Jules Paymer Shares New Single ‘The Daughter That My Mother Wanted’ ft. Miki Ratsula
Newcomer artist Jules Paymer shares their brand new single The Daughter That My Mother Wanted, featuring celebrated artist Miki Ratsula.
The Daughter That My Mother Wanted touches upon the experience of being non-binary and the difficulties that can arise with feeling like you don't belong or are letting your family down by being yourself. This message is beautifully delivered through Jules Paymer's gorgeous, expressive vocals which are packed with raw, honest emotion that instantly makes you connect with their storytelling. Backing those lush vocals we have emotive piano keys seamlessly paired with a killer bass and guitar riffs that together with their harmonies create an overall warm, emotive atmosphere.
Speaking about the song, Jules Paymer said,
Miki and I have the unfortunate kind of privilege of understanding each other that allows a song like this to exist. To meet somebody who has had such a similar experience in their gender, family, and existence is rare in the first place. To both be on this difficult journey of not only being non-binary, but also making room for ourselves in the music industry where room was never made, is an incredible thing. It can be daunting and scary being an artist trying to make real change. Being on set for the music video and hanging out with our ‘younger selves. was kind of insane, it was hard but at the same time, very healing. No one was writing about these topics. I wasn’t able to find the artists or songs that I needed when I was discovering these new truths about myself. Growing up, the only artists I could look to were confusing to me; they were flamboyant caricatures. I thought I was alone with my sadness because they didn’t show me theirs.
This storytelling is perfectly embodied by its accompanying music video, directed and edited by Talia Stewart, which you can check out below!
