ABOUT THE ALBUM "Woman" CD, released on gilli moon's Warrior Girl Music label encompasses the emotions, passions and experiences of a young woman growing up, dealing with relationships and becoming self-empowered as an individual. "Woman" touches on female sensuality / sexuality, self-empowerment, openness / honesty and features Ms. Moon's band (with guest vocals by Cindy Alter (South Africa, ex- Clout band member) and Badi Assad (Brazil) along with awesome dance remixes by Sydney's Ice Jupiter Groove. gilli moon: "When i began to write the songs for "woman" i had to wonder why... what was my purpose in expression in this project? for most know that i am concept driven, i needed the project to be oriented around a theme, a concept, a meaning and agenda. I had grown up this time. the last 2 or 3 years had been a hurting time, filled with loneliness and sadness, broken relationship and lost soul mate. hurt, anger... that was what the CD before, temperamental angel, personified. but i knew that was temporary and that i would no longer remain the rebellious teenager. i need to empower myself, embark on a new journey as an artist, as a woman, and be open to the possibilities.  i wrote a book, a great book that inspires artists of all genres to get out there and make it happen for themselves. but i needed some strength for me, for my journey... and so was borne in the studio, in january through march 2002, i produced the album... WOMAN."   Released September 2002 in the U.S and January 2003 in Australia.    MEDIA gilli moon is spooky enough to be weird, melodic enough to be cool  - kerry jackson NEWCASTLE HERALD (TE SECTION), Australia   * * * * (4 stars) This singer-musician-poet-painter is going to be a superstar, at least she should be, and TE readers can claim her as their own.

She defines a sonic space that is all her own on the haunting second track I'm Calling You, as well as on her sensual interpretation of the INXS classic I Need You Tonight. As the title would suggest, the lyrical content touches predominantly on feminine issues, stretching from sexuality to self empowerment. - Steve Perin POPSTOPS, CHICAGO  Gilli Moon, Woman. Gilli Moon's Temperamental Angel disc, released on her own Warrior Girl Music label ranked as one of my top albums of the year in 2000 and her follow-up album, Woman is now out on the same label.
