Advocate and perceptive creative, JULITH, is ignoring outdated standards and breaking away from the cookie-cutter sound of many of today’s top hits. Her latest single, “Right From Left,” is a unique combination of pop, indie, and electronic music with unpredictable yet invigorating production.
“Right From Left” is her second official release under JULITH, while previous tracks were published under her given name, Julia Pratt. She creates under the premise of making music that she herself would want to listen to, a distinction that makes her songs genuine and authentic. JULITH writes her songs from the heart, drawing from struggles with mental health and intimate partner violence—things she also advocates for victims of through non-profits.
The dreamy, soft vocals in “Right From Left” are reminiscent of Billie Eilish or Lorde, but with more of an electronic twist behind them. The song may start off quieter but explodes from pent-up anger once it reaches the chorus. JULITH sings, “Tell me not to go; you don’t even know why,” in response to people trying to influence her decisions with no justification.
At the end of the song, JULITH goes off on a rant that is pretty relatable (especially the laugh) considering the current state of the world and the seemingly never-ending chaos. The way the audio switches from the right to left speakers is a nice touch as well, as it gives you the image of her pacing back and forth in frustration. She sounds off about how there are no paint lines on the roads in her neighborhood, so the parking situation is just a messy free-for-all, causing her to never be able to find a spot and to get parking tickets from the Philadelphia Parking Authority. When everything else in the world and in your life is going wrong, it’s truly the smaller things that send you over the edge.
“Right From Left” is one of seven songs on JULITH’s upcoming EP, “This Is A Kindness,” which is set for release on April 10. It joins the prior single, “Cut From the Sequel,” which was revealed alongside the announcement of her artistic rebrand in February.
