Washington D.C.-based singer-songwriter Julien Xuereb returns with ‘Ta Route’, his first release since his acclaimed sophomore album in 2023.
The new single blends soulful grooves with some tight, upbeat Carlos Sanata-esque guitar work, creating an emotive and uplifting anthem that showcases Julien’s mastery of both classical and contemporary styles.
Opening with a warm and emphatic sense of joy and energy, ‘Ta Route’ seamlessly fuses elements of classical guitar, rock, and pop into a poetic journey of sound. Its intricate yet accessible arrangement mirrors the song’s reflective message about life’s unpredictable twists and turns, while the polished choruses brim with optimism and resilience.
Speaking about the single, Julien explains: “‘Ta Route’ is a song that reflects on the unpredictable and chaotic journey of life, emphasising the beauty in its mysteries and the strength found in embracing uncertainty. The idea for the song came to me while I was driving. Inspired by the motion and rhythm of the road ahead, melodies began to form in my mind.
This piece is deeply personal, drawing from my own experiences of navigating life’s twists and turns. It serves as a reminder that our path is unique, often unclear, yet filled with endless possibilities. The lyrics encourage resilience and self-expression, urging us to take control of our journey and move forward with determination, even through challenges.
With a mix of poetic imagery and a sense of hope, ‘Ta Route’ aims to resonate with anyone who has felt the chaos of life but chooses to embrace it as part of their growth. It’s a celebration of perseverance and the courage to trust the road ahead.”
