Between The Lies

The haunting “Kill Me” is built around an ominous piano motif, and lavished with sensually expressive vocal harmonies, eerie strings, and melancholy electro-pop ambience. This is a song about the kind of love betrayal that leaves you gutted and powerless.

Kill Me

We can all relate to loving someone that has played a game at our emotional expense...the contradictory evidence in someone’s actions vs what they say, like you say you love me but you clearly don’t. You hurt me, yet “you don’t want to see me cry”. 

“See Me Cry” Julie Haven’s delightful first single from upcoming Ep is a throwback to all the best break up songs of the 90’s all rolled into an 80’s chick-flick soundtrack.

The production is the perfect foreplay for Julie Haven's eruptive vocal pay off at the end.

A piano pounding pop gem with cinematic swells, this is the perfect combo of angst and frustration whilst still being sad and uplifting at the same time.   

Produced and recorded by Stephen Leiweke in Nashville, TN.

Fool's Gold

See Me Cry

Julie Haven pours out her heart and soul in this powerful song about being unhappy and broken in a relationship. Being afraid to leave, but more afraid of being alone is a problem many can relate to. “Love and War” has echoes of late 80’s female empowerment, with it's epic drums, heavy toms, pounding piano and echoing guitar. You won’t be able to resist putting this heart- wrenching  song with it’s three part harmonies on repeat. Produced by Steven Leiweke at Nashville’s Yackland Studios, this is Haven’s 2nd single from her upcoming EP “Fools Gold” available August 2019

Love And War

Singer-songwriter Julie Haven has been safeguarding a special collection of original songs for many years. These moody, piano-based songs were forged from love, heartbreak, self-discovery, and resilience. They have been performed around the country, and recorded in many studios, yet their elusive essences have never been properly captured until now. 

Today, the Metro Detroit-based artist is sharing newly-recorded versions of this very personal catalog of stirring and elegantly enlightening alt-pop as the album, Dramatic Departures, expected for release in spring of 2024. And the timing couldn’t be more perfect: a recent breakup has imbued these songs with even more vitality. 

“It feels like these songs have been part of my life forever. They are based on true experiences, and they’ve helped me get through many hard times,” Julie says. “It seems like synchronicity that I am experiencing the same kind of heartbreak today as I went through when I wrote them, and here they are to help me get through.”

Julie is an emotionally raw but musically sophisticated singer-songwriter with a penchant for cinematic arrangements, lush orchestrations, soulful and dynamic vocals, and a flair for lyrics that are both vulnerable and visceral. Julie has garnered favorable comparisons to Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Alanis Morrissette, PJ Harvey, Sarah McLachlan, and Chantal Kreviazuk. She has performed throughout the U.S. in a variety of contexts—from coffee houses to festivals, including many consecutive performances at Michigan’s beloved Arts, Beats and Eats Festival. Previously, Julie released an album, four EPs, and a live record. Dramatic Departures, however, will be her first full-length album available for worldwide release.
