Julia Othmer’s “Purple and Gray” is a sultry, deliberate track that links together Adele with the mid-1990s alternative scene. Introspective guitars, punctual drums, and a haunting chorus-infused echo ensures that Purple and Gray stands out from the crowd.
A bouncier, more upbeat tempo is presented to listeners for “Bring Peace for Christmas”. This time, Othmer’s vocals take hints of Sheryl Crow, Pink and Mariah Carey and places them alongside a timeless instrumentation. The middle point of the single puts the focus on sleigh bells, after which a bit of sizzling guitar keeps the momentum high as fans make it into the last few moments of the song.
We previously covered Julia’s Hungry Days (Make Me Feel) back in 2017.
