Inner Monologue Part 1

Julia Michaels

Six tracks of hyper-intimate whisper-pop. Clinical anxiety and romantic longing delivered through dry, close-mic vocals and minimalist rhythmic beds.

It's like reading her diary while she's sitting right next to you, breathing a little too fast.

A claustrophobic yet comforting exploration of internal noise and romantic vulnerability.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The conversational overlap between Julia and Selena Gomez on 'Anxiety' that mimics a shared panic attack.
The sudden, dry acoustic guitar pluck that anchors the otherwise ethereal 'Apple'.
The way the vocal harmonies swell and then abruptly vanish on the final chorus of 'What a Time'.
