Staying true to his musical DNA, Jul still manages to breathe new life into his sound. According to the rapper himself, his music now reaches as far as Sweden—proof that his world knows no borders. In France, his influence is undeniable: from Marseille to Paris, countless artists draw from his style, crafting their own “Jul-type tracks”.
Jul is “Nostalgic”
The instrumental production of the track is handled by Jul himself, remaining loyal to his independence as an artist. As revealed by a journalist during a studio report, the Marseille rapper can create a beat in under ten minutes—a rare talent born from instinct and discipline. On “Nostalgique”, autotune is still present, but the textures are softer, the melodies more introspective. The festive energy gives way to reflection: a more personal, yet still unmistakable Jul.
In this song, Jul delivers a heartfelt reflection on the passage of time and the emotions it brings. The video, filmed in Paris by Kespey, stands out from most of the artist’s visuals usually centered around Marseille. It shows the rapper cruising through the streets of the capital on his motorbike, greeting fans in a dreamlike atmosphere. The visuals alternate between studio shots and dark backgrounds, giving the whole piece the feel of a modern fairy tale. Kespey—who also directed “Beaux quartiers” by Landy and “Laisse tomber” by Iliiana—delivers a refined and intimate visual narrative.
