Julia Golden Releases Soul-Searching New Track "Talking to Heaven"
Julia Golden released her new single "Talking to Heaven" on December 14, 2024, marking her third official release. The song, described as her most personal to date, showcases Golden's growth as a songwriter and her ability to tackle profound themes.
Golden, a 17-year-old singer-songwriter from rural North Carolina, has been making waves in the country music scene since her debut. Her musical journey began at a young age, influenced by her parents' background in radio and her exposure to a wide range of musical genres. Golden's early influences span from country icons like Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, and Miranda Lambert to 70s Americana rock artists like Stevie Nicks.
"Talking to Heaven" is a deeply introspective track that explores themes of faith, doubt, and personal struggle. The song's lyrics, penned by Golden herself, include poignant lines such as "I know if Jesus looked upon me / He'd ask me child why do you cry / Haven't I given all my blessings / And his word to heart be hard." The track features Golden's emotive vocals accompanied by a blend of acoustic and electric guitars, fiddle, and keys, creating a rich, country-influenced sound.
Earlier in 2024, Golden released her debut single "Cupid," which gained attention on independent artist platforms and was featured on curated playlists showcasing emerging female artists. She followed this with sophomore single, "A Story Like Ours," which to date has close to 30K streams on Spotify alone.
Golden is currently working on an EP or album, slated for release in late 2024 or early 2025. As part of this project, she recorded a special track titled "I Think About You," written when she was 14, which she plans to release on YouTube and SoundCloud as a personal milestone to mark her 18th birthday.
As Golden continues to develop her artistry, she aims to incorporate more of her diverse influences, particularly the 70s Americana rock sound that initially inspired her to create music. Her commitment to authenticity and honesty in her music promises an exciting future for this young artist in the country music landscape.
