Nite Jewel – One Second Of Love

One Second Of Love marks a change for Ramona Gonzales from the lo-fi electronic haze of her previous recordings, as she has decided to polish her sound and given us an album full of crisp beats, sparkling synths and warm, alluring vocals. This is 90’s era synth-pop brought to the modern day, and many of the songs are just as fit for mainstream radio play, as for an edgy party in Nite Jewel’s native LA.

iTunes: Bruce Springsteen – Wrecking Ball
