Official Press Release:
JULIA CHURCH
‘Square 1’
Julia Church shares her debut single ‘Square 1’. South African born singer/songwriter Julia Church is pioneering her own sound, drawing from a range of musical influences as she establishes a reputation for innovative exploration in her craft.
Church’s first ever offering is a down-tempo, brooding pop cut, which she uses to evoke powerful imagery with her vivid songwriting right from the first line. She co-produced it with Matt Newman, bringing to life the effervescent sound complimented by Church’s beautifully arranged harmonies and her overall thoughtful yet expressive vocal performance.
Speaking on the track Julia states “Square 1 is my nostalgic anecdote of my young teenage years and falling in love for the first time. Now, as a twenty-something trying to navigate my life from a seemingly new perspective, it’s also the realisation that I haven’t really grown up at all.”
Talented as both a songwriter and a producer, Julia recently graduated from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts where she worked on a one-on-one songwriting session with Sir Paul McCartney. Growing up with her family in Durban, Julia was raised on Nora Jones and Joni Mitchell while later idolising the likes of James Vincent McMorrow and Jamie Woon both for their musical capabilities as well as their production.
Julia’s introduction to the industry saw her feature on a number of international dance hits which garnered millions of plays at the age of 17 while performing on global stages. Charting twice on the South African Radio Charts, at number 2 (“Something New” – Crazy White Boy ft. Julia Church) and number 6 (“Heart Shaped Box” – Goldfish ft. Julia Church). Julia’s cult following has seen her gain over 1.5million plays on just her Soundcloud covers. Whilst amassing over 50million streams writing for others, ready to now announce herself into the music scene on her own multi-talented accord.
Julia Church leads her music debut through a combination of raw soul and passion with the intricacy of true artistic innovation. Resulting in a sharp, original composition that embodies the potential she has as an artist with so much more to come.
