On The RCRD: Nite Jewel
.jpg)
Nite Jewel, the project of LA's Ramona Gonzalez, explores the fine line between all-caps POP and textured sonic moods. On past work like the excellent Am I Real? EP, she found hooks in murky, lo-fi puddles, but she's really graduated on her latest effort One Second Of Love. As expected with a more confident, acclaimed artist, there's no hiding behind anything this time around.
We got Gonzalez to go On The RCRD to tell us about how TLC started her music journey, the influence of magical realism and why it's best to just ignore the world when you're making a record.
