ARE YOU PRESS?
JUDE, is a project that was born in 2010, the year in which the first Ep. Characterized by instrumental tracks, the sounds range from Ambient, Dark Ambient, Electro Wave, Alternative Rock, Dark Wave, to Dream Pop.
The name JUDE comes from German, and means Jewish. Before that came homosexuals, Roma, disabled people (physical and mental) and only later Jews to persecute. For racial, hate, absurd reasons, millions of men, women and children were considered useless, inferior, different, and so one of the worst crimes we can remember in history, the Holocaust, happened.
The name Jude comes to life precisely from a reflection that starts from that terrible historical period and is against all forms of racism and discrimination.
So much so that the sound is realized through many facets; through a multitude of musical and cultural diversities that merge, ranging in absolute freedom of expression and creativity.
A project currently embellished by the extraordinary collaboration with Lemonade, an artist of Korean origin and adopted by the United States, which merges well with Jude in the creation of an Ep of 7 songs entitled "Shout" published last year, and co-produced by Nicolò Spezialetti, engineer and sound technician. An intense collaboration, that with Lemonade, which continues, then, with the release of three new singles: Sticks & Stones, Slow Down, and the last written and published during the quarantine period: Galaxies.
