HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn., March 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 615 JJ Entertainment is excited to announce the release of Julian King's newest single ahead of his performance at the Roots Picnic.
In "Hoodie," King explores the universal theme of moving on from a relationship that just didn't work out. This new track blends King's signature smooth vocals with an infectious hook that creates an unforgettable listening experience. About the song, King says, "I knew it was over. I wanted my hoodie back, and I wanted to move on."
