Juliana “Jules” Madrid is a 23-year-old Texas-born, NYC-dwelling artist. Not too long ago, she released her captivating “Lifetime” EP. In celebration of the project, she released the song and video for her new single “Give Me Evil.”

“‘Give Me Evil’ is about wanting more passion in your relationships, to the point of it being really unhealthy. Because I am so desperate for it to work out, I’m willing to receive any reaction that’s more than indifference.” – Juliana Madrid explained
“Give Me Evil” follows last month’s release of the mesmerizing “Heathen” single.

“‘Heathen’ is about messy love. When one person in a relationship is relying on the other as a savior summarized in the lyric ‘counting on our love to be canonized.’” – Juliana Madrid stated

“Not In My Lifetime,” released earlier this year, was the first taste of the EP, co-written with Clairo, Justin Young (The Vaccines), as well as Benjamin Ruttner (The Knocks), and James Flannigan, who also co-produced the track, and was followed by “Just Enough,” a collaboration with fellow Neon Gold artist Joe P.

Juliana Madrid combines elements of folk, alternative, and Pop to write sardonic, coming-of-age tales that are relatable yet uniquely her. She started in music at the young age of 9, learning guitar at the encouragement of her parents. Soon after, she enrolled in a local program called School of Rock. There, she began to find her voice while realizing she also had a knack for songwriting, using music as a creative outlet to express herself. Since then, Juliana and her guitar [which she named “Earl”] have been inseparable, working tirelessly to refine her craft.

Juliana Madrid – “Lifetime” EP
“The ‘Lifetime’ EP is representative of these tiny snapshots of my life so far. The theme and connecting dots between each song is how hard it is to let something go that you’ve put your all into. Whether it’s a relationship, a friend, or your career. The track ‘Not in My Lifetime’ is me accepting the fact that I can’t hold on to it all, and that’s okay.” – Juliana Madrid explained
The EP was written across three days in upstate New York last fall, at an artist retreat amongst many of Madrid’s songwriting heroes, organized by Mumford & Sons’ Ben Lovett and Neon Gold’s Derek Davies.
