The multi-cultural melting pot exposed her to a community of collaborators that set her on a path to finding her sound: finely-spun, nocturnal pop dreamscapes.
Coming from a family of dancers, Ida Just had been drawn to expression and performance. Though singing in choirs as a child allowed her to hone her crystalline vocals, it was only in her early teens, after years of confiding in her journals and channelling her emotions through poetry, that she discovered the euphoria of singing her own words.
Her debut single, “I Don’t Wanna Be Your Friend” is an exercise in catharsis, seeing Just confront her feelings about a fragmented relationship in the wake of a break-up. ““I Don’t Wanna Be Your Friend” is a song about being stuck in limbo. It was the first time I was honest with myself and how I was truly feeling. It was the beginning of accepting the situation and made me realise that I had to be completely transparent with my emotions if I were to ever feel better again.”
Ida Just materialised her vision for her debut release with Danish director, Dolcerocca. She intended for the visuals to reflect her homeland and its identity, filming on the outskirts of Copenhagen. Just wanted to capture a dichotomy of perfection and destruction; fragility and aggression. The dream-like universe built of dramatic, natural landscapes accentuates Just’s intention of showing just how unnatural the relationship was when stood in contrast.
