Julia Jacklin shares new single "Lydia Wears A Cross," announces third album Pre Pleasure
Jacklin sings about Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar in the lead single
Melbourne singer-songwriter Julia Jacklin has shared the opening track to her Crushing follow-up, Pre Pleasure. In the music video for “Lydia Wears A Cross,” directed by frequent collaborator Nick Mckk, Jacklin sings about Jesus Christ Superstar from Split Point Lighthouse in Victoria.
“The song is about a lot of things, but mainly being a 7-year-old Jesus Christ Superstar fanatic attending Catholic school, trying to figure out which way is up,” Jacklin says of the new single.
“A lot of the time I feel like I need to do all the work before I can enjoy my life,” Jacklin continues. “Whether that’s work on songs or sex, friendships, or my relationship with my family—I think if I work on them long and hard enough, eventually I’ll get to sit around and really enjoy them. But that’s not how anything works is it. It’s all an ongoing process.”
