The track is from the artist’s excellent new album i want to live forever when i die.
On her powerful and instantly captivating new single ‘i hate how i love u’ rising Swiss artist Julia Alexa lays out a narrative about a faltering relationship and a deteriorating psyche, providing one of the most intimate and vulnerable releases of recent times that feels as immersive and haunting as it does heart-breaking.
The track melds dark, low-key production with the artist’s soft and emotionally charged vocals to devastating effect, creating a kind of rawness and starkness to the sound that feels harrowingly real, providing a narrative of pain and hardship with even more gravity and reverence. There is an atmospheric feel to the sound that grabs you from the second that it starts and never lets go, with the stripped-back sound allowing for the nuance and raw power of the narrative to be the show-stopping focus of the track.
