"..Tuelo began to lay down some interestingly sumptuous songs. Each unravels in a haunting narrative (“Regarding My Heart”) & the music is chamber-like as it cruises & flows with melodic singularity...The words crest with festivity despite their implied sadness. She makes the music something to experience beyond a mere listen."

"A resonant folk rock strummer, centering on impassioned melodies and confessional lyricism. Tuelo drives the track forward with insistent acoustic chords and anthemic rock guitar lines, but the standout moments come from her plaintive and powerful vocal performance. She moves effortlessly between spoken-word pleas and ascendant, wailing high notes burnished by gospel harmonies. Meanwhile, her lyrics offer a moving portrait of loving someone unable to love themself.."

Ultimately, the track gives Tuelo the necessary space to quiet the outside noise and reassure herself of her path, desires and the brighter future ahead, acting as a crucial beacon of light. "There is so much stimulation, confusion and make-believe emerging, it felt urgent to be reminded to focus. Concentrate on the 'Green Light' – on good advice, on guidance, on the “everything is ok” sign."

With her most refined, self-assured sound to date, “Regarding My Heart” is a sweeping sonic exploration of love, loss and loneliness that allows Tuelo to proudly re-introduce herself as she carves a space in folk-rock that is all her own.

"Very rarely does a song give me full body chills everytime I hear TUELO‘s powerful single, ‘Regarding My Heart’"

“Regarding My Heart” is a powerful and soulful ballad that allows audiences to witness and listen to her story about love and loneliness with her haunting vocal delivery. As a result, she is becoming a force in the folk-rock genre!

Tuelo's forthcoming cinematic second full-length studio album, Regarding My Heart, brings together her humble beginnings with who she is today–filled with lush textures, dynamic sounds, layered strings, horns and guitars, soaring vocals and intimate lyricism. With its vivid storytelling and unbridled honesty, the project has provided Tuelo with the space to heal, listen to herself and center her voice.

Tuelo and her band in Johannesburg joins host Luke Burbank and comedian Molly Shannon on this episode of Live Wire Radio.

“Moving to New York when she was 17 with just $50 in her pocket, Tuelo had a chance encounter to audition, and that audition would lead her to her first paying gig and launch her singing career.”
