Sounds | Grace Cummings - Ramona

Kille pianoklanken, een trippy beat, de doffe klank van een tuba (?) en alweer eens die bovenaardse, diepdonkere stem van Cummings. Ramona is de derde single en het titelnummer van haar nieuwe album. Visueel een pareltje.

Ramona verschijnt op 5 april 2024 via ATO Records / PIAS

“I wrote this song and this album such a long time ago to me now,” Cummings says. “But I still question what “Ramona” means to me and why I made the decision to use this name. I suppose Ramona is a name that I have given myself, or rather, given to the parts of myself that are uncomfortable for me to think about or express, that might be sad or ugly. But this song I suppose is kind of taking ownership of that kind of truth and wearing it proudly.”

Cummings has been quietly making a name for herself with a string of impressive releases, praised by the likes of The Guardian, Pitchfork, NME, GoldFlakePaint, and NPR for her riveting, powerful voice and intense, blues-inflected songwriting. Ramona - her finest and most captivating work yet - was recorded in Topanga Canyon with acclaimed producer Jonathan Wilson (Angel Olsen, Father John Misty, Margo Price) puts Cummings’ rich vocals and dramatic storytelling front and centre.
