First para of the press release
In 2018, Gonzalez’s twelve year marriage dissolved. This left her alone and displaced, drifting from friend’s couch to friend’s couch. At the same time, she began her PhD in Musicology at UCLA. Gonzalez’s research on women’s musical lament practices formed a historical backbone for what became No Sun. Dating back to ancient Greece, the lament has utilized female voices as a vehicle for expressing communal and personal grief. In her research, Gonzalez considers this tradition within the context of contemporary pop divas, asking the question “What does it mean to be a professional mourner?” or to be a woman hired as an emotional vessel for a historically male composer? Gonzalez’s research considers the creative power of such singers, arguing that while often seen as visceral performers alone, these women are agents in their own right.

I prefer happy jewel to recent reflective sad jewel

i am deeply here for reflective sad nite jewel - super excited for her artistically at how she's taken her core sound and driven it somewhere you wouldn't have thought it could go? listening to that first single felt a bit like watching s3 of twin peaks - the familiar made somehow strange, the denial of expectations leading to something more deeply satisfying

I listened, sounds pretty mopey and introspective if that's your thing. A lot of songs seem to start with "I..."

Actually I like the vibe of this. I wasn’t sold on the tracks that came out pre-release, but overall I think it’s really nice. A “mature” album I guess? Contemplative and all that. But still has some of her late-night grooves.

Title track is downright jazzy.
