Sometimes, pain gives way to creation, and sometimes, that creation shines. This is the case with “Sage Advice,” the latest single from rising singer-songwriter Taylor Jules, who hopes to connect with listeners through relatable lyrics and a powerful, one-of-a-kind voice.
Whatever happened to loyalty
When I dropped everything to give you what you need
Maybe I’m better off
You’re fucking crazy after all
The lyrics of “Sage Advice” reflect the heartbreak of losing a close friendship and the emotional weight that comes with trusting your instincts, even when love is still present. It’s a raw and honest look at the kind of grief that isn’t always easy to name but feels just as heavy.
“This song is an ‘I told you so’ to myself, (…) It’s about knowing someone’s red flags but never imagining those traits would turn on you. It’s about that brutal moment when you realise you were right to be cautious—and the ache that comes from ignoring your wisdom,” Taylor confesses.
Taylor Jules shares that “Sage Advice” is rooted in the pain of losing someone she once considered family. The track reflects the emotional weight of that betrayal, capturing the complex mix of hurt, disillusionment, and the eventual reclaiming of self-trust.
Produced by Stefan Lit (Andy Grammer, One Direction) and Dylan Chambers, the track soars thanks to Taylor’s precise delivery and refined talent, elevating this R&B tune with shimmering pop undertones.
Taylor began performing at a young age. By the time she was five, she was already singing onstage and would go on to share performances with artists such as Jackson Browne, Robbie Krieger (The Doors), Dale Crover (The Melvins), and Matt Sorum (Guns N’ Roses). Diagnosed at thirteen with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, amplified pain syndrome, and fibromyalgia, she has turned those physical challenges into art.
With this release, a bold and unfiltered message of empowerment, Taylor Jules cements her status as one of Los Angeles’s most promising and honest new voices, earning the empathy of anyone who’s ever experienced betrayal.
“Sage Advice” is a perfect entry point into Taylor’s artistry, a striking introduction to an artist carving out her space in the ever-challenging music industry. The track will be part of her upcoming EP, which promises to explore the highs and lows of human vulnerability with the same unflinching honesty.
