Estella Dawn, the dynamic indie-alt-pop artist hailing from New Zealand and now thriving in San Diego, has unveiled her 7th release of 2024, “Julian.” Known for her soul-stirring lyrics and versatile sound, Estella once again delivers a deeply resonant track that tackles the complexities of love, vulnerability, and self-awareness.
With “Julian,” Estella explores the raw emotional terrain of relationships. The song captures that precarious balance between longing for connection and the fear of being truly seen, with lyrics like, “I wanna take pictures of us, but I’m scared that you’ll see me in focus.” The imagery of a moody mountain drive serves as the perfect metaphor for the introspection and tension woven throughout the song.
Musically, “Julian” layers Estella’s haunting vocals over a blend of atmospheric production and subtle yet poignant instrumentation. It’s a quintessential example of her signature style—fusing heartfelt storytelling with modern indie-pop elements.
Reflecting on the song, Estella shares, “‘Julian’ is about those moments of doubt and introspection in a relationship—the push and pull between wanting to be close to someone but also fearing the vulnerability that comes with it.”
