JULESY – “BLUE LIE”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE
Last month, Brooklyn-based alt-indie pop artist JULESY announced her debut full-length album, Flip the Bed, out October 17 via Strong Place Music. With sharp, evocative vocals and confessional songwriting, JULESY has drawn comparisons to Soccer Mommy and Snail Mail. She’s quickly emerging as a compelling new voice in NYC’s vibrant music scene, blending dreamy folk-pop textures with raw punk energy.
Today, she shares “Blue Lie,” the second single from the upcoming LP. On the surface, the track feels like a hazy indie-rock dream — but listen closely, and it reveals a piercing emotional undercurrent, grappling with the slow unraveling of a relationship. “Can’t you see I’m reeling from what I can’t swallow down.”
Raised in an intensely creative household — her father a film composer, her mother a voice teacher — JULESY grew up surrounded by instruments and self-expression. “I’m not really trying to write about my life,” she says. “I’m writing through it — as a way to make sense of what I can’t say any other way.”
With influences ranging from Imogen Heap and They Might Be Giants to Alex G, JULESY’s debut explores the emotional spaces many artists leave untouched. Flip the Bed promises to be a bold, genre-blurring introduction to a young artist unafraid to be fully in-process — messy, honest, and magnetic.
“Blue Lie” drops August 28th via Strong Place Music. Flip the Bed arrives October 17.
ARTIST QUOTE
“‘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.”
