Honest and Hypnotic: It Was July Delivers a Stunning Confessional with Sunday School

"I always try to be very honest in my writing. I think that vulnerability helps a track stand out". These are the words of an Illinois-based singer/songwriter and producer who goes by the name It Was July, and they're words we could not agree more with! The song in question is the artist's latest single Sunday School, a tune offering a poignant reflection on her dealings with religious trauma in adulthood. 

"From a young age, my self worth was reliant on how dedicated I was to my faith," says the musician. "Realizing, as I got older, that belief system wasn't for me, I was left lacking identity and purpose".

Sunday School is a release of catharsis and unfiltered truth, wrapped up in a luscious and immersive soundscape that amplifies the track's message. It's instrumentally dreamy and highly inviting, and the artist's angelic vocal performance just seals the deal on a song that turns pain into poetry with effortless grace.

Offering listeners a glimpse into her journey of self-discovery and resilience, It Was July has created an absolute gem of a tune that's already completely stuck in my head. I can't wait to hear more!
