The Art Of Walking Away by Juli Lee feat. DeVaux
Juli Lee and DeVaux deliver an emotionally rich house single, The Art Of Walking Away. This collaboration features DeVaux singing one of her evocative poems for the first time, set against Lee's signature deep and immersive soundscape.
Swiss artist Juli Lee is renowned for imbuing her deep house and techno productions with remarkable emotional depth. Her work, found on respected labels such as Upon You Records, MYR, and Klaus:elle, showcases a profound obsession with intricate sound design, dynamically modulated waveforms, and expansively spacious basslines. These immersive sonic landscapes have captivated audiences and seen her perform across Europe's most revered venues.
This new creative partnership isn't just a collaboration; it's the beautiful culmination of a lifelong friendship between two women who share a harmonious outlook on both life and art. The seed for this project was planted when Juli Lee, while immersing herself in DeVaux's poignant poetry, was deeply struck by one particular piece. It eloquently describes that transformative moment when an individual achieves freedom from painful past experiences, yet remarkably, without holding any regret for what transpired.
"It describes the art of finding peace and feeling gratitude for something that was and will never be again," Juli explains, revealing the profound influence the poem had as the direct inspiration for this compelling new single. The final, most intimate phase of the creative process involved the vocal melody. This was where DeVaux truly brought the words to life, responding intuitively to Juli's musical interpretation as she sang the poem for the very first time in the studio, weaving her raw emotions into the track.
The result is "The Art Of Walking Away," a truly sumptuous and evocative mid-tempo electronic house lullaby. Its sonic character is defined by the lushness of its spacious bass and widescreen pads, which glow with a genuine warmth. Twinkling melodies and deftly applied effects animate the soundscape, creating an inviting atmosphere. DeVaux's delicately delivered poetic narration adds a profound layer of depth and intimacy, her dreamy tones drawing the listener ever further into the track's mesmerizing groove. It's a piece that invites reflection, offering solace and a sense of peaceful release.
