Julia delivers a sound that is quintessentially French, blending the sophisticated pop sensibilities of the 80s with a sharp, modern digital finish. Her music is characterized by a breathy, almost whispered vocal delivery that manages to be both intimate and detached. It is the sound of high-fashion melancholy, where every synth line is perfectly placed and every beat is designed for a stylish, mid-tempo strut.
What makes her truly distinctive is her lineage. Being mentored by the legendary duo of Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, she inherits a specific sonic DNA: cinematic arrangements, provocative lyrical themes hidden behind pop hooks, and a lush, layered production style that feels expensive and timeless. She occupies the space between a wide-eyed ingenue and a calculated pop architect.
Start with her debut album 'Passe... comme tu sais' to hear the full breadth of this collaboration. The track 'S.E.X.T.O' serves as the perfect entry point, showcasing the blend of playful electronics and the sophisticated, slightly mysterious aura that defines her career.
Julia Fiquet (born 24 September 2001), known mononymously as Julia, is a French singer. At 13, she participated in the second French season of The Voice Kids (broadcast on TF1 in 2015) and thus came to the attention of Laurent Boutonnat. When later he and Mylène Farmer were looking for a new girl to record a song they wrote together called "S.E.X.T.O", they chose Julia. In 2020 they released the Julia album Passe comme tu sais written by Farmer/Boutonnat. On 16 February 2022, she was announced as one of the contestants of Eurovision France, c'est vous qui decidez !, the French national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, with the song "Chut" ("Hush"). She had a small acting role in the 2024 film Queens of Drama (Les Reines de la drame).
