Julia Raye Releases New Single, “Give You Up”, Exploring Toxic Love and Complicated Romance


On our latest dive into the world of rising stars and indie pop music, we are checking out “Give You Up”, the latest single from Julia Raye. Julia Raye, a 23-year-old performer from Long Island, New York, has been immersed in the arts from a young age, with a background in dance, singing, and over twenty musical theatre productions by age 17. Her vocal talent led her to perform with the New York All State Choir and ACDA All National Choir before studying vocal performance at the University of Michigan under George Shirley, the first African-American to perform at the Metropolitan Opera.

While classically trained, Julia’s musical influences extend to pop and R&B, drawing inspiration from artists like Beyoncé and Ariana Grande. In her own work, she fuses operatic vocals with catchy pop melodies and personal storytelling, creating a sound that is uniquely hers—an intriguing blend of classical and contemporary elements.

Rising pop artist Julia Raye has just released her latest single, “Give You Up,” a track that delves into the complexities of attraction to the wrong kind of guy. In this song, Julia candidly explores the allure of someone who is clearly bad news, yet impossible to resist. She describes it as a track where “you can really hear the range of emotions play out in real time,” capturing a mix of confidence, sass, fun, and honesty.

Produced by Bret “Epic” Mazur, known for his work with Crazy Town, Prince, and the Black Eyed Peas, “Give You Up” is a swaggering pop anthem designed for the radio. The song not only highlights Julia’s impressive vocal range but also continues her streak of creating memorable, emotionally resonant pop music. This single follows her earlier release, “Expectations,” an R&B-pop track that garnered attention from outlets like Sweety High and Stage Right Secrets, further cementing Julia’s place as a compelling new voice in pop music.
