#Listen to Julia Jacklin’s New Song “baby jesus is nobody’s baby now”

Julia Jacklin has shared a new holiday song called “baby jesus is nobody’s baby now.” It comes with a music video that Jacklin co-directed with Nick Mckk. Find that below. Jacklin said in a statement:

2019 was a pretty rough one for my family. I was touring the whole year carrying a lot of guilt for not being able to be at home. Singing super sad songs every night was a blessing and a curse depending on the day. I was imagining Christmas as being this time where we all came together again and took a collective breath but then the bushfires hit and my family live in the country so it was a direct threat. I was living in Melbourne, still pretty new to it, and wasn’t able to go home, the roads were blocked and my family were being evacuated periodically for a month. At one point Melbourne was blanketed in smoke from the fires, the sun was this menacing red, it felt apocalyptic and pretty hopeless. I wrote this in my room looking forward to 2020, hoping it would be a reset of some kind lol.

Julia Jacklin’s most recent full-length Crushing was released last year. In October, the Australian singer-songwriter released two new songs, “to Perth, before the border closes” and “CRY.”
