Julian Young - Angels Calling My Name
Artist: Julian Young
Producer: Epik
Album: Tomorrow's Promised
Label: Unsigned
In the history of a doomed relationship, there comes a point when one can no longer shake off the feeling that things really aren’t gonna work out. Typically, that comes before the other person stops taking your calls, but, hey, denial’s a powerful thing. On new single Angels Calling My Name, Booth newcomer Julian Young (formerly known as Thundaz) gives us an in-depth look at that awful moment, as he experienced it. A rolling, 12/8 piano-guitar groove courtesy of Epik sets the mood as the Brooklyn-born, Harlem-raised emcee looks back on the good times he spent with his current girl, before turning his gaze to the storm that lies ahead. While he wishes she’s stay by his side, her reaction to the emcee’s pleas (“...I hit you up and you pick the line, like ‘Why the hell are you still wastin’ my time?”) makes clear that the prospects are grim. At the very least, the agile flows and melodic chorus vocals should make the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship with Booth readers – or have I got it twisted? If you like what you’re hearing, there’s plenty more where this came from on Tomorrow’s Promised, released last summer and out now online.

We receive thousands of submissions per month from indie artist looking to gain new fans through our online platform. Sadly, 75% of the submissions are either a) incomplete or b) not very good. Luckily, though, there is another 25%. Julian Young's first Booth feature fits nicely in the latter. "Angels Calling My Name," which has been "out" for a few months, will be new to 99% of the listening public - a public that will thank us for months to come. This will bring smiles to faces... promised.

Looks like its unanimous. This is the kind of song that radio would love, but doesn't have "I made this solely for radio play" written all over it. Hopefully the next time I turn my dial I'll hear this instead of Fly Like a G6 twelve times an hour.

I had this on repeat three times before I decided to comment. This has the feeling of a Andre 3000 track. The retro pop guitar production is nice and JY sounded like he was completely at home. Good move in changing from Thundaz.

Dope track from an artist who I am just now hearing of. There were parts of the song that seemed a little off to me, but the majority of it was very pleasant.

I guess I'm the odd man out here, but i envisioned a slower based, more soulful mood for this track.

This is pretty dope from Julian Young. I can see this banging on the radio real soon. This is a really interesting, enjoyable song. Nothing i havent seen before tho. The production from Epik is really great. This song will have a lot of good feedback.

Some serious feel good music. The light-hearted, catchiness really sucks you in.

Nice, I was messing around on my iphone while the track was loading, until the beat dropped and caught my ears, not bad at all. Never heard of this dude before but keep it up, good, easy to follow rhymes...
