OVERVIEW
Released on April 10th, This Is a Kindness marks the debut EP from JULITH — a striking introduction built on emotional honesty, vulnerability and unapologetic intensity. Across seven tracks, the alt-pop record explores survival, accountability and feminine rage with songwriting that feels both deeply personal and painfully direct.
One of the EP's strongest qualities is how JULITH balances those themes with versatility in both performance and production. Her vocals move effortlessly between soft, airy restraint and more commanding, emotionally charged moments, giving each track its own identity.
This Is a Kindness is engaging throughout, with layered vocals, textured ad-libs, shifting rhythms, and genre-blending that pushes beyond alt-pop conventions. Even at its most polished, the EP never loses the rawness at the core of its songwriting.
"You can't love the monsters out of men" - MONSTERS OUT OF MEN
STANDOUT TRACKS
MONSTERS OUT OF MEN
One of the EP's most devastating moments. Opening with an a cappella introduction, the track slowly builds from soft, breathy vocals into something far more powerful before returning to that same delicate vulnerability by the end. Tackling abuse, domestic violence and survival, it's an incredibly raw and intimate performance.
"To think that I was a child, and you were too
If only one had a future, then it was you" - MONSTERS OUT OF MEN
CUT FROM THE SEQUEL
Built on biting sarcasm and unapologetic female empowerment. JULITH channels anger into sharp, explosive defiance, giving the track a bold and theatrical edge.
"Leave it to a man to make a woman turn evil" - CUT FROM THE SEQUEL
WILL SHE / WON'T SHE
Simmering feminine rage wrapped inside soft melodies and vocals. as JULITH speaks her truth, layered harmonies and ad-libs gradually build tension before the rhythm intensifies during the bridge, turning restraint into release.
"I'll take you down with me" - WILL SHE / WON'T SHE
