Central Bucks East Singer-Songwriter To Release Latest Single

JAMISON, PA — Singer, songwriter Julia Velez, a student at Central Bucks East High School, will release her latest single, "This Feels Raw," on Friday, Oct. 27 beginning at 12 p.m. on all music streaming and download services.

The announcement was made by Jamison-based Raw Beatz, LLC.

The new single, according to Raw Beatz, "embodies a vibrant, rocking melody with haunting lyrics that will catch the listener’s ear, mind and soul. This upbeat, more lighthearted track on the upcoming EP is about that person who is so caught up in how they are perceived and what others think, that they live and act like someone is always watching. The lyrics explain the struggle of trying to maintain a strained relationship with this person despite their foolish pride."

The new single is the latest for Velez, a multi-talented, 16-year-old artist who composes her own lyrics and music, as well as the arrangement and orchestration, and co-produced the recording with her technical producer, Rory Miller.

Velez plays acoustic and electric guitar, keyboards and sings with the voice of a much older soul. She has already released three singles including “The Original Barbie,” “Superficial,” and “No Sincerity” (also available on all platforms), in the past year to significant notice and acclaim.

Julia and her production team are putting the finishing touches on her much anticipated ‘EP’ (Extended Play) entitled “Old Hollywood” with an anticipated release date of Nov. 17.

The LP will include six original compositions, each with its own individual genre, melding together to display the depth of artistry and talent emanating from this young musician. The tracks include “This Feels Raw,” “Past Lives,” “Billabong,” “Nostalgic,” “Mind Your Mouth” and the title track, “Old Hollywood.”
