With her first solo release
since her acclaimed 2010 album
Modern
Fables, Julia
Deans is delighted to announce her brand-new single
Walking in the Sun -
available October 13th!
Julia Deanscontinues to surprise and enchant with her wonderfully versatile voice in
Walking in the Sun,
a track full of sharp observations about generational roles and behaviours that
serve only to restrict people, and especially women. Written from a place of
frustration at these stifling traditions, Julia has penned a social commentary
in the track - a challenge to reassess how we treat each other.
“The song is really saying, ‘Think of all the amazing things we could be doing
if we stopped holding each other down’. It’s mind-boggling that the
world seems to be going so far backwards at the moment.”
Having gathered many fans with her heartfelt songs over the past 25 years,
Julia has captivated everyone with her transition from iconic rock chick as
front-person for the beloved
Fur Patrol (who have just begun
to release their catalogue digitally for a new generation of fans to
discover) to glorious songbird.
She is a commanding and impressive solo artist, having earned herself a Taite
Prize nomination for her first solo album
Modern
Fables, and an APRA Silver Scroll finalist spot for the
single,
A New
Dialogue, alongside glowing reviews. Since then, Julia has kept
herself busy in a variety of musical projects – working with the likes of the
Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, The Adults, Tiki Taane, and SJD, as well as
performing in
Jesus
Christ Superstar, Play On, and a variety of art festival shows
paying tribute to the likes of Jacques Brel, Joni Mitchell, and Billie Holiday.
Walking in the Sun will be released on October 13
th and
is the first single from Julia
Dean’s exciting sophomore album We Light Fire. More
details to come.
