Julesy - 'Left Behind'
New York folk-pop singer-songwriter Julesy has just shared the music video for the new version of latest track 'Left Behind'.
Along with recent single "Mouthing Words," the track was originally included on This Current Self Intervention, an EP of songs written during COVID lockdown. "They were both quickly conceived as a kind of cathartic spew of songs that were pent up," Julesy explains. "I was alone in my childhood bedroom making all the tracks, so they were originally all produced by me, and consisted mostly of software instruments. When I got the chance to redo them, I really wanted to incorporate more live instruments, especially since I’ve been playing these songs live with my band for a few years now".
On the new recordings, lived-in, acoustic instrumentation is effortlessly layered with aerial electronics. The conversational lyrics take on new resonance in Julesy's flexible mezzo-soprano range, her preternatural technique allowing her to convey messages unencumbered by the haze of modern life. Strummy, sturdy verses still hover over pools of feedback and electric bass, her most direct tracks delicate homages to a myriad influences and melody-first songwriting.
Of the new single, Julsey offers: "Left Behind was the song that I made first, starting as a bassline and then the rest was added in. I was feeling super lost after graduating college during covid, feeling like I was no longer attached to anything I knew, and was really struggling to feel a sense of belonging in my own actions. I tend to be super headstrong, so a lot of the lyrics are me addressing myself, questioning my own will and my own identity. The production track was really inspired by some of my favorite artists like Imogen Heap and The Japanese House".
