JACQUELINE TUCCI WANTS TO TACKLE THOSE LATE NIGHTS AND ENDLESS THOUGHTS IN “KEEPS ME UP”

For when counting sheep fails and tossing and turning prevails, Jacqueline Tucci will be there for you. Exploring the depths of her mind through hypothetical questions and reliving hard situations, Tucci explores this relatable agony through her explosive new single, “Keeps Me Up.”

The song immediately kicks off with a wonderfully fuzzy bass line, paired with blissful, bright guitar tones. It is almost reminiscent of surf rock, with a melody as soothing as a lullaby. Stirring, crashing drums can’t help but move along with the intensity of the song, complemented by the satisfaction of a distorted guitar. 

Tucci explores rerunning the same old scenario in your mind until it becomes etched into your thoughts. Wrestling with unfinished business, her restless thoughts keep her both trapped in bed and in her own mind.

While simple, the lyrics' repetition serves as a reminder of the inquisitive energy that comes from staying up late at night. The question of “How do you feel about it?” wraps around her mind until she eventually drifts off to sleep.

Tucci’s indie vocals perfectly mesh with the mid-song guitar solo, which echoes her wandering mind through an emotional progression. Each instrument comes together to perfectly capture the achy feeling, both in mind and body, that being paralyzed from sleep feels like.

Jacqueline Tucci explores the terror of reliving memories through simple lyrics and explosive instruments. “Keeps Me Up” is a punchy, raw track that puts listeners directly in the moment of irritation a sleepless night brings.
