Julie Slim turns the shadows into light on new release “One More Day”
Julie Slim’s new song, “One More Day,” is a potent reminder of how to stay alive, be strong, and celebrate the small wins that come with the decision to keep going. What started decades ago as an instrumental piece, “April Morning,” by pianist Shawn Ellison, has grown into a deeply personal collaboration that reveals Julie’s emotional landscape.
The original piece had a lively rhythm and complex textures that created a musical landscape. When Julie and Shawn got back together in 2017, they worked together again, and the song came back to her, quickly stealing her heart. As the song went on, its progression became increasingly tied to Julie’s own story.
Julie grew up in the beautiful Mediterranean city of Beirut, but her life changed a lot when she moved to Allentown, Pennsylvania, where the seasons change a lot. She had been worried for a long time that she might have Seasonal Affective Disorder, and the long, dark winter days started to have a significant effect on her. The seasons slowly became a landscape she had to cross with care and purpose.
Julie Slim’s voice is both soft and firm, wrapping around her music in a way that makes it sound as if she’s open to being hurt. The song has a slow, steady beat that makes you think, hope, and stay calm. It honors the bravery it takes to face a new day and the work it takes to deal with changes in your feelings. “One More Day” is a piece of art that is based on people, made with honesty, and meant to make people feel better.

JAD4TRONX captures signature sound on “How Do I Let You Know”
JAD4TRONX serves up a masterclass in modern R&B with his newest offering, “How Do I Let You Know,” which combines West Coast feels and forward-thinking electronic-soul sensibilities. It’s a sound that honors his roots while radically expanding what R&B can feel like in 2026. The music is arranged with such surgical precision that every note has room to breathe while maintaining momentum that draws listeners back into the groove.
At the core of the track are Zamora Knight’s vocals, which infuse each lyric with raw honesty and palpable emotion. Her delivery is both intimate and commanding, gliding through the song’s peaks and valleys with precision. The push and pull between the production and the vocals lends a fragile tension that suits how one describes what can’t be described.
“How Do I Let You Know” is a diary entry, an extension of the openness she has built into the multihyphenate identity all her own, but nestles itself within the type of future-forward R&B soundscape that JAD4TRONX has become synonymous with.
