Family Feud’s first single, “Carolina,”is essentially a foil to today’s release. Upon release, the track received tremendous support from WXPN, 1883 Magazine, Ones to Watch, Vanyaland, Sheesh and many others, along with editorial support from Spotify’s Fresh Folk, Next Gen Singer-Songwriters and Spring Acoustic, Apple Music’s Acoustic Chill and New in Singer Songwriter, and Amazon’s Breakthrough Folk. Her newly inked deal with RECORDS was also shared by Billboard.

Over the last couple of years, Pratt has seen her influence bubbling up in Philadelphia and beyond. After a serendipitous online encounter that caught the attention of fellow Philadelphians and indie-folk giants Mt. Joy, the artists joined forces for the intimately aching “A Little Love.” With that new wind under her wings, she then went on to release her Two to Tango EP. Her stunning live session for WXPN and opening for Brandi Carlile, The Revivalists and The Head And The Heart, mixed with her ever-maturing songwriting, have primed Pratt for the release of her upcoming EP.
ABOUT JULIA PRATT
Julia Pratt understands the bond that binds us to our family. Chosen or blood. And if you’re willing to take the first step, your experience could be the perfect bridge for connection. “The world is full of painful, beautiful experiences, and I share them to heal myself, to build connection, to fight the loneliness,” singer-songwriter Julia Pratt says with a knowing smile. On the 23-year-old’s new EP, Family Feud (due May 10 via RECORDS), Pratt dissects her own heart, her complicated relationship with her father, her experience as a woman of color in America, and lays it all bare on the operating table in the hopes that you’ll feel the courage to do the same.
Pratt’s experience as a woman of color plays into the EP’s wary eye to the past. Between not feeling Black enough for her mom’s side of the family or white enough for parts of Southern culture, Pratt’s youth was full of a questioning and internal conflict—what surely must have been a terrible weight to carry, but manifests in the EP’s powerful self-inspection and her present conviction of identity.
Over the course of Family Feud's five tracks, she explores pains and memories without ever wallowing, instead propelling Pratt’s innermost feelings into captivating slices of musical catharsis. “I'm at a place now where I'm okay with who I am,” she says. “You can claim me or not claim me, but I'm here.” And with enough time spent with this inspirational and thrilling EP, listeners might just be able to reach that same conviction.
