Single releases

Give in

On April 12th, 2019, the first single release of the EP was released as a single download with Gib noch nach . The song is about fear of loss and doesn't tell a specific story, but rather portrays what panic attacks feel like when you act and think irrationally.

In some scenes you can see Juno together with a woman and a man, sometimes how they are close, sometimes how they keep their distance. The total length of the video is 3:34 minutes. Arrigo Reuss directed it. The shooting took place on April 8, 2019 in Berlin.

With Automatic , Juno wanted to write a song that one would like to dance to, scratch a new genre and try something in her mother tongue that she personally wanted to do beforehand have not yet trusted. She wanted the song to have a depth that could just as easily be ignored. The piece is structured like a conversation from beginning to end , sometimes more reproach, sometimes more monologue or insight . The personification refers to the "pitch blackest" of all corners of her thoughts. Depression would come and go as they please and would have you so under control that your "normal" me in all the familiarity, in all the habit in such a "love-hate relationship" to this other version of you. Two days after the single was released, the accompanying music video celebrated its premiere on YouTube. You can see Juno, dressed in a skin-colored full body suit, dancing through a room and singing the song. In the middle of the room is a cluster of televisions.

reception

Reviews

Katharina Bruckschwaiger from the German-language e-zine Plattentests.de awarded four out of a possible ten points for the studio album What remains . She highlighted the title song as the only “highlight” in her review and described the song as a “charming pop song” with a “prancing” lead guitar and loving falsetto . The bottom line to bring all the tracks on the point, is not easy. The reviewer nevertheless tries to use the artist's rhyme style : “It's over. Mickey Mouse. You are out. Out of the house. What a pain. In my heart. That's no joke. Just a little bit of commerce. "

Stefan Mertlik from the German-language online magazine laut.de awarded two out of a possible five stars for the studio album What remains . Juno sings about stuffed hearts, pills for pain and sleepless nights. Nevertheless, it should all sound demanding. "If we collide and you in me zirkulierst" she choose to Automatically big words and directed so to the school with advanced courses German. Three years ago she would probably have written lines like this in her diary: “What does love bring me if nobody wants it?” After lonely nights with the handkerchiefs of a pubescent Internet user, the music still doesn't sound. After listening to the album, there is not much left in terms of content and music. That is a shame because Juno can also do otherwise.

Charts and chart placements

Due to the strong resemblance to the track list of Was wird , the sales of the extended play are added to those of the album.
