Juliette Louise is a classically trained singer, songwriter and performer from North West London and now based in New York converges her rich musical background with Jamie Thomson, a skilled producer-songwriter based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Their union in the creation of the new track, “Alive,” has resulted in a creative synergy that emerges when diverse talents intertwine.
Juliette Louise’s musical journey stems from a classical foundation, having played the violin with the London Suzuki Group in her youth and danced in the rave era. Her exploration of all things bass during that time, along with her upbringing in a household with a classical pianist, has shaped her into a versatile artist. She not only excels as a topline writer but also DJs, occasionally revisiting her classical roots by picking up the violin.
On the other side of this collaboration stands Jamie Thomson, a producer-songwriter rooted in Edinburgh’s music scene. His expertise spans the dance and electronic pop spheres and he collaborates with various artists and record labels. His talents extend to both the electronic world, with releases on esteemed labels like MF Records and Maniana Records, and the alternative indie scene, where he serves as the main songwriter and bass player for post punk outfit Alba Fury.
Now the two artists link up to collaborate on the new track titled “Alive,” a powerful drum and bass outing. Drawing on the sonic flair of both Juliette as a vocalist and Jamie as a producer, their individual talents shine while their sonic chemistry results in a spectacular pop focused dance cut.
Opened by airy synth tones and soft piano chords, Juliette’s vocals gently glide in, fluttering delicately to craft an elegant intro as the subtle taps of hi hats and filtered in drums builds the anticipation. Erupting with a storming energy, driving bass synths ride above the punching drum and bass beat as Juliette threads soaring lead melodies above. It’s an energising and instantly memorable sound that ebbs and flows through an epic modern electronic scene.
Notably, the collaborative process reflects the global nature of contemporary music production. Juliette Louise recorded her vocals in her home studio in New York, while Jamie Thomson handled the production in his studio in Edinburgh. The touch of engineer Philip Marsden, who initially introduced the two artists, completes the sonic journey by mastering the song.
