1. Juliet Richardson (born 1980, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American singer, known as Juliet, best known for her 2005 album Random Order and hit single “Avalon”. Her recording debut was in 2000 as the singer for 1 Plus 1. Their single “Cherry Bomb” from the Elektra Records album of the same title reached the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 2001, as well as the Top 50 in the Dance chart.
Despite the initial promise of success, Richardson expressed displeasure with the marketing direction for 1 plus 1, and the act was recreated as alternative rock band MNQNN (pronounced “mannequin”). This music, differing greatly from the work of 1 plus 1, prompted Elektra to release them from their recording contract. MNQNN played rock clubs for a couple of years before the band went on an indefinite hiatus in June 2003.
Richardson persuaded Josh Deutsch of Virgin Records to sign her to that record label. She reconnected with Steve Sydelink who had worked in her bands and was the drummer in Madonna’s band.
In 2004, Richardson returned to major label recording, after Sydelink introduced her to record producer Stuart Price (also known as Jacques Lu Cont) under the name ‘Juliet’. The album resulting from this project, Random Order, was released in August 2005; reviews of advance copies have been well received by critics. The advance single, “Avalon”, reached the top 5 on the European Dance chart in May 2005, and number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in March 2005. “Avalon” was popular at the 2005 ‘Miami Winter Music Conference’. The song also reached the Top 30 of the UK Singles Chart in April 2005. She scored a second number one on the U.S. dance chart in August with “Ride the Pain”.
In August 2005, Richardson released her debut album on Virgin Records. Recorded with the help of record producer Stuart Price of Les Rythmes Digitales, Zoot Woman and Madonna’s Confessions On A Dancefloor fame, the album drew comparisons to a young Annie Lennox or Madonna thanks to her coolly emotional delivery with a sultry sexual charge. Richardson collaborated with other producers on the album, Guy Sigsworth on the song “New Shoes” and Jacknife Lee on “Ride the Pain”.
2. Juliet is a 3-unit gyaru group and consists of members Hami, Maiko, Yumi. Their first single is called ナツラブ and it was released on August 5th. Without them ever showing what they looked like their single shot up to #1 on Chaku uta and Reco choku uta with over 500,000 downloads. On October 7th was released a new singe titled [フユラブ]/Winterlove.
3. "Juliet" is a four-piece noisy emo band from Arizona. The band released an EP called "Christmas Island" in February 2011, followed by a split release with "Blackwater" in May.

Juliet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My best face and bells on for you tonight
A dangerous attraction was my first impression
Would you take me home tonight?
And if I don't have you, I don't have nothin' at all
And if I don't need you, I don't need nothin' at all
To break my fall
Please, do take notice as I am delirious
High on the nonsense, oh, are you oblivious?
Hold on to let go, play yes to say no
Protest the protest but he never came
And if I don't have you, I don't have nothin' at all
And if I don't need you, I don't need nothin' at all
I'll find my way home, not to worry 'bout me
I'll find my way home, spare your sympathy
I've got my best dress and new shoes
A brave face and bells on for you
And if I don't have you, I don't have nothin' at all
And if I don't need you, I don't need nothin' at all
And if I don't have you, I don't have nothin' at all
And if I don't need you, I don't need nothin' at all
The lyrics of “New Shoes” by Juliet describe a woman who is getting ready to meet a man who she is attracted to. She puts on her best dress, new shoes, and even bells to make a good impression. Her first impression of him was that he was a dangerous attraction, but she is willing to take that risk to be with him. She is dependent on him, and if she doesn’t have him in her life, she feels like she has nothing at all.
The woman’s desperation is evident as she tries to get the man’s attention. She is delirious and high on the nonsense, but wonders if he is oblivious to her advances. She is trying to hold on to him but feels like she is constantly pushing him away. She protests his protests, but he never comes to her. Despite the uncertainty, the woman remains hopeful and believes that she will find her way home.

I've got my best dress and new shoes
I am dressed up in my nicest outfit and shoes
My best face and bells on for you tonight
I have put on a happy and attractive demeanor for your sake, and even added bells to signify my excitement
A dangerous attraction was my first impression
I was drawn to you immediately, but I also acknowledge that you may not be the best influence on me
Would you take me home tonight?
Are you interested in spending the night together?
And if I don't have you, I don't have nothin' at all
My happiness and sense of fulfillment completely depend on being with you

If I am not in love with you, then I do not find any value in anything else either
Please, do take notice as I am delirious
I am hoping you will pay attention to me because I am feeling overwhelmed with emotions
High on the nonsense, oh, are you oblivious?
I am feeling ecstatic about my feelings for you, but I am not sure if you are aware of it
Hold on to let go, play yes to say no
I am confused about what to do, whether to hold on to you or let you go, and I don't know how to express it
Protest the protest but he never came
I was hoping for a response or a reaction from you, but you did not seem to reciprocate my feelings
I'll find my way home, not to worry 'bout me
I am capable of taking care of myself and finding my way back home, please do not worry about me
Spare your sympathy
Do not feel sorry for me and my feelings for you
A brave face and bells on for you
Despite my true feelings, I am putting on a brave face for you and still trying to show my excitement
