Alex Julia just landed on my radar with her new album “Making Friends With My Demons”. It’s one of the best albums I’ve covered this year. I’ve enjoyed the sounds and quality of her music. With its 12 tracks, this is a deep and personal record with so much weight behind it. The melodies, lyrics and sound design kept me interested from start to end and the production gives the songs so much room to speak.
“Created A Monster” is a powerful track with strong vocals, thoughtful writing and melodies that stay with you. I liked the production and the unique atmosphere. “Next Of Kin” takes a more personal approach. Alex’s smooth delivery works well with its strong chorus and the arrangement builds step by step. The instrumentation gets more forceful as the song moves along and the production holds everything together. Honestly, it’s an amazing listen.
“54321” is the third track I kept going back to during the week. The drum work caught my attention straight away and Alex’s haunting vocals carry so much energy. The mix is polished, the sounds are well put together and the production gives the track character.
There is a lot to take in this album, but these three songs were the ones I found myself replaying most. Alex has a strong voice and her writing is deeply personal. You can hear the passion she puts into this music and the energy behind the performances is impressive. I enjoyed this album from start to end and I’m happy I spent time with it.
