Julianna Joy – “The Year I Lived as You”

Julianna Joy’s latest single, “The Year I Lived as You”, is impressive and easy to follow. What started as an unstructured poem has evolved into an electrifying dark pop track that stands out in today’s music scene. After checking the rising artist’s Spotify page, it’s safe to say I’m a new fan and will share her next releases with you.

The song highlights Julianna Joy‘s knack for vulnerable, straight-to-the-heart lyrics paired with production elements reminiscent of The 1975, particularly that electric guitar riff in the chorus that just won’t quit, when you hear it for the first time, you will feel that you have transported to the artist’s world. The contrast between raw emotional content and polished production creates something that feels both fresh and familiar.

It’s amazing to see Joy’s evolution from her 2020 “Cherries” EP (which racked up over 6 million streams) to this more mature sound. Working with industry heavyweights like Teddy Geiger has clearly influenced her sonic palette in the best possible way.
