With her newest single, "Lie Like This" Julia Michaels arrives in a bright new light, bringing a delightfully cheeky care to the tune, giving it equal parts sassy and confident flair. Michaels allows herself to express physically like never before, and dance becomes a principal device of the narrative alongside presence.
The centerpiece of this release is a retro-60s-inspired music video, perhaps even an indication of taste maturity or artistic risk-taking. Michaels herself stresses that this is about pushing the boundaries of how far away she can get from home with her pen, the kind of carefree, a little cheeky, performance driven version of her art.
''Lie Like This'' is a crossroads on the artistic ladder, at the corner of risk and confidence. Julia Michaels delivers an experience, one that feels pre-planned, pretty looking, and utterly extra.
