Clouds Of Grief

Description

Julie Kuhl, born in 2005 in Châtillon-sur-Seine in France, is a young singer-songwriter from Frankfurt a.M who has been making a name for herself over the past two years. Julie started singing in choirs, learning instruments (guitar, piano, viola) and writing her first songs when she was just a little girl. At the age of 15, her first single was released, followed shortly after by her debut album ‘flowers & candles’. In 2022 – at the age of 17 – Julie's second album ‘Born With Nostalgic Bones’ was released on the Frankfurt jazz label ‘Jazz Montez Records’. Chris Douridas, music director of the Californian radio station KCRW, is already one of her fans. After countless performances in Frankfurt, some on big stages (such as the opening ceremony of the European Championships in Frankfurt or the Holidays Festival), and some in small venues, she is now collaborating with the Cologne-based musician Gianni Brezzo (Marvin Horsch), who has produced 5 songs with her in the style of Genevieve Stokes, Arlo Parks & Clairo. The indie pop anthem DAMAGE expresses the pain of youth and its dark challenges from her own perspective, with powerful piano production allowing Julie's classically trained vocals to shine. Julie: ‘It's about someone you want to break away from and the conflict within yourself, because you still have a lot of love for the person but at the same time know that they are not good for you. A present topic is also the desperation about the fact that the person shows no insight and is not at all aware of their actions." The EP CLOUDS OF GRIEF will be released on 01.11.2024 on the “Jakarta Records” sublabel “ASMARA RECORDS” (Woman & XulZolar). In Japan, the EP will be released on P-Vine Records. Brain Marrow is handling PR (including radio) in the UK, while Achim Launert is supplying radio stations in German-speaking countries. The release will be accompanied by a digital marketing campaign (conversion) on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/julie__kuhl/ Tracklist 1. Clouds of grief 2. Floating 3. Purple Eyelids 4.
