Ambar Lucid

With a youthful voice that moves quickly between delicate, jazzy, and assertively soulful, Ambar Lucid is a singer, songwriter, and producer with a seductively off-center sound. Combining folk-styled fingerpicking, atmospheric electric guitar, dreamy electronics, and occasional horns and beats, her full-length debut, Dreaming Lucid, saw release in 2018. The more sonically muscular Garden of Lucid followed in 2020, and she incorporated a stronger Latin and R&B flair on the next year's Get Lost in the Music EP. Lucid continued to explore a dreamy mélange of stylistic influences on singles such as 2024's intimate "Truth Is So Loud."Raised partly in the Dominican Republic and mostly in the New York City suburb of Little Ferry, New Jersey, Ambar Cruz mixed Spanish and English lyrics from her earliest shared songs under the alias Ambar Lucid, including the 2017 viral acoustic track "A Letter to My Younger Self." That song and others were collected on the album Dreaming Lucid in early 2018. She returned in mid-2018 with the EP Mi Historia before her song "Listen" was featured alongside tracks by Jaden Smith, Clairo, Princess Nokia, and others on the soundtrack to the film Skate Kitchen, released later the same year. By that time, she'd begun playing shows in and around N.Y.C. with a backing band. A pair of singles arrived in 2019, followed in early 2020 by Lucid's second album, Garden of Lucid. Although that record experimented further with genre, elements of Latin music and bedroom rap came into sharper focus on the five-track Get Lost in the Music EP in mid-2021. She continued to develop her sound in hard-to-pigeonhole directions on singles including 2022's "Timeless" and 2024's trippy "Truth Is So Loud."
