Jultrane's "My Sister" is a tender, timeless, and wholly intimate jazz love letter. French-Senegalese composer and musician Julien Ndiaye, also known as Jultrane, delivers a thoughtful song imbued with warmth. Written in 2009 and resurrected years later, "My Sister" is one of those tracks that sounds like they just dug up some long-lost gem from the golden age of jazz, except with a date-stamped-at-2025 self-assurance.
The song sways with the elegant flow of 1950s and '60s jazz. Sung mainly in English, Ndiaye's lyrics welcome you across the globe into his personal tale, reframing a sibling bond into something bigger, an ode to love and appreciation that knows no cultural bounds. The production sounds organic, allowing each instrument to breathe, which is a testament to the authenticity of jazz's past while still keeping everything decidedly warm for contemporary listening.
It's a release that shows the direction of Jultrane's music as heritage-rich, emotionally anchored, and cosmopolitan in outlook. It's the sound of a player who understands where jazz is from and where it can go next. With this song, Julien Ndiaye is paying homage to the timeless loveliness of jazz itself.
