Estella Dawn Explores Vulnerability and Dangerous Love in the Haunting Single 'Julian'
Estella Dawn's latest single “Julian” layers unearthed truths within a slow-burning narrative. Her vocal tone, so raw and vulnerable, meanders through the track like a mist, seamlessly intertwining itself between the delicate yet powerful instrumentation. The song perfectly conveys the unease of a dangerous love: as though released on an invitation that creates danger. As a lyricist, she cuts through the noise to paint journey-like murals of doubt and longing that read like whispered secrets on a dark road up the mountain.
And the hook, “I wanna take pictures of us, But I’m scared that you’ll see me in color,” sounds like it would resonate with anyone who wants to be seen yet is terrified by being merely exposed. With woozy melodies set against an alt-pop pulsing beat and production, "Julian" is a track that shifts and melts, weaving in and out like the dance between two people making a human connection. More than anything, “Julian” is about being separate from someone you long to be near. It doesn’t leave your mind long after it ends and makes you question what emotional landscapes mean to you.
