Robert Day Hey Julia-Sophie, what's up?
There is something disturbing and edgey about these tunes. It feels like we are trapped at home in some terrible pandemic or something. Favorite track: x0x.

there’s a sadness inside of me in places that i hide not capable of feeling you we should give it time i wanna tend to your words feel something deep inside be human when i feel rough feel complete by your side with your heart in my hands i feel safe with your heart in my hands i feel safe there’s a darkness inside of me don’t have to tell them why for you to see beauty here we must lose our minds i want something sweet how lovely that would be close to your heart beat nothing left to bury me with your heart in my hands i feel safe sit down and breathe sit down and breathe sit down and breathe kiss me kiss me there’s a shadow inside of me and panic in my heart taste the salt of tears walk the street at night we’re trapped in a bigger dream you whisper close to me “there’s a sky we could almost reach” let the image burn in me with your heart…. breathe breathe breathe breathe with your breathe breathe breathe breathe with your heart breathe breathe breathe breathe with your breathe breathe breathe breathe

I question myself Over and over A crush ing pain We so often face Hard to shake The feelings I have Makes time pass slow It’s enough to break my heart Nobody wants me here Nobody wants me here Tell me where We should go It’s gonna take time To fall into place Nobody wants me here Nobody wants me here Nobody wants me here Nobody wants me here Before I cry You hold me tight We’ll find a way To make this right I’ve been afraid We all make mistakes Want more of you now I swear that we won’t fade je suis toute seule / i’m all alone tu es là. tu regardes / you are here. watching me il faut qu’on se sente / we need to feel each other touche moi. trouve la joie / touch me. find the joy le soleil se lève / the sun is rising on le regardera ensemble / we’ll watch it rise together aujourd’hui il fait beau / today is a beautiful day tu me prends la main / you take my hand tiens moi / hold me je te tiens / i’m holding you avant que le soleil se couche / before the tout se termine / it all comes to an end embrasse moi / kiss me on s’aime / we love each other

I left you At dawn So that I could find What we were fighting for How can I face the world? I tried to tell you that things are not what we thought Even with my arms Wrapped around yours Tell me why my heart beat is on the floor Do you think about me? I can’t tell if your dreaming of me I tried to buy time To be okay tomorrow To look inside my mind Hot head cold heart We cried until lungs hurt We tear our worlds apart I wish that I Didn't love you That you didn’t make my heart beat tear in two Do you think about me? I can’t tell if your dreaming of me Do you want to waste your days with me? I’m lying on the backseat going crazy I wish that I Didn't love you That you didn’t make my heart beat tear in two Do you think about me? I can’t tell if your dreaming of me Do you want to waste your days with me? I’m lying on the backseat going crazy Don’t feel alive enough to call you Don’t feel alive enough to call you Don’t feel alive enough to call you Don’t feel alive enough to call you Don’t feel alive enough to call you Don’t feel alive enough to call you Don’t feel alive enough to call you Don’t feel alive enough to call you Don’t feel alive enough to call you

about

The story of my songs goes something like ‘losing my way, falling, finding comfort in emotions buried deep for years and dealing with them now resurfacing, reconsidering the relationship I have with myself and others’.

I worked to create rich textures of shadow and light with lyrics that excavate darker histories into something luminous; ribboning melodies that want you to fray, that people could listen to over and over until the pain subsides. I came to point in my life when I realised that I had been coasting through life and in these songs, rather than carrying on floating I chose to rip myself open and see what would come out the other side.

These songs form partial translations of the depths we may all struggle to express; the struggles and blisses that rub against language; trembling between reflective moments and bursts of intensity. I wanted the music to reflect a sense of finding my truth; the very painful process of immersing myself and questioning the certainties of life itself; finding that all is uncertain and that nothing and everything felt raw and real. Having fallen in love with electronic music, I wanted to create electronic music that wasn’t cold or dystopian so I consciously chose to express my feelings by creating a hybrid world of folk, electronica and emotion; of deep-rooted imaginaries, hypnotic beats with lyric integrity.

“Julia-Sophie delivers once again. I Left You has all the facets of a true masterpiece.”

“Julia-Sophie has produced something great in “I Left You”. For this to be her second song is pretty astounding, and makes me wonder what other worldly tunes we’ll be treated to next.”
soundsgoodblg.com/2020/03/31/julia-sophie-new-single-i-left-you/

Sustained by tribal drum machine rhythms and gliding, arpeggiated synth melodies, Julia-Sophie submerges you into a fractured world of heartache and humanity.

Hypnotic, seductive… a philosophical rumination.
