Julia Jacklin Drops A New Clip And Names Her Album Tour Supports

Still soaring from the release of her impressive debut album Don’t Let The Kids Win a month ago, which received feature album status and accolades just about everywhere you looked, Julia Jacklin has just dropped the video for its contemplative title track.

“‘Don’t Let The Kids Win’ was the last song I wrote for the album,” Julia says, “and it ended up being the title track. It sums up the theme of the record nicely and where I was in my life at the time, doubting everything but a bit too tired to let it get to me too much… Just kind of going well, yeah, I’m freaking out about getting older and running out of time but so is everyone! So just sing about it, move on and keep working.

“I filmed this video in a hotel in the Blue Mountains with my high-school friend Nick McKinlay, who shot all of my early press photos. We hung out there all day with my little siblings and my grandparents and my mum. It was a pretty nice way to spend one of my days off from tour, we just ate snacks and made them look into the camera occasionally.”

Having supported Marlon Williams in the US and about to return from a European tour with Whitney, Julia has announced some supports of her own. Joining her on her upcoming national tour will be some cracking emerging talent in Morning TV (Canberra, Newcastle, Sydney) and Gabriella Cohen (Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney), and you’ll also be able to catch her on a stack of festivals early next year before she heads off overseas once again.
