An atmospheric pop tune that’s ready to tug at your heart. 

Shanghai-born artist Julius Black is a multi-talented artist with a unique sound that instantly captivates. “Blending sculpted melodies with enveloping atmosphere, Julius Black sings with a sensitive, tender voice that molds itself to his moody music.” The creator grew up listening to The Beatles and first began writing his own songs when he was 17-years-old. 

Some of his previous releases include songs like “Bodies,” “Android Baby,” and “100 Weeks.” Julius Black’s latest drop is the pop single “Time,” along with its official visualizer. On Instagram, the artist stated, “wrote this in a cold January watching 2001: A Space Odyssey going through a breakup.”

Offering up a hypnotic blend of soft instrumentals and emotive beats, “Time” creates a haunting, immersive backdrop that beautifully complements the tune’s heartfelt narrative.  Lyrics like “Darling, where have you been? / I can’t seem to reach you this evening” and “Don’t have time / Time to kill / I picture you in the arms of another” intimately reflect on heartache and lost love. 

Fueled by its soft, emotionally stirring vocals and a wonderfully moody, melancholic sense, Julius Black gifts us with an atmospheric pop tune that’s ready to tug at your heart. So press play and experience “Time” in a way you’ve never experienced it before.
