When I met Julia Michaels last month before she took the stage to her headline show at London’s O2 Academy Shepard’s Bush Empire I had no idea what to expect. From someone that has already had quite a career as a successful songwriter, who decided back in 2017 to step into another avenue of her career releasing her debut single, I knew we would have a lot to cover. Speaking to Julia after already having had 3 releases under her belt and in the middle of her first worldwide headline tour The Inner Monologue Tour I was very excited to talk all things music, her songwriting career, being honest in her music and everything in between.

Generally, I try to resist using terms like ‘voice of a generation’. The cliche, arbitrary and the overdone nature of the phrase gives you a pretentious, grandiose tone making the sentiment more about your egotism than appraisal. But Slowthai has truly captured a voice and attitude concurrent with the modern day youth of Britain, an attitude of frustration, anger, and apathy; stupified by the lies and distrust of politicians whilst it seems some apocalypse is just about to crawl over the horizon.
