Produced by Feranmi Oguns (Jake Isaac, Josh Record) and Bastian Testori from OL Music, Old Friend is the follow up to the Lotusbloom EP (2014) and a new direction musically, with city-life soundscapes and gritty electronic sounds underpinning Jules’ soulful vocals in a beautifully crafted, emotive pop song.

“I wanted to make music that reflected the sounds of the city I live in, and its pressures. When I was writing for the album, I felt such pressure around me; travelling at a million miles an hour but feeling like I was getting nowhere, concerned by how much sway ‘success’ had on my self worth. So I left London to see one of my oldest friends in Manchester and I felt centred again; I remembered who I was meant to be.”

Exploring themes of mental health, self worth, perfectionism and imagination, the anticipated IMAGINE album is set for release in March 2018.
