Julian Daniel’s latest single, “do you feel me?” is a hauntingly tender exploration of love and its lingering aftermath, delivered through a seamless blend of indie pop and cinematic storytelling. With every note and lyric, the track wraps you in its rhythm, capturing the electricity and ache of unresolved feelings.
At its core, “do you feel me?” is a confession—a melodic sigh of longing that feels as intimate as a secret whispered in the dark. Opening with evocative imagery (“Your jacket still hung in the closet / Your sock still mixed up in the laundry”), Daniel draws listeners into the quiet aftermath of a love that refuses to fade. The instrumental arrangement mirrors this intensity, balancing warm synths and soft percussion with a driving beat that makes the song feel timeless yet achingly modern.
What elevates this track even further is the addition of Sofia Mills, who lends her voice and perspective to the second verse. Mills’ verse, written in just 15 minutes, perfectly complements Daniel’s, offering a dialogue that transforms the song into a deeply layered narrative. Her delicate yet resolute delivery feels like the counterpoint Daniel’s yearning needed, creating a balanced portrayal of love’s complexity.
Inspired by both personal and secondhand experiences, “do you feel me?” captures the universal pull of nostalgia for relationships past, weaving its emotional depth into a melody that’s as memorable as it is relatable. Julian’s ability to evoke vivid cinematic moments through his music is undeniable here, and it’s no surprise that his sound draws comparisons to artists like Troye Sivan and Charli XCX while maintaining a distinct voice all his own.
Since his 2019 debut, Julian Daniel has steadily built a reputation as a rising force in indie pop, and “do you feel me?” is another testament to his growth.
From viral hits like “Lemontree” to his standout live performances in iconic venues like The Peppermint Club, Julian continues to prove that his star is on the rise. This single not only reinforces his artistry but also cements his ability to connect with listeners on an intimate, visceral level.
Whether you’re looking to relive the bittersweet memories of a past love or simply lose yourself in an irresistibly beautiful track, “do you feel me?” is a must-listen. With its delicate touch and timeless appeal, Julian Daniel’s latest offering is sure to leave its mark.
