Julia Jacklin is the cover star of the NME Australia August 2022 issue. 

The cover story arrives hot on the heels of Jacklin’s third full-length LP ‘Pre Pleasure’, which arrived last week. In our interview, the singer-songwriter dives deep with NME’s Giselle Au-Nhien Nguyen into the childhood experiences which informed the record, empathetic songwriting, and aiming for “big feelings and big sounds” on this album.

“I always just try not to be cruel,” she says. “If I’m going to be singing about someone, it’s got to come from a place of wanting to be closer – a place of wanting to be more understood, or wanting to understand someone more.”
