The Artist Formerly Known As YouTube Ukulele Girl has a new EP, and there's no ukulele in sight. Lots of drum machines and synth bass.Definitely a new direction for her.

And bathtubs. Lots of bathtubs.

Maybe the ukulele is in the bathtub with her?

Had a listen, and my overall impression is atmosphere over melody. Mostly sparse electronics. One song with acoustic guitar ("Not True"). "Feels Good" is mostly hip-hop. My favorite is "Used To Want" which is kind of new-waveish R&B and danceable, much like Duran Duran's last couple albums. This is a million miles from her early stuff. I think my favorite she's put out was the Pomplamoose-produced "I Think You Know" EP, for its rich instrumentation and hook-filled tunes.That was 9 years ago.

I'm curious to see where she goes from here. She launched the Kickstarter in January of 2017, promising delivery in 1 year. 2 1/2 years later, she only delivers 6 songs. She'll always have a special place in my heart for those 2007-2010 YouTube videos, but she's moving into areas that may alienate her original fans in a quest to find herself. AND THAT'S OK.

Here I am with her at a 2010 show.

Thanks for the review and your overall impression. Nice photo - what's up with the dude in the background ?
It looks like he sees something that's really troubling him.

It's probably my arm around her. Julia's fans can be pretty possessive,

New video released for "Used To Want," which, as I said above is the strongest track on the EP. No bathtubs this time. But an oddly-cropped sweatshirt.
