Indie-rock riffs laced with charm and mischievous arrangements are the cornerstone of Jewelia’s latest release, A Little Danger. The four-track EP oozes modern, polished pop production whilst also straying into mid-noughties indie-rock magic.
Spearheaded by the closing track ‘Danger’, distorted guitars and subtle snare grooves shine bright amid Jewelia’s glorious vocals, while a glowing synth motif closes earworm choruses.
Discussing the EP, Jewelia explains:
“After Little Wins, which was very much about self-acceptance, I wanted to have a bit more fun with the darker side of things. A Little Danger explores the messier side of myself: wanting to break out of the routine, being drawn to trouble, and saying things I might normally keep to myself. I didn’t even dye my hair until I was 30, so letting go of how I’m supposed to be has definitely been gradual! Writing and producing the EP myself gave me room to follow my instincts without having to explain or justify them. These songs have more bite and mischief, and I’ve enjoyed letting that side of myself out. It’s definitely a taste of what’s to come.”
Born in Bucharest and based in London, Jewelia has performed at Glastonbury and earned support from BBC Introducing. Her November mini-tour takes in London, Manchester and Glasgow. Tickets
