Julia Thomsen’s latest composition “Amour” arrived this week, and as someone who spends equal time analyzing chord progressions and runway collections, I found myself completely absorbed by this piece.
From the opening piano notes, Julia creates something that reminds me of those perfect fashion moments when simplicity becomes profound. There’s an effortless elegance here that builds naturally, much like watching a designer’s vision unfold from sketch to final garment. The way she layers her strings feels intentional yet organic, creating textures that shift and breathe with genuine emotion.
The piano passages draw you in close, while the fuller moments sweep you into something larger. Julia has a remarkable way of making classical music feel accessible without dumbing it down. Also, the piece works beautifully as background music for those contemplative summer evenings, but it also rewards active listening.
