Taylor Jules has a special talent for connecting with an audience through her authentic voice and lyrics. Her newest single "19" is Taylor's most recent release that will appear on her upcoming EP. In the song Taylor Jules captures the emotions and nuances of being the age of 19. She explains the experience of being 19 from both a perspective of joy and one that seems to be coming from a place of longing and sadness. The incorporation of the different tones towards the age of 19 make the song "19" a complex and dynamic listen. Taylor writes, "Living in a world of fantasy, when you're nineteen," which really captures the essence of the song, which is that bittersweet feeling that is relayed regarding being the age of 19.
The sonic structure of "19" allows for the message of the song to be relayed to listeners. The use of gentle piano, and faint synths, in the opening of the song, creates a tone for the style of listening this song will require. That being a listening experience where one is lead to think insightfully about the song's content. When moving into the chorus new instruments are introduced providing energy and volume for the focal part of the song. When the song enters into the bridge, listeners are given the gentle piano we were first introduced to, making us remember the reflective tone we started the song with.
