New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Having had a hugely successful career as a guest vocalist, both live and in the studio,
Julie Harrington has a wealth of experience and an effortlessly stunning vocal which has seen her appear on a number of hits. Now returning with her first ever solo material, coming via mental health charity and record label Key Changes,
Julie is opening up on her mental health experiences and how Key Changes has helped and how the whole experience has shaped her music.
London based
Julie Harrington has had a long and illustrious career as a songwriter and session vocalist. Following performances with the likes of Rick Astley, Sam Brown,
David Gilmore (Pink Floyd), Daryl Hall, Jools Holland,
Elton John and Boy
George as well as lending her signature entrancing vocal to a number of major producers across the spectrum of dance music, from
Tiesto to Activa to Miro,
Julie has an enormous reputation which is fully deserved when you listen to her new EP 'Passion Led Us Here'. A six track LP of sultry vocals and hypnotic production provided by Jasper Wilde (French Original), this is Julie's first solo endeavor.
Opening track 'Wake Up' perfectly sets the tone for the record with
Julie providing her trademark layered vocals calling for the world to sit up and take notice of the damage being done to the planet. Elsewhere on the record
Julie bravely reveals her own path to recovery on 'Chasing The High' where a fresh and modern beat interludes accompany Julie's ethereal vocal making for a timelessly melodic pop record that along with the rest of the album, simultaneously stands alone as a strong single whilst fitting perfectly into the narrative of the overall release.
Julie Harrington's Mental Health Story:
Despite having such an amazing career, Julie's mental health story shines a light on how sometimes performers can keep their feelings and anxieties hidden when they're under the spotlight.
Defining herself as actually quite a shy person,
Julie came to Key Changes suffering with Anxiety and Depression. Despite being such a hugely talented and entrancing performer,
Julie found that in everyday situations such as going out with friends, caused her to become uncontrollably anxious and agoraphobic.
'When I've been broken, music saved me every time.' -
Julie Harington
Key Changes helped
Julie by not only offering therapy but by allowing her to concentrate on herself and work on her own music after years of performing on other people's work, something which
Julie said was so helpful in her healing process. Allowing her creativity to flow helped
Julie rediscover her self confidence and she is now launching her debut EP!
