her passions than creating die cut pop songs.” BALLBUSTERHARDMUSIC.COM I had a vision. I heard a voice that came from the heavens to offer salvation to the masses. A talented voice that had music with soul, with emotion and that voice belonged to gilli moon ..... gilli moon is an artist with substance, that's for sure and ""temperamental angel"" has been one of the true rewards of my writing career this year.... I haven't been this excited about an artist since I discovered the music of Tori Amos." STAR NEWSPAPERS /Pop Stops - Chicago "I think it's one of the best albums I've heard all year!!!! Congratulations on an amazing disc. I liked Girl in the Moon, but this disc (temperamental angel) shows a maturity of style and voice that's profound. Your new music blew me away. - An amazingly mature and complex album, Temperamental Angel speaks to the bare emotions of love, hate, empowering sensuality and hand-tying vulnerability in all of us..... her whispery, lilting upper register brings to mind a young Kate Bush, mixed with the angst of Alanis Morissette.. Temperamental Angel delivers with a wide swatch of styles and confessions..." The Star Newspapers, Chicago put her album at no. 9, in their top 25 records of the year 2001. READ ALL REVIEWS fans speak
"The songs are absolutely killer"
"It is the most sensual CD I've ever heard" "you really show your vocal 'passion'" "it's one of the best albums I've heard all year.. Your new music blew me away." "Guitar driven edgy 'metal-pop', delivering a David Bowie-esque piano solo invasion, with catchy hooks and flowing harmony lines..."it’s like Kate Bush meets Metallica. Right on!" "gilli moon, the girl Radiohead" "It's like Abba meets Alanis Morisette on crackwith Charles Manson marrying Aretha Franklin" "great music that could rock you, mock you and sock it to you with heartfelt romantic lyrics veiled as poetry set to throb-rock funky soul sister guitars oozing textures like a painter's canvas, kundalini rising basslines and powertripping keyboards ala elton john or billy joel in the early days and those intense vocals that reached out like thing's hand and grabbed you by the throat where you were usually choking back tears..."

temperamental angel
gilli
moon's second studio CD, and first official worldwide release, temperamental
angel landed gilli moon on international stages with her self-driven guerrilla
internet campaign, “revolution hits the streets.” In conjunction with the
Bricks-and-Mortar Retail Release date, and before any other artist used the
Internet as a marketing tool, gilli moon pioneered the
cybermusic frontier, making e-waves with the first "artist
controlled" internet distribution.
temperamental angel delivers us gilli moon’s personality crisis, emotions and sensuality. It’s edgy, emotional and alternative juxtaposed with gilli’s soulful female voice and powerful rock and sweet ballads. gilli moon who wrote all the songs on the album, also produced the album, with co-producer Evan J. Beigel in North Hollywood, Los Angeles. The album sends powerful messages about self empowerment, embracing the full range of human passions and emotions that our personalities express. The album has been produced in a way to capture gilli's raw and sensitive emotions combined with her unique, naturally trained voice. Keeping with her vision, much of the production was spontaneous following a very organic approach, with all recording using live instruments. Title track winner of the Song Expo 2001, Benelux and No. 7 in the Top 15 of the Chicago Star Newspapers Albums of the Year. Hot song picks: "Temperamental Angel" (plus music video), "Naked", "Disgrace" and "Touch Me". It marks gilli's first true epigraph of what she is really about - raw, organic, sensitive yet strong. "My music and art expresses the uninhibited me," gilli says. "Honest, strong, with an Arian fire within that rages with passion and indignation of life, love and connecting with the inner soul. Love is about accepting the other as they truly are, the angel and the devil, the good and the bad. Our greatness defines our beauty, but our imperfections are also angelic too. Take me as I am." "There's something distinctly Bowie-driven …... Like listening to a female Scary Monsters, with a dose more vulnerability and greater sound from the backing players. gilli is a fine poet, everything stems from that growth… This moon blends like a peacock. You wonder at the beauty of all those colors…. Interesting, and utterly arresting." Ben Ohmart, Music Dish "I grew up loving art, loving Picasso and Pollock, loving pop music, and all I wanted to do was combine the two. I am an "expressionist" and I want to capture my vision of life, love and individual spiritual growth in a multimedia project that crosses boundaries and borders." - gilli moon
