Nite Jewel

???I???m looking for a real high and a real low, isn???t that the way love goes????

The extraordinary peaks of love are incomparable, but these moments of euphoria are coupled with the feeling that they are fleeting, that conflict lies ahead or worse, inner solitude. Nevertheless, you go ahead ??? love is new every time and each time there are infinite ways to experience it and still never totally understand the story.

Drawn to the way janet. (1993) seemed at once hopefully naive about what is possible while expressing a deep understanding of love???s downfalls, with Real High, Ramona Gonzalez updates this feminine inner dialogue to reflect the increasing challenges of hyper-modern society, in particular with respect to selfhood. Within our current climate of heightened self-awareness, we become inhibited in our ability to truly lose ourselves to another person. This album offers one perspective on how it is to be vulnerable in these moments of tension.

The love song, for the artist, is not only about a relationship with another person, but also the love one has for oneself and one???s life, and one???s work. Real High looks into this paradigm, and finds more questions than answers.

Recorded over the course of four years in Los Angeles with the help of Cole M.G.N., these songs of transformational love and relentless nostalgia present the most personal, lyric driven Nite Jewel record to date. With everything from expansive, futuristic balladry (???Real High,??? ???Part Of Me???) to gauzy dance-floor hits (???2 Good 2 Be True,??? ???The Answer???), Nite Jewel???s fourth full length acts as her most focused and bold effort yet. Featuring contributions from long-time collaborators such as D??m-Funk, Droop-E, and Julia Holter, the timeless production, unique voice, and pristine song-craft of Real High create an irresistible combination that only seeks to enhance its affecting message.
