I hate discovering new songs thru Julia because I know the original isn’t gonna hit the same.

[@squarepusher645]

never new possible jamiroquai.... not new just great covers as well..

[@taylorjames9198]

I fill the same way

[@codforlife]

Yes!

[@stevekyleskmusic6538]

Yep!

[@AB-mn2mq]

Nah, majid jordan slaps all on their own!!! This is def a groovy addition tho

[@muteharmony]

This is my first time hearing this song, and now I can't imagine hearing the original version without this amazing bass line.

[@harmlesspotato2973]

Same!

[@vivael18]

first timer here as well. Original song is good but fall short. Julia's bass lines have way more vibe.

[@Nothing2Interesting]

heard this song for the first time on the radio like a couple weeks ago and I thought Julia would be covering it lol

[@MsDedemc]

That's how I am with a lot of her covers.

[@SafezoneExpert]

No more need to watch the originals :))

[@WaistBandit]

Let's drop the female prefix. Julia is the smoothest BASSIST on YT.

[@kristinjacobs9153]

Yes, yes she is. I can’t get enough of her and her covers!

[@joyphil4399]

The basslines add so much to the song that I didn't even realise it was missing

[@dilarabizkevelci8233]

Can’t believe I’m listening to this for free!

[@grace-wg3ni]

Right this should legit be on Spotify

You can donate to her Patreon if you like

i can't stop listening to her music

[@JGreyCodes]

she does it so effortlessly, pretty awesome

[@miketyler7616]

Better than the bass players in the groups she covers. Absolutely amazing talent.

[@asv2886]

Life really is divided into "watching Julia's videos" and "waiting for the next one", huh?

[@och70]

I can confirm as someone who was around in the 80's, this song has that 80's summer vibe.

[@deanroddey2881]

As soon as I heard the first part, after having read her assertion, I thought "Boys of Summer" by Don Henley.

[@timlamore8293]

Sounds like when Paramore decided to be new wave. I fuck with it

[@azac9627]

0:00-3:28 Ouuu, that's my favorite part🎶💕

[@marycolomaio6574]

I don’t always knows the song being covered, but I always listen because I KNOW It’s going to be good with Julia’s cover on it

[@Wazoox]

Yup. I often look for the original and it's always way inferior to Julia's covers :D

[@abbrown2818]

On the 1

[@edgeGabe]

I'm never know with the song. Not the sort of music I follow but it sounds good and Julia just makes it shine.

[@ElderHarryLJackson]

A five -string bass is a dangerous weapon in the hands of Queen Julia.

[@superman00001]

One of the world’s greatest bassists. No joke.

[@tzeentchling]

This bass addition makes the song SLAP.

[@Harry-cz1tv]

Pun intended?

[@gustafsone]

@@Harry-cz1tv Uh, yeah? It's pretty obvious that's what they were going for in their comment considering Julia is literally slapping the crap out this!

[@allybrett988]

i’m loving all this 5 string content

[@StarLordIRL]

Exactly

[@davidencastin5987]

I hadn't noticed she changed to a five string bass

[@allybrett988]

@@davidencastin5987 she has 4 different basses I believe!

[@h.epennypacker2598]

Fuck yea

[@kitoffour5783]

i like your pfp

[@bari1348]

I can't believe the sound you are getting out that Sting Ray. Perfectly balanced across the strings. So many professional studios fail at mixing the bass guitar and your mix is so much better than most pros.

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

To all other bass players watch Julia and learn, this is how to slap musically (when you slap like a machine gun it isn't musical so watch Julia and learn from her - this is how to slap musically).

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

@Just to watch stuff thanks mate i hate watching people showing off slapping like machine guns rattling off like noise pollution.

[@SKarthikeyan75]

@@HarleyBreakoutGuy Totally agree. That's how I feel with Mohini Dey's playing. Not only is the groove completely gone, the melody is also gone. And often these machine gun slappers cannot even maintain tempo in their attempt to play extra notes.

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

@@SKarthikeyan75 machine gun slappers have no idea they do not sound musical and they are not playing in beat and tempo.

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

@@SKarthikeyan75 i totally agree with you on this.

[@MakePopMusic]

There's something so relaxing about listening to you absolutely rip that bass 😂

[@rawsko0316]

Fr! I listen to her at work. I'm a mechanic that works in a metal building with no AC. We getting cooked but she keeps me cool with her basslines. Makes me dance while I'm working.

[@phethegoithabang4613]

Its because she plays clean bass

[@ashleybenitez3990]

RIP ASS *

[@blackemotion2779]

Juliaaaaaa she's become my favourite female bassist

[@overtone55]

Favourite period!

[@penpaperpower]

By far my favourite overall. There are some bassists on KZbin who are technically more skilled, or who provide content this is more deliberately entertaining / meme-like. But I'm yet to come across somebody who can play a narrative like Julia

[@najtrows]

She is one my favourite bassists overall!

[@JuliaAllenHesse]

She's my favorite bassist right now, and I've liked a *lot* of different bassists over the decades.

[@SSD5string]

Julia is always faithful to the song. EVERYTHING she does fits respective to the original without stepping on it. Those ghost notes are absolute perfection. Can you really call this a cover compared to the original, any original (Dua Lipa, et al.)? Her fills, HER FILLS are truly inspired. That a 20 yr. old can have such an artistic connection to anything is truly amazing. I`m glad she picked up the bass though, and not a paintbrush or a sculptors hammer & chisel, or even worse - a guitar. Did I mention that I like what she does?

[@vaninavaleria4145]

Una genia... !!!

[@longdongbongchong]

simp

[@WaltherSuk]

I play guitar and I am really offended now 😁 lol! All jokes aside, Julia is my favorite bass player too.

[@robertroman9031]

7k views in an hour since release says it all. Everyone who knows her work can't wait for the next track. Her groove is so tight she feels the music and expresses it with the depth of an ocean. Well done Julia.

[@shubasfire9507]

I just bought a new bass, SO EXCITED!!!!!

[@desireedineros1260]

Hi Julia, you made our lockdown easier. Can't go on a day without playing your bass covers! We play all of them over and over again, you know, like a tradition 😅 Also, It's summer time here in my country and this one is just perfect! Love from the Philippines!

[@Scotty5050C]

I would straight up go to a club and pay money to watch Julia pay covers...and I know I’m not alone!

[@MrTamendez]

Fo sho.

[@dxd48c]

while Julia plays bass...I celebrate how wonderful life is.

[@raheemdavidson8211]

She’s so smooth

[@johnwillis2649]

Why do I never get tired of listening to Julia play the bass no matter how many times I’ve heard the same song before?

[@ericbryan5052]

how is it possible to make an already chill song even more chill?? only Julia does that!!

[@carloscapistrano]

The artist who made this song should thank you. You managed to make their song even better 👏👊🏾💥

[@joansantiagobenavidesgomez7896]

My ears have been officially blessed.

[@alabaz]

I'm sat here absolutely melting on the couch. I see a new upload from Julia. I put it on the TV. My half-dead body gazes at the screen. Julia starts absolutely pumping energy through my speakers, and I feel alive again.

[@popupgigs]

That slap is so smooth. I'm trying to learn to slap at the moment, it's really bloody difficult. Julia makes it look easy.

[@paolorusso9077]

Perfect and clean. Brava! 👍

[@xpatsteve]

I remember the 80s well and you're right. It does feel like summer in the 80s. Nice cover!

[@FallingInTrances]

I can never hit play fast enough when one of your notifs come through. You're an absolute joy to listen to, Julia, and one of the best things on KZbin. Thank you for being you, and doing what you do. 🎸🐐

[@sonnenscheinsommer4754]

When I saw it on my phone I stopped walking ----- in the middle of a big street 😁

[@rosesarelike]

1:07 is one of the most satisfying and smoothest things I've seen on this channel

[@rayaraujo4092]

Absolutely perfect

[@JesseClaus]

Just trying to put in some time cues for my favorite parts when I realized 0:01-3:28 is just the whole song. Just some beautiful phrases that are Julia’s signatures. It is totally acceptable to respond with “Julia” when I’m asked who my favorite band is.

[@jakegondek4948]

It's impossible to pick out a "favorite part of this video." Every time I hear a lick that sounds incredible, there'll be another one 10 seconds later. Absolutely fantastic video

[@maartenvandenberg4223]

Part of my brain wants to watch julia's hands perform their incredible magic, but... I can't tear my eyes away from observing her face, careful not to miss a single expression... Wow this song leaves me gasping for air. Julia just kills it ♥

[@PieterKaan1]

Julia is sharing the gold to us Bass players. The mix highlights the bass along with a clear view of what she is doing to play it. Very Inspiring! Thank you Julia

[@UNKNWN96]

I’ve avoided this channel for literal years LOL I stopped playing bass for a while bc I lost the passion but here I am watching all of your covers, I just ordered a new bass to try and get back on the grind. Really appreciate you uploading, it’s honestly helped me get back to playing!

[@SSD5string]

I know exactly what you're saying. And she proves that you don't really need that $5K custom shop whatever, when you see (and hear) what she can do with a $300 Sterling Sub.

[@seitsen]

Can't wait until Julia lands her first major gig in the future years!

[@kevinmcinerney9552]

It's pretty special to be able to make any song better at will. She is our James Jamerson.

Slap at the lower string makes the whole song stood up (sounds wider & dynamic) by itself. Brilliant application Jules 🇧🇳😮

One take and done. The musicianship speaks for itself. Julia has never spoken on her covers because she doesn't need to!

[@carpediemarts705]

You know, she could be doing a dozen takes and two dozen practice plays. Julia is discreet. She only shows what she wants to show. Feberal bass8st discipline.

[@stijnverver]

@@carpediemarts705 lmao of course she does a lot of practice plays. Two dozen is still very very little

She usually does 3 or 4 takes and selects the best one. I read it in a previous reply when someone asked.

[@kchall5]

There are a number of really good female bass players on YT, but Julia is the queen. Her technique and feel for the song is unmatched, IMHO.

[@bungangero23]

The extra string gives the bass more "oomph", therefore making the sound juicier. Thank you for all these content!

[@flylikeabird9479]

it is wonderful how you speed up with your fingers, really a high speed now. But I like that you don't do it like many men, who just focus on showing that they are "the fastest and coolest", you do it step by step and so it looks natural, cool and effortless. THAT is really COOL! (And sounds super nice!)

[@PubUltraStar]

As usual, your delivery is on point. So smooth and funky. 👏

[@larrybell1985]

Always have to listen to the original first to see what Julia brings to the song. This one is by far my favorite. It's an average song until Julia plays it.

[@juliannathomas754]
