She Is Jules' latest song "Dizzy Spells" was written while she experienced vertigo as a side effect of a new medication. The lyrics are very reflective of her internal and mental state as she wrote the song. Her lyricism is powerful, sitting comfortably between unique storytelling and raw emotion. There is a high level of relatability to the lyrics. Even if indirectly, the song makes it easy to attach personal meaning and experiences to the lyrics. Beyond dizzy spells, it also showcases the strong feeling of anxiety. With the lyrics, She Is Jules uses sensory details that puts you as the listener into her shoes. She vividly shows how overwhelming it can be to control anxiety once it is continuously spurred on by something uncontrollable, like chronic illnesses or dizzy spells. The lyrics "When my pulse speeds up and I'm barely breathing / I'm in this crowd, but I wanna leave it / Can you tell that I'm overheating?" sat with me after listening. Her natural talent for writing such impactful lyrics is what sets "Dizzy Spells" apart and makes it memorable.
"Dizzy Spells" is a very fitting name for the sound of the song. The music in the background feels something akin to whimsical. The beats and other added noises feels a bit playful. The song sounds like it belongs on the soundtrack of a movie or series. It has this addicting sound with a calming but fun vibe. It creates a cathartic listening experience from the slower start to the beat drop that introduces us to the chorus. It becomes a bit livelier during the chorus, propelling the consistent thrumming beat in the background into a jumpier sound. At the bridge, we are riding a calm wave where She Is Jules' vocals take center stage. We get to hear her smooth, saccharine vocals as it leads us to the end of the song. Once you reach the end of the song, her voice, the strumming guitar, and the beat leaves you feeling revitalized.
