Emerging Irish artist Julia-Maria is set to release her new single, “Bruised,” on July 26, 2024. This highly anticipated track is the third single from her upcoming EP, The Skin I’m In, following the successful release of “Birthday Parade” and “When We’re Dust.” Both tracks have been warmly received by the Irish press and enjoyed extensive radio play on stations such as RTE Radio 1 and 2FM.
“Bruised” delves into the profound moment when one realises that falling in love is worth the risk of getting hurt. Julia-Maria’s poignant lyrics and evocative melodies capture the essence of vulnerability, emphasising the value of deep connections and the joy of meaningful relationships, even in the face of potential heartbreak.
In addition to her solo career, Julia-Maria brings a rich array of experiences to her music as a session cellist, performing with notable artists such as Pa Sheehy, Flo Perlin, and Amahla. Her diverse background also includes a Masters in commercial songwriting from Tileyard London, completed last year. This academic and professional journey has deeply influenced the creation of The Skin I’m In, infusing her work with fresh perspectives and reflections on her experiences of moving away from Ireland and coming home.
Julia-Maria’s previous releases have resonated with listeners and critics alike. “Birthday Parade” and “When We’re Dust” have been praised for their introspective lyrics and captivating soundscapes, drawing comparisons to artists like Lizzie McAlpine and Phoebe Bridgers (IMRO).
With “Bruised,” Julia-Maria continues to showcase her unique blend of folk-inspired vocals and rich instrumental arrangements. As anticipation builds for The Skin I’m In, “Bruised” offers a glimpse into the emotional depth and artistry that define Julia-Maria’s music.
