Summary

- Music video for "I Hope" features cinematic power ballad
- EP includes tracks that "didn't work" on previous albums
In a move to share some of his forgotten musical gems, veteran singer-songwriter Julian, 62, is set to release a 4-track EP of demos from the late 80s and early 90s. The EP, titled "I Hope", will feature tracks that Julian loved but couldn't find a home for on his earlier albums.
The lead single, also titled "I Hope", is a cinematic power ballad that Julian describes as being about "hoping [love] never ends." The music video for the track, which PEOPLE exclusively premiered, features Julian playing the keyboard in a red-and-black-lit room with his band and trippy shadow images.
According to Julian, the decision to put together this EP came after he became an independent artist following years tied to larger record labels. "Putting an EP together was fun," he says. "It reminded me what music was supposed to be about, being inspiring, fearless and not stressing about the results."
The other tracks on the EP are "Because...", "Keep on Searching" and "I Won't Give Up." The EP was mixed by Adrian Bushby and produced by Justin Clayton and Julian, with contributions from Andrew Watt and Louis Bell.
