Brooklyn-based alt-indie pop artist JULESY shares new single ‘Blue Lie’ – the latest from her debut full-length album, Flip the Bed, out 17 October via Strong Place Music.
‘Blue Lie’ is a hazy indie bop that lingers in the space where the end of a relationship is just on the horizon.
“‘Blue Lie’ is maybe one of the oldest songs on this album. It came at the beginning of the end of a big relationship, before I realized it was ending. I was really self-critical and felt like I didn’t know who I was anymore. I was listening to a lot of Rocket-era Alex G and early Radiohead, and I think that grittiness came through in the song. What really brought it together was the outro — when we added that break with the drum machine. Since the lyrics are so honest and pretty sad, both Sahil and I wanted to contrast that with lighter, almost playful production. The ‘la la las’ and twangy guitar line in the chorus were our way of balancing the heaviness.”
