The latest single from Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Julia Kate, “Be Nice Princess” is rebellious with a cute flair. This song is the sound of honesty, humour and quiet fire smouldering behind a polite smile. "Be nice princess" is a light, sharp and very human love letter to self-respect. It’s also a hushed song for anyone who is discovering “nice” doesn’t have to mean “quiet”.
Julia welcomes her listeners to an approach which allows for vulnerability and kindness to walk alongside confidence and boundaries. Her infectious pop songs and personal, heartfelt story make it easy to do that. The song is a perfect snap of the bittersweet tug between who you were and who you’re becoming that growing up involves. Her voice is warm and nostalgic, but it also carries a new sense of strength that won’t mould to someone else’s wishes.
Nick Rosen and I had written “Be Nice Princess” when we were bored one day and just wanted to make something fun. This was the kind of boring that leads to saying something true. The track feels like a late-night whisper between friends, with one finally fessing up that she’s had it with the charade.
The song “Be Nice Princess” has clever lyrics entwined within a modern pop sound, so it sounds old and new simultaneously. It’s a gentle defiance in musical form. Julia Kate doesn’t just sing about finding her voice; she finds it. She shows us that it’s all right to have boundaries, expand and leave behind the people and habits that no longer serve us.
