It’s been nearly a century since Albert Einstein spoke that sentiment into existence, but he never could have predicted how relevant it would become. In our present-day algorithm-inundated world, creativity is under attack: the rise of artificial intelligence, we’ve been told, will nearly eliminate the need for human artistic talent.
But what those who make these claims fail to realize is that AI, while “intelligent”, can’t have fun. True creativity requires both.
JUL!ET, a rising electro-pop singer-songwriter and a recent addition to the Lux sponsored artist roster, sits perfectly in the middle of that venn diagram in a way that few others do.
About JUL!ET
Born Juliet Daniel, JUL!ET is a Stanford graduate who found herself in Seattle for a tech job.
However, her desire to create and lifelong passion for music soon prevailed. So, she bid adieu to the safe and predictable lifestyle of an engineer and dove into the local music scene headfirst.
You can still catch glimpses of her technical prowess in her rebirth as a pop musician. Pick any track from her discography and it’s clear from the first play that she knows her way around a production booth.
And considering JUL!ET is a completely independent artist, her ability to write an impossibly catchy hook is especially impressive. It can take record labels countless hours of market research and calculated steps to create the kind of sticky melodies that seem to just live in JUL!ET’s head rent-free.
And unlike those formulaic chart-toppers, JUL!ET’s lyrics don’t come across as engineered for mass-appeal- it just works out for her that way. Full of vivid imagery and explorations of complex emotions, she speaks to the listener from a candid, unfiltered perspective while maintaining the cheerful, easygoing relatability one expects from pop. Her sound is bubblegum-esque, but not saccharine: a hard balance to strike.

JUL!ET’s Recipe for Summer Success
Hanging out with Juliet is a lot like the experience of listening to her music: sunny, bright, and easygoing.
We caught up with her poolside with a group of her friends, and it quickly became apparent that her power to bring people together isn’t limited to her creative work. Though the people in attendance didn’t know each other before they showed up for an evening of splashing around, by the end of the get-together they were goofing around like old pals.
Of course, it didn’t hurt that there were some of Juliet’s favorite cannabis products on hand, too.
Fairwinds Mental Balance grazing board and fruit kebabs
A refreshing dip in the pool needs something equally refreshing to go with it- so bring out the fresh fruit!
After cutting and prepping a rainbow of melons, berries, and more, JUL!ET added a little something extra to the mix: a healthy drizzle of the Fairwinds Mental Balance Tincture.
Its calming effects kept everyone socializing with ease, and the aromatics complimented the flavors of the fruit perfectly!
It’s also a non-psychoactive product, which made it ideal for large batch dosing- no need to worry about inconsistent effects.
Sungaze Seltzers
Stocking up on infused beverages for a pool day is an easy “yes”, but you’ll want something that’ll quench your guest’s thirst without leaving them passed out on a pool raft, getting sunburnt.
That’s what makes Sungaze Seltzers a great pick!
With dosages ranging from 2.5-10mg THC, it doesn’t matter if someone chugs the whole thing because they’re parched. You can still toss them another out of the cooler without hesitation.
Journeyman Lemonades
If you’re bringing together a bunch of friends you met in different places, chances are they have different tolerances.
Keeping some 100mg Journeyman Lemonades on hand is an easy, inexpensive way to make sure everyone is having a good time.
You could even encourage your guests to mix all 3 of JUL!ET’s picks together and make their own personalized jungle juice! Just make sure you label those red cups.
Good Tide Hash Rosin Gummies
You couldn’t pick a better edible for a swim sesh than Good Tide Hash Rosin Gummies!
These gummies come in three pool-perfect, tropical, natural flavors: mango, guava, and pineapple.
But as fitting as that is, that isn’t the only reason Juliet brought out Good Tide for this evening of summertime fun. They’re also infused with a solventless hash rosin, so you can expect long-lasting, robust effects.
If you haven’t experienced the difference solventless infusion makes, now’s the time to take the plunge!
