Rising Filipina R&B singer/songwriter and producer Denise Julia announces the details of her forthcoming LOVE AGAIN EP. Across 6 tracks she will deliver smooth and sensual R&B/Soul music equipped with airy vocals and layered harmonies. LOVE AGAIN will be available for streaming on July 23, and today Denise shares the title track “LOVE AGAIN” out now via 2nd Floor Entertainment/EMPIRE.
“LOVE AGAIN” follows early singles “2GOOD4U” and “Changes” that garnered praise from Billboard and Billboard Philippines, VIBE, Okayplayer, Sweety High, and more. On the new single, she says: “how does it feel to love again?” was written as both a question and a confession. It’s asking someone how it feels to open themselves up to love again, but it’s also me questioning it myself. Sometimes lust can feel so close to love that you start wondering where the line even is. The song lives in that gray area between desire and intimacy, vs. vulnerability and the fear of truly feeling again”.
Earlier this year, Denise Julia announced two key new partnerships. The first with indie label powerhouse, EMPIRE, and the second with touring giant United Talent Agency. These underscore a commitment to further develop her as a global artist, with a desire to provide more infrastructure needed to reach maximum global success.
