Juliet Ivy has shared her new single ‘snow globe on an alien’s desk’.
It’s that time of year – songwriters are feeling festive. With Christmas on the way, much-tipped NYC based artist Juliet Ivy has shared an Advent treat, another look at the midwinter season.
Out now, ‘snow globe on an alien’s desk’ is a touching depiction of being alone during December; it’s about feeling isolated, while the world around you is – seemingly – celebrating.
The Colombian-Chinese artist depicts this with real grace, and it follows on from the success of this year’s fine EP.
Set to tour with mxmtoon next year, Juliet Ivy is carefully making her mark – and this new song certainly amplifies expectancy.
Juliet Ivy comments…
‘snow globe on an alien’s desk’ is the epitome of holiday existentialism. It’s about the gut-wrenching feeling of time passing as another holiday season approaches. The feeling is both scary and beautiful. It’s about how I get the most existential in the winter as I watch the world around me get one year older and I think about everywhere I’ve been and everywhere I have yet to go.
I spend my nights watching the snow wondering if this is all a simulation, what else is out there in the universe and beyond. It’s like a holiday cousin to ‘we’re all eating each other,’ accepting the fate of time and leaning into the beauty of it. As I hope for with all of my music, I hope this song reminds people to be present and grateful this winter, and always. We are so lucky to be in a snow globe on an alien’s desk!
Tune in now.
