Juliet Lloyd Releases New Song “Reno Cure”
American singer-songwriter Juliet Lloyd released a new song “Reno Cure” on June 27, 2025.
The song is the follow-up to “Wild Again”, which was released last month.
The track is an epic, emotionally packed, Americana-tinged track that sees Juliet once again dealing with the ending of her relationship.
It was written by Juliet Lloyd, Todd Wright and Kip Allen. Produced by Todd Wright, as with the previous song “Wild Again”.
Juliet Lloyd Saido the song, “I thought I was done writing about divorce. My last album, Carnival, was full of songs inspired by the experience of going through it, the aftermath, and moving on. Turns out I wasn’t quite done with the topic. Last year, I read a book about the famous 'divorce ranches' in Reno, Nevada in the 1950s. At the time, Nevada had the loosest divorce laws in the country. All you had to do was reside in the state for six weeks, and you could get a no-fault divorce.”- She continued, “So, a lot of wealthy socialite women would stay at these so-called divorce ranches where they could quietly get divorced and avoid the shame and some of the public scrutiny. It got me thinking a lot again about shame and judgement. For a long time, I didn’t even say the word out loud when referring to my own experience. I did a bunch of research about these ranches and what I found was so evocative and weirdly romantic, in a tacky old-west America kind of way. I actually wrote an entirely different version of this song a year ago and it was full of really detailed references, but it didn’t feel quite right. I stripped it back to its most abstract imagery and I think the story that comes through is even more evocative now, and I love that it exists in both the past and the present.”

She shared on social media, “The seed of this song came over a year ago, when I read a book about divorce ranches in Reno in the 40s & 50s. It's got lots of layers - like a smoldering revenge ballad wrapped in a dusty Americana shell.”
