The Big Moon, Juliette Jackson’s female four-piece from London, are ready for their next step to stardom. They prove so with their second album Walking Like We Do. On it, they didn’t simply copy the grungy rock that made their debut album Love In The 4^th Dimension so beloved. Instead, they traded their signature guitars for keys, and a more ‘80s inspired sound.

Barcelona is the long-player’s new single. It starts with a flute, followed by a melody as sunny as the capital city of Catalonia itself. Lyrically however, it’s about Jackson’s anxiety to grow older. A wonderful pop song and a great step forward.
