Ready to Leave

Something in the Room She Moves

Ocean

Sincere and warm, the dreamy folk-pop of Julia Logan finds her beauty in small moments of human longing—to connect, to love, to understand. With a voice at once both comforting and piercing she seems to be calling for simpler, slower, and more forgiving times in a world that seems to be careening out of order. Growing up on a small Swedish island outside of Stockholm, she got her start singing in a local church choir. After spending a few of her teenage years in southern California, where her mother’s from, she learned the guitar from a local hippie and started writing. 

Teaming up again with her producer and co-writer Daniel Bengtson (First Aid Kit, M Ward, James Yorkston), Julia’s music explores themes of personal fears and changes, isolation, loss, getting older, hope, and finding your place in the world.

“I wrote Top of the World with my producer Daniel Bengtson in his studio. It came from a conversation we had and a piano melody which grew into a song. The song deals with personal changes and fears, depression, getting older, and navigating societal expectations. We recorded the demo with only piano and a guitar and wanted to keep that sparseness in the final version and not overload it with production. I think we captured the sonic mood we we’re going for — and I think the song is a good introduction to my next chapter for the new album.” - Julia Logan

Julia Logan's new single 'Top of the World' was released on March 22nd 2024

Top of the World

Julia Logan - Top of the World

Singer-songwriter Dora Morelenbaum is Rio’s most beguiling voice right now. As a member of Latin Grammy award-winning supergroup Bala Desejo, she has enamoured worldwide audiences – energising ecstatic dancefloors and concert halls with a particularly ebullient brand of MPB. On solo turns, meanwhile, Dora’s honeyed vocals and sophisticated compositions have drawn comparisons to Joyce Moreno – 2021’s gentle debut EP Vento De Beirada garnering international admirers, extolling its elegance and expansive beauty.

It is, then, as an already coveted member of Brazil’s new wave that the carioca announces her debut solo album Pique (Mr Bongo, 2024). On Pique, we hear an already accomplished Dora at her most emboldened.

Preserving the grace of her debut EP, but imbued with new-found groove and a gargantuan-sounding band, Pique is a vivid and exceedingly fun first full-length album. While there certainly remain moments of serenity here, Dora’s debut album finds her in a more dynamic mode – as a commanding bandleader, a curios composer and an exuberant performer. In her own words, “Pique was an album made in motion and ended up being about just that.”

Pique’s sophisticated compositions do indeed shift and swing – from sumptuous soul to evocative MPB, through jazz, funk and disco. And, at each dextrous turn, an animated Dora is a compelling frontwoman – buoyed by playful production, courtesy of fellow Rio star and co-producer Ana Frango Elétrico.

Release on Mr Bongo in partnership with Coala Records (Brazil) and Think! Records (Japan).
