Embrace a Musical Change - Explore Psych Folk

They say that music is an art form embraced by all but gifted to few. Most of us embraced that fact after watching one season of American Idol! Not everyone who believes themselves musically inclined actually are. But as of late, a new artist has emerged onto the music scene with a sound that’s so unique and enchanting, you will find yourself actually becoming involved in the music.

When was the last time you actually listened to a song? Most of us always have music playing in the background, or blaring in the car, but we fail to truly absorb the artistry behind the sound. In fact, some of today’s music is downright stressful. Far too many people have chronic migraines but ignore the fact that they spent the afternoon listening to death metal at a million decibels! We hope you’re ready for a change!

If you’re interested in finally listening to some music you can appreciate, consider looking into some of the new up and coming artists in the genre of psych folk. Yes, you heard it right, psych folk. We can guarantee that you will find yourself truly engaged and sucked in to the music, the lyrics, and the enchanting voice.

One such artist goes by the name of Julien Alkei. Critics rave “Julien Aklei's psych folk music brings you into new states of consciousness through her enchanting voice and the imagery produced by her lyrics. This is music you deeply listen to, not just music you hear. Her music truly defines Psych Folk, folk music that brings you into altered states of consciousness.”

We were amazed by the creativity behind the sound and even more astounded by some of the truly visionary lyrics Julien has penned:
Never saw no yankee curls curled half as tight as you Mountains that surround me now aint half as hard as you. & I’m waiting on your lady disguise waiting for the glint in your eyes that could tell me where the cool vat grey of your bullets lie. Your fingernails are sharp as knives & you love to lay your hand on the shirt of a man till you find out what’s inside you sit & spin you’ll never win you sit & spin you told everyone I was the devil’s son but the devil lives down below i’ve seen you there with the comb in your hair when you’re coming back from the glow & the time ticks by in your thighs & the curls hang down in your eyes & the string on your ankle drags back to the chamber where my hot black daddy lies..


If you’re ready for a new musical era, consider the music of Julien Alkei.
