Dallas, TX musician Juliana Madrid already has one great single, titled "Jamie," out this year and today, she's got another called "Telephoning From Safari." There's some twangy blues-driven guitar licks that recall the Police, bright synth splashes, and a spidery bass. Madrid's vocals are as soothing as a cup of tea with honey, but danger lurks in the lyrics: "Why’re u going to risk your life/ Just hopping to find/ Another civilized way to get wild."
“‘Telephoning from Safari’ is my take on modern technology and human disconnection,” Madrid explained. “Social media started as a really gorgeous and easy way to connect with family, friends, and strangers, but now it seems to have replaced real-life interaction altogether. I think more and more people are unknowingly trapped behind their screens. It’s easier to ignore/feel desensitized to the chaos around us than to empathize and create meaningful relationships and experiences. This song is an attempt at putting a spotlight on that chaos.”
