Artist Julianna Joy brings us an ambitious and risk-taking anthem, "Goldstar" that breaks the boundaries of traditional pop music and creates a cool and whimsical scene. The song is incredibly unique and stays energetic even while it discusses difficult subjects. What makes "Goldstar" stand out so much is the way all the elements used are mixed together. The production on this track is eccentric and listeners can't help but feel addicted to the song. What adds to the enjoyment of this song is its slight humorous nature. "Goldstar" knows how to have fun, even if the subject matter is not so fun.



Throughout "Goldstar," there's a clear attention to detail in the way this song has been recorded and mixed. The intro is so cool and it certainly excites listeners about what to expect for the rest of this journey. The bass line absolutely rocks as it drives itself into listeners' heads. There's a nice balance between the joyous comedic nature and the animosity of the lyrical content. This makes the song transparent while also keeping the energy alive. The chorus really emphasizes this, as the upbeat nature almost makes you want to dance, you still get a sense of the anger the speaker is presenting. Julianna Joy's sweet voice beautifully wraps "Goldstar" as she has such a smooth and angelic singing voice. Overall, "Goldstar" is such a phenomenal song because it pushes boundaries of pop music and infuses elements of hip-pop in a way that's not always heard. 


Julianna Joy is an artist originally from Chicago but is now based in Los Angeles. She released her first single "Nevermind" in 2019 which gained a lot of traction. In 2020, she released her debut EP "Cherries" which has gained over 6 million streams over the years. After her second EP "Garden of Eden" was released, her music began to be featured on notable platforms such as the Zane Lowe show, Spotify's Fresh Finds, and more. In 2023 she opened for artist Xana on tour. Julianna Joy's debut album, "Somebody Call The Firemen" is expected to be released in Spring of this year so look out for that as she's an artist you don't want to miss.
