According to northerntransmissions.com, Julia Jacklin has released “The Hardest Thing,”which is the latest single is off the Australian artist’s forthcoming album, The Gem, that will be available on September 25, through 4AD. The track is the follow up to previous releases, “I Wish” and “Get Away From Me (I Think I’ll Love You Soon)”. the amazing tune is accompanied by a one-shot official video directed by Danny Cohen and it was filmed entirely from a helicopter that was winding through the Melbourne city skyline.
As or the music, everything is wonderful by how the lovely instrumentation creates a beautiful musical vibe that compliments the artist’s stunning vocal melodies that describe what Jacklin is currently feeling in her heart. According to diymag.com, the artist‘s upcoming album is named after a pub that became her stomping ground after she moved to the Victoria city from Sydney. The record promises to interrogate what Julia has described as “the tension” between two conflicting desires; as she puts it: “I want to love and be loved, but I also want to be free”.
The product of a period of change for Julia, who’d left her former label and was in the market for a manager, The Gem came to life over the course of a year in close-quarters converted accommodation above the eponymous pub itself. While talking about the album’s title, she has noted that “[it] felt like a metaphor for the whole process, because a lot of it did feel like digging. I felt like I was doing it almost in the dark, just trusting I was going to find something.”
