Julie Bergan is taking her electro-pop adventure to the next level with the release of HARD FEELINGS: Ventricle 2.

This marks the second chapter of her “Hard Feelings” project, filled with songs about how Julie has been feeling over the past year.

Julie Bergan is the daughter of two music teachers, and was surrounded by instruments throughout her childhood. She signed with Warner Music Norway when she was 18, and earned the attention of international audiences with her chart-topping single “Arigato.” In 2018, she was featured on Alan Walker’s global hit “Ignite,” and her debut album Turn On The Lights went 2x platinum.

“The two volumes of ‘Hard Feelings’ are a collection of all the feels I’ve had over the last year. It goes from being blessed with a broken heart to just wanting to be out there on the dance floor and kiss somebody. I have worked a lot on allowing myself to actually get to know my own feelings and through that process I created these two EPs. In different ways they both describe what has been going on lately. The good and the bad.  In one moment you feel low, alone and heartbroken, and in the next one you feel free, strong and it’s like you’re coming up for air. That is totally okay and absolutely normal, and I guess it’s just what life is about. Also, as a female in 2020 I really hope I can inspire other girls out there to speak their mind, be confident and believe in themselves. We’ve been oppressed and underestimated for way too long. Let’s be girls who support girls!” – Julie

Tracklist:

1.One Touch

2.Kiss Somebody (feat. Seeb)
