Dearest gentle readers and music lovers, let’s welcome English band The Julie July Band. The Julie July Band combines the golden age of British folk-rock with a fresh, modern twist. Fronted by Julie July’s crystal-clear, expressive vocals, the band boasts a line-up of incredibly gifted musicians whose interplay of acoustic and electronic textures is enhanced by rich, five-part harmonies. On 2nd October, they released a song titled “Seven Cities of Gold”. Let me tell you more about the song.
The song opens with a very bright, peppy, bright and lively melody. This intro is very captivating, and it will lock you in, ready to hear the rest of the song.
Let’s talk theme. The song talks about a group of people who yearn for fortune and riches in their travels. It also mentions that their inner passions of seeking what doesn’t belong to them will pay off. It is nice to see the thought process and the inner battle these people had before pillaging innocent people.
Inspired by the spirit of classic British folk-rock but with a modern edge, the track channels influences from Sandy Denny, Dire Straits, and Fleetwood Mac, while carving its own distinctive path.
