With "Better," Julianna Joy proves she’s a force to be reckoned with—bold, commanding, and fully in control.
At just 23, Chicago-raised, Los Angeles-based artist Julianna Joy is making some serious waves in the alt-pop world, and her latest single, “Better,” is proof that she’s not just arriving, but truly evolving. The third release from her highly anticipated debut album, SOMEBODY CALL THE FIREMEN!, set to drop this summer, "Better" is anything but ordinary.
What started as a high school-era track has now transformed into an unforgettable sonic journey: part science fiction dreamscape, part emotional gut punch. With overdriven guitars, pulsating Gaga-esque bass synths, and a vocoder-laced edge, Joy effortlessly fuses theatrical pop with raw alt energy. It’s got that Billie Eilish mystique, that PVRIS intensity, but above all, it’s giving Julianna Joy in its most unfiltered, commanding, and fully realized form.
Naturally, we couldn’t resist the urge to dive deeper into what went into creating this track, and what fans can expect from her long-awaited debut. We’ve got an exclusive interview lined up where Julianna talks all about the process behind “Better,” how her sound has evolved, and the bold artistic vision that’s driving her forward. Trust us, this is one conversation you don’t want to miss.
The full interview is coming soon, but in the meantime, you can dive into the sound that’s already reshaping the landscape of alt-pop.
Stay tuned, this is just the beginning.
