New York Artist Zuli Jr. Discusses New Album, Social Media

 

Zuli Jr. wants to know who you put your faith in. The New York native is using his upcoming sophomore album Stop It God. to explore the inextricable link between our perception of self vs. how we are perceived through social media, and how much control technology can take away from us.

 

In this interview, we sat down with Zuli and talked about his smooth single ‘Blue Sky’ and how it ties into the greater theme of the album:


“‘Blue Sky’ was written at my breaking point, I was completely lost yet keeping up appearances on social media as if everything was better than ever. Losing my peace of mind, while trying to use likes and comments to fill a hole and reinforce my self-worth. The song and video reflects on this facade we all put on in one way or another. The perception of ourselves we put out into the world and embracing the vulnerability of actually being.”


Stop It God. comes out on May 14th via Nurtured Ideas.
