Ambar Lucid
Ambar Lucid’s music sounds like the moment you step out of your anxieties, boundaries, and fears
and into yourself.
The New Jersey-born and Los Angeles-based vocalist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist sheds
creative inhibitions and accesses a space of sonic and spiritual freedom where psychedelic
soundscapes amplify pop hooks, English-language verses melt into Spanish-sung refrains, or
boleros brush up against breezy stoned balladry.
As such, she issues an invitation via her artistry, extending an open hand to connect with her 2025
EP, El Jardín de Lágrimas [Nice Life Recording Company].
“Music is inherently spiritual,” she observes. “I see creativity as an expression of the divine or the
non-physical realm—which you could call ‘God,’ ‘the universe,’ ‘energy,’ or whatever portal connects
all of us. Regardless of how we interpret that energy, we still experience it. When you listen to music,
you’re experiencing something spiritual. This realm naturally manifests from making songs. As an
artist, my job is to make people aware of the immaterial side of reality we ignore. I want to spread
consciousness of it and make a connection.”
The songstress has carefully architected the foundation to connect since emerging in 2019. She
introduced herself with the Dreaming Lucid EP highlighted by “A Letter to my younger self,” which
gathered over 32 million Spotify streams and counting. A year later, she evolved on the Garden of
Lucid EP, yielding fan favorites a la “Fantasmas” and “Questioning My Mind.” Following the 2021
release of the Get Lost In The Music EP, Pitchfork proclaimed, “Lucid’s new release sharpens the
portrait of a young songwriter ravenously building a repertoire of frames for her voice.” Beyond
praise from MUNDANE, Notion, Flaunt, Pop Sugar, and more, FLOOD raved, “Lucid’s vocals are
robust and entrancing,” and OnesToWatch attested, “Get Lost In The Music is a lucid dream come
true.” She performed on A COLORS SHOW and GRAMMY.com in addition to packing venues on the
road.
In the midst of everything, she endured professional, physical, and emotional upheaval. She
amicably split with her previous management and label, left Los Angeles, and returned home to New
Jersey before finally settling back in Los Angeles.
“Coming back to L.A. was a rebirth, and it changed everything,” she admits. “I dove deep into who I
am and what I do. That kept me going to the studio and making something I could listen to while
going through these hardships. I made the EP out of survival—not financial survival, but spiritual
survival. After these transitions, the music felt more in line with the person I am today; this person is
more conscious than ever as a writer. I decided to go to school, which added new creative elements
that I didn’t have before. This project has been one of the craziest journeys of my life, but my
passion for music got me through everything.”
She assembled the music alongside collaborators such as the Wavies and Jack Lavose. She also
worked with Sebastian Torres in Mexico City. “Most of the sessions were in home studios, which I
prefer because I feel like I’m more comfortable being vulnerable,” she goes on.
Ambar opens up this world with the single “There Goes My Baby.” Cymbals simmer beneath her
gloriously woozy harmonies. Strings swell, distortion groans, and synths glimmer, and her vocal
push-and-pull alternates between English and Spanish, “There goes my baby, he doesn’t know that
he’s my baby. I know that I’m a little crazy. Es que su mira’ me mata y la mía no le hace na’. Why do
I do this to myself?”
“It was inspired by being infatuated with somebody to the point of delusion,” she reveals. “At the
time, this person wasn’t interested in me, but now he’s my boyfriend! The song was written before
we got together though. We had a good friendship. I knew he was going to be mine, but he didn’t
know.”
On “6am,” bells toll alongside a twinkling keyboard melody. Her breathy delivery instantly captivates
as she exhales, “Getting high at 6am. I just cried so much again. I need you.”
“It’s a perfect representation of how intense, complex, and overwhelming my emotions were,” she
says. “The song sums up the main issues I go through daily. It’s about bad habits and how much
distress certain desires have caused me. I’m acknowledging how my present is influenced by my
past. Usually, people wake up at 6am to go to work and be productive, but the main line here is
‘Getting high at 6am’.”
Then, there’s “Angel.” A head-nodding drumbeat tiptoes past hazy echoes, and she realizes aloud,
“Guess you really meant it when you said you have wings, an angel, you’re an angel.”
“Music creates a spiritual portal for people to go through,” she adds. “I wrote ‘Angel’ conscious of the
portal. The angels are the fans who listen to me and support me. I never feel let down by them.”
Expanding the palette, she delivers her first traditional-style bolero with “La Apuesta,” while she
collaborates with the subject of “There Goes My Baby”—her boyfriend Danny Schiller—on “Forest.”
Each song doubles as a pillar of El Jardín de Lágrimas (translating to “Garden of Tears”).
“Life is a series of ups and downs,” she elaborates. “The project is an expression of my ups and
downs. I’m sharing my most vulnerable moments, because music is therapeutic for me. It’s also an
extension of Garden of Lucid. I’m referencing a concept to link these worlds. Since I’m a big crier, it's
just a different garden.”
It’s also a place where all are welcome.
“I hope this empowers you however you need it to,” she leaves off. “I aim for it to have a positive
impact. Maybe, it inspires you creatively. Maybe, it allows you to get the cry you needed. I hope it
nudges you in whatever direction your destiny is meant to go in and you feel more connected to
yourself.”
