Jutes Share Video For 1975 Cadillac Coupe DeVille Inspired 'Cruella'
(align) Jutes is putting a new spin on the typical love song with "Cruella," a new single inspired by one of his most prized possessions: his 1975 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, affectionately named Cruella DeVille. The track, out now, will also appear on the deluxe edition of his latest album Chin Up, Beautiful, arriving December 4 via Position Music. Arriving alongside "Cruella" is the official music video.
Built around imagery of white walls, cherry-red leather, and late-night drives, "Cruella" personifies the Cadillac into a larger-than-life character. With lyrics that blur the lines between romantic infatuation and a love affair with his dream car, Jutes delivers a distinctive take on the traditional love song, paying tribute to the car that finally made its way into his garage.
"Cruella" opens with a dreamy electric guitar that sets a hazy, hypnotic tone as Jutes' sultry vocals draw listeners into a slow-burning, seductive groove. Halfway through, the guitar drops away, giving way to a heavier, drum-driven beat as Jutes shifts into a more rhythmic, rap-inflected delivery. Heavy guitars then crash back in as his vocals grow more intense, showcasing the track's balance of atmospheric melodies and an explosive sonic edge. As the song comes full circle, the driving guitar and drums remain, while Jutes returns to the melodic, signature vocals that have become a fan favorite.
"I wrote this song about my dream car that I finally own. My 1975 Cadillac Coupe DeVille that I call Cruella DeVille" Jutes shares about the song. "Sometimes you need a new angle to approach writing a love song so you're not too predictable, haha."
Jutes recently wrapped his North American headline run, Smile You're On Tour with more than 90% of the tour selling out, including shows at New York's Irving Plaza, Chicago and Dallas' House of Blues, Toronto's Danforth Music Hall, Los Angeles' The Wiltern, and more. Continuing his global momentum, Jutes will make his Australian debut as an opener for Dayseeker, with the tour kicking off in February of 2027. The run will mark Jutes' second overseas tour, following his headlining Far From Dilworth tour, which wrapped in May 2026.
