Julia Wolf Collaborates With Blackbear For Her New Single “Gothic Babe Tendencies”
Julia Wolf a Singer from New York has teamed up with Blackbear for her new single, Gothic Babe Tendencies. As usual, Julia Wolf always packs her songs and fascinates many of her listeners. But this time, he’s really calling his audience out of the loop with this single Gothic Babe Tendencies.
This stunning song has a pretty chill vibe despite the stinging lyrics, which undermines Julia Wolf’s own fear of loving someone. This has to do with how he couldn’t have a high school romance that set the standard for what he wanted out of a relationship, and more.
Meanwhile, the ‘metronome-esque’ rhythm brings to mind the fast heartbeats that always bother us when we’re with someone special, as well as the racing heart palpitations that occur when you worry about your future with them.
In her press release, Julia Wolf says, “Gothic Babe Tendencies talk about how I feel when I start to develop feelings for someone.”
“Finding someone you like is challenging—a rarity nowadays—so when it did, something inside of me told me it wasn’t going to last. It’s a gloomy mindset that thinks it’s too good to be true, so better run before you get hurt. There’s a part of me that, of course, wants to believe… that wants to surrender to the sun instead of run from it. I think many of us ‘gothic babes’ have this internal battle,” he continued.
