Having grown up on a steady diet of Johnny Cash, The Doors, and The Rolling Stones, Russian-born singer/songwriter Juliana Strangelove embodies the timeless spirit of rock ‘n roll on her brand new single ‘Dead Poets’. A melodic rock ballad with a psychedelic, Robby Kriege-esque acoustic guitar, it’s Juliana’s distinctive contralto vocals that steal the show for me! Dark, intriguing, and powerful, the deeply personal tune reflects the musician’s journey of seeking refuge from the unforgiving realities of the world. Finding comfort in literature and music, the song deals with the constant struggle between the desire to be present in the world and the irresistible urge to retreat.
The artist and her guitarist escaped the war and are now based in Batumi, Georgia. “Playing guitar all day and making new songs, we’ve been furiously thinking of how to make a fresh start in a world where some people seem ready to turn you down just because you’re Russian,” she says.
‘Dead Poets’ is an absolute stunner of a track! It’s a musical masterpiece that showcases Juliana’s genuine authenticity and artistic resilience. Reminding us all of the universal power of music, I can’t wait to discover more of this gifted musician!
