Song of the Day: January 13, 2025

Continuing my Best of 2024 list, today’s song is “Sun Girl” from the album Something In The Room She Moves by Julia Holter. Holter’s sixth album is a diverse collection of avant-garde art pop where each song presents a different excursion into this type of songwriting. I always find an album like this best when listened to in its entirety because it is hard to grasp any one tune firmly, but as a whole there is a movement through the vision of the artist. Holter is a 21st century songwriter who works in the same realm that was once defined by artists like Brian Eno and Kate Bush. Music of this type has become much harder to find in the modern world of pop music than it was in the ’70s and ’80s. Thankfully, there are still some songwriters who thrive in this area of composition.
