JULA releases video for debut single ‘Leave’

Emerging talent JULA has shared a video for her track ‘Leave.’ Released via Tall Mountains Records, the video is a wonderfully unpretentious visual to accompany a beautiful track.

JULA always knew she wanted to be a musician, from the age of four she was singing and dancing to Madonna, making her own shows in her bedroom and performing for her family. She went on to study jazz vocals and cites her jazz studies as an influencing factor in her sound.

‘Leave’ is her debut single and she talks of the idea around the track: “I remember when I first had the idea for this song; I was at home with my loop station just improvising, making soundscapes. It was a cold day and as I sat there, this song just came to me. It’s about a feeling I sometimes have, a weight that I carry with me. A feeling that overwhelms me, which I can not escape. I wallow in it for a while, cover myself in it and then, all of a sudden, it’s gone. It’s a very lonely feeling, very dark, but it’s not necessarily negative, it’s a part of me I have learned to accept and even appreciate sometimes; without the low, I can’t experience the high. That is what ‘Leave’ is about.”

The video is well conceptualised and sees a heavily made-up JULA against a stark desert background. Watch below:

UK band ‘unperfect’ release colourful single and video in one go

Four-piece UK band, unperfect release new single ‘I’m A Dreamer’ today, alongside an adorable official video via Xenomania. This follows their debut EP ‘Yeah, Why Not’ released earlier this year.

The feel-good, uplifting record arrives in perfect time for the upcoming summer season as this glimmering pop hard-hitter encapsulates a positive, inspirational story into an up-tempo earworm. The vibrancy of the track bursts into a crescendo of a chorus, which exudes an infectious confidence.

“The lyrics of the song came from our experiences of sometimes second-guessing ourselves, or having other people second-guess us. We are only human, it’s natural to worry that things might not work out or feel deflated when other people dont have the same vision we do. But the overall message of the song is about being confident enough to push through it and keep believing in ourselves.” – unperfect on their latest single.

unperfect are collaborating with Robinsons Fruit Shoot on the single campaign, which is their debut brand partnership. Both unperfect and Fruit Shoot share the same ethos of championing the rising generations, fuelling their adventures, encouraging them to step outside of their comfort zone and daring them to dream big. The release of the single marks the launch of Fruit Shoot’s epic summer on-pack promotion, which gives children, whatever interests or hobbies they are into, the chance to win their dream version of it.

The video is adorable, with a child director directing the “shoot” and bold colours that sing of summer.

ROKKY shares dizzying sensual video for new track ‘deux’

Roots in Iceland, raised in England, and a resident of France and Germany, ROKKY distills the very best of European pop and club culture. Written in France and a song about submission, ‘deux’ combines ROKKY’s signature tough dance beats with a sensual French lyric, its dizzying sensual video is online now.

“If you want something done right, do it yourself.”

If ROKKY has a mantra, this is it.

“I know what I like and I work hard to create the sounds and beats I love,” says this self-taught musician, producer and nomad currently living in Berlin.

ROKKY’s calm, composed exterior belies a driven individual who thrives on challenges. In her teens, she moved to her parents native Iceland, immersing herself in the local music scene.

When she discovered Garageband, at age twelve, making her own music became a reality and she discovered that she could realise the beats and sounds she had in her head. She decided to enroll in a sound engineering course – undeterred at being the only female in the class – and threw herself into her newfound passion.

ROKKY spent the rest of her early childhood in Oxford and moved to Berlin in 2013. “Moving to Berlin and going out definitely opened my eyes to a whole new world of techno, dance music and DJs. It’s helped me get deeper into that world. The city has such a freedom to it, it’s allowed me the confidence to make the music I truly love.” she says.

Meeting Sofi Tukker at their show in Berlin in 2016 “changed everything for me” says ROKKY. Dancing by the stage, singing every word, ROKKY caught Sophie’s eye and she jumped off stage to dance with her. After the show, ROKKY leaped at the opportunity to show the Grammy nominated Dance duo around her city. A night at Berghain with the band ended with a promise to stay in touch, and shortly after ROKKY sent them her music. Sophie and Tucker were so impressed they gave her feedback and started collaborating – “I was in complete shock, I couldn’t believe someone else would believe in my songs as much as they did.”

Being a natural linguist – she speaks six languages – allowed for spontaneous moves to France and Germany and its clear that stints in both countries have played their part in her sound. Her love of French electronic music and pop and her embracing of Berlin’s club and techno scene are evident on her new single ‘deux’ released on +1 Records on May 8th, 2019. Written in France and a song about submission, ‘deux’ combines ROKKY’s signature tough dance beats with a sensual French lyric- – “it’s great synth wave sound and a vocal that is so raw and relaxed.”
