Julia Wolf – Pressure
Hot off the heels of her “In My Room” single hitting the #1 Spot on the Viral US Charts and amassing an impressive 14M streams on Spotify alone, the sensational Julia Wolf returns today with news of her highly anticipated album Pressure, out May 23rd via AWAL.
The Long-Island-born, LA-based singer/songwriter is also sharing her new track “Jennifers Body,” which is set to appear on the forthcoming record.
Never a stranger to getting vulnerable on record, Pressure was born out of necessity. After the release of her 2023 trap-pop-inflected breakthrough Good Thing We Stayed, Wolf felt under siege by shoulds coming from the industry. She should have achieved more by now. She should look a certain way. She should stick to a prescribed sound even if it doesn’t represent where she is as an artist. “I wasn’t feeling seen or accepted,” Wolf says. “So I wanted this album to really express the emotions that came with that: the soft doubt, the lack of confidence, the comparing myself to literally everyone that breathes. This was my chance to really lay it all out and be the most honest I’ve ever been.”
Pressure is rawer, heavier, and grittier — swan-diving through emo and shoegaze, metallic textures, and shredded electronics, and putting her evocative Evanescence-inspired vocals to work over an always shifting soundscape of feelings-first music. Produced by Scro with additional production and input from Cody Tarpley (KREWELLA, Siiickbrain), Lynn Gunn (PVRIS), and others, the record is an enrapturing journey through dualities — a celebration of dark meets light, of piercing pain that leads to relief and catharsis. “It’s called Pressure for a reason,” adds Wolf. But while lesser artists might buckle under the weight, Wolf feels it differently: “Pressure is what sets me free.”
In support of the upcoming album, Wolf will be spending much of 2025 on the road. This month she is joining Artemas for a string of dates before kicking off her Pressure World Tour in May. The North American leg will include stops in Austin, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto, Boston, D.C., and Nashville. Wolf will also head to Europe and the UK for headline dates later this Summer and Fall!
