Julia Kate is back in glorious and bold fashion. If August’s ‘Angel’ was an expressive, evocative ballad steeped in vulnerability and honesty, follow-up effort ‘be nice princess’ scrambles the sonic picture in a positive, playful way, bringing back Kate’s fierce persona. We appreciate it: Julia is certainly at her best in loud and wholesome territories. Never quite descending into euphoria, ‘be nice princess’ sees the project embracing a sharp indie-pop livery with a certain fuzziness, perfectly uniting purposeful lyricism and expansive aural charge.
Embracing a heightened amount of independence and resilience, the single seeks to empower listeners to remain authentic, making themselves heard and establishing healthy boundaries. Written by Kate with collaborator Nick Rosen, ‘be nice princess’ marks another successful release for the Los Angeles-based creative. Delving deeper into the song, she explains: “This one felt fun and freeing to make. It’s a little tongue-in-cheek, but it’s also about finding peace with the version of yourself that people expected you to be.”
The record ships with a stunning music video shot by Kate’s sister, Ella. The visuals envision a whimsical, hazy version of ‘Alice in Wonderland’, further establishing Julia’s dreamy artistic universe. So far, folks seem to be connecting to the project; it won’t be long till we find Julia Kate on bigger stages…
