Julius comes out of the gates strong with his intro and then the song kind of has a letdown when the vocals come in. The vocals were fine and I really loved the instrumentals behind him. The intro just doesn’t make sense with the rest of the song. The intro starts strong and makes me think something almost grand is about to happen, when in reality the song’s energy completely changes and I am left hanging high and dry. He should’ve either made the rest of the song fit his intro or made an intro that fit the rest of the song. Julius has great potential. Once he works out the kinks and rough music blending he’ll be great.

“Falling on Hard Times” instrumentality does have a grandiose feel to it. Julius’ voice is one that has a storyteller tone to it that would work well with rock or folk music. I enjoy his voice and after listening to the single it is one that grows on you. The ending is a little harsh, but otherwise I liked the overall song and would be interested in hearing other songs by him – Richard
