Twenty-year-old multi-instrumentalist, producer, and songwriter Julien Chang releases his remarkable debut album Jules today. The self-produced, self-recorded and almost entirely self-performed record has already earned praise from the likes of Elton John, Clairo, Annie Mac at BBC Radio 1, The FADER, Billboard, Stereogum, The Guardian, Paste, Dazed, DIY, The 405, and more– give it a listen to hear why.
To celebrate the release of Jules, today Julien Chang shares his first-ever music video for “Memory Loss.” “The Memory Loss video was shot by Haoyan of America. The vision was totally his, arrived at after spending some time talking to each other about the song,” Chang explains. “That’s what I wanted to do when we first started looking for video directors—find an artist that I trust and have them commit to their own path of inspiration. I think a lot of music videos require the visual artists to bend to the will of the musician. It was really exciting to see Haoyan work as an artist creating something that both augmented my song and stood on its own an independent and magnificent visual piece.”
