The mastermind behind Pilgrim of Love is Manuel La Malfa, who wrote, played, and produced “Julia,” with Claudio Caroli handling the mixing and mastering. The professional sound of “Julia” is a testament to La Malfa’s talent, and it’s hard to believe that this song was recorded in just 4 hours at Brutus Vox studios, a true showcase of Pilgrim of Love’s distinctive sound that seems to just pour out effortlessly.
“Julia” opens with a sultry, romantic instrumental, a perfect backdrop for Malfa’s emotive vocals. The song’s lyrics delve into the fragility of relationships, from the perspective of a man reminiscing on a past love. Lines like “I apologize for all the lies” and “Time keeps going by, and I won’t be late this time” express the singer’s regret, but also their enduring love for their partner.
Pilgrim of Love is from London, England. He is inspired by artists like Eric Clapton and James Bay, who are just a peak of where La Malfa’s timeless sound originated. “Julia” is available now on major music streaming platforms.
