Contributing WriterThe record features DeVaux singing one of her poems for the first time
Swiss artist Juli Lee brings real emotional depth to her take on deep house and techno, featured on labels such as Upon You Records, MYR, and Klaus:elle. She is obsessed with sound design, modulated waveforms and spacious bass, and has taken her immersive sounds all around Europe. This new creative partnership is the result of a lifelong friendship between two women who share a similar outlook on life and art. While reading a selection of DeVaux’s poems, Juli Lee was struck by one in particular that describes the moment a person becomes freed from painful experience, but without any regret for what happened.
Says Juli, who used the poem as inspiration for this single, “it describes the art of finding peace and feeling gratitude for something that was and will never be again.” The vocal melody was the final phase, during which DeVaux responded to the musical interpretation of her words and thoughts as she sang the poem for the first time in the studio.
‘The Art Of Walking Away’ is a sumptuous mid-tempo electronic house lullaby. The spacious bass and widescreen pads are lush and glow with genuine warmth as twinkling melodies and deft effects bring the soundscape to life. The delicately delivered poem adds depth, and its dreamy tones draw you ever further into the groove.
Juli Lee feat. DeVaux’s ‘The Art Of Walking Away’ comes on Black Stellar Music on July 30th 2025.
