Los Angeles pop artist Julian Sometimes’ is stunningly polished yet deeply human debut album Outside Man, a collection rooted in genre-bending sonics and emotive themes.
Spanning synths, R&B, and 80s nostalgia, the project opens with the feel-good pop stylings of vibrant debut offering “Buzz,” where his soulful bluesy vocals evoke a timelessness beneath the sleek instrumentals. While the rich “Buzz,” infuses a sense of brightness, the title track swerves into an unflinchingly vulnerable exploration of living just outside the box as you move through life.
Next, his reimagined version of classic “Always Something There to Remind Me,” is a palette cleanser that gives us pause before pulling us into a textured and intoxication dive into all-consuming love on “Chemical Release.”
The rawness and personal touches of “Chemical Release,” carries effortlessly into shimmering closing track “Working On Our Love,” an unguarded offering that allows his voice to soar and shine before blossoming into a heartfelt crescendo.
An intimate collection that leads us into the nooks of Julian heart and mind, his debut EP is one framed by confidence, gravitas and finesse as he makes his way to establishing a solid artistry that is completely his own.
