Juliana Madrid's latest EP, "Lifetime," invites you into a world of raw emotion and reflective storytelling. A four-track emotional rollercoaster ride of heartache, nostalgia, and self-discovery, Lifetime serves as a testament to Juliana's signature style of intricately woven songwriting, warm harmonies, and an ironclad knack for distilling modern angst.
Forced to grimace and laugh through a summer that seems never-ending and too short, "Lifetime" is the ideal audio background for anyone who sees beauty in sadness. With sun-drenched melodies that wrap around introspective lyrics, Juliana Madrid creates a sonic vibe where vulnerability mingles with inescapable earworms.
"Lifetime" is everything we've come to love about Juliana. It features infectious melodies told with gut-wrenching candor, like "Let Go" and "Pretend," the collection's highlights. "Let Go" unveils a bittersweet send-off, heavy with airy vocals and plaintive guitar work, and "Pretend" forms an intimate, dreamlike space that tugs at the heartstrings, collapsing the distance between reality and fantasy.
At just over 13 minutes, "Lifetime" moves swiftly, creating an immediate impact. Each track feels like a chapter in a uniquely emotional book club of experiences, providing comfort and catharsis to those who dare to wade through it. Juliana Madrid's latest project further cements her as an inviting voice in indie pop and one that will not shy from telling you the messy, poetic contradictions of living.
