Taste Test: Julian Lamadrid doesn’t want you to ‘Die Young’
The synth-pop newcomer blends ’80s style with a twisted lyric on a new song.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
The magic of someone’s life lingers on the fabric of time as stardust. We’re trapped between who we were and who we were supposed to be. Some of us may never know what that means. Amy Winehouse. Janis Joplin. Kurt Cobain. Candles snuffed out completely. Journeying through his own cosmic blanket, synth-pop newcomer Julian Lamadrid feels his heartbeat pick up speed and throb mercilessly in his throat. “Die Young” destroys the senses, as Lamadrid’s metallic distortion rips through your eardrums right into the membrane. The anger frosts his vocal cords until he absolutely busts as the seams. “I think you wanna die young,” he spits through clenched teeth. It’s the kind of razor sharp lyric that is altogether moving and drop kicks you squarely in the chest. And Lamadrid is both imposing and charming.
“Die Young” is the latest in a string of singles, following “Neon” from just last month.
