In this powerful and heartfelt ballad, Julia's new single "Fake it" brings an exciting twist to such a somber lyrical anthem. Her narrative follows the perspective of an ex-relationship and how sometimes the facade cracks in the layered emotions of the past.

"Fake It" is lyrically straight out of the pages of a young woman's journal, earning a spot on a song to add to your feels playlist.
Julia's haunting vocals harmonize with the overall vibes of the song. Mixed with slower, somber beginnings and a catchy beat to amass full force emotion, Julia's voice blends flawlessly between the two. Without misplacing or skipping a beat, the music actively engages with the narrative, immersing the listener to embrace the underlying truth of the fake act fully. Each line in the song feels like it was written with real feelings behind it, showing both sadness and frustration. The music matches these emotions really well, going back and forth between calm and intense. It’s the kind of song that sticks with you after it’s over, making you think about the message and how it feels to pretend everything’s okay when it’s not.
Writing her first songs at 10 years old, Julia DeTomaso has a long love and passion for music and songwriting. With many performances under her belt, this rising indie star is an artist to keep on your radar. Julia has collaborated on songs that have gained traction and millions of streams. After taking a hiatus from releasing music of her own, Julia could not have debuted her return with a better song. With a clear and promising future in the indie-pop scene, Julia's writing and artistic abilities have the potential to take her far.
