Recent Eagle Rock transplant Jordana Nye arrived on the music scene with 2020’s Classical Notions of Happiness, an album of lo-fi pop and hushed folk songs recorded in her then-Kansas bedroom. She’d be back by the end of that same year with Something To Say To You, a compilation of two EPs featuring craggy indie rock and brokenhearted acoustic fare recorded in NYC with friends. By 2022 she was swinging for the fences with the pristine pop of Face The Wall, all while shuttling back and forth between Brooklyn and her soon-to-be new home of LA collaborating on projects with a who’s who of Gen Z music: Magdalena Bay, TV Girl, Yot Club, Paul Cherry, Dent May, Inner Wave. “Through all of these releases, it’s so cool to see which eras I’ve gone through and what I’d experimented with,” says Jordana. “I don’t think I’ll ever settle on a specific sound. I’m just a chameleon.” So her surprising fourth LP, Lively Premonition, which is equal parts Laurel Canyon folk and shimmery yacht rock, should actually surprise no one. “Maybe it’s my LA record,” she says. “I can’t pinpoint exactly what affected it, but I do think the sun has its beam on me.” Recorded over the course of a year with close collaborator Emmett Kai, the album owes a debt to Carole King, The Mamas & The Papas and Hall & Oates or Steely Dan.
