I was sent this track a few months ago, accompanied by very little info about the project, other than that it featured Ramona Gonzalez of Nite Jewel on vocals. The unreleased “Heart Shaped Rock” is a sensual, dreamy, ’80s-informed bedroom jam that always elicits a big response when we play it on the radio, so I asked Jason Grier of Human Ear Music if it’d be cool to post it up. He tells us:
“Heart Shaped Rock” is from a series of songs I wrote for Ramona (Nite Jewel) to sing while we had her on tour in Europe last fall. I missed her, so I listened to her music and learned how to write for her voice.
Grier also says he and Ramona “recorded big-time fancy versions of the HSR songs” last winter, and that they’ll hopefully see release soon on Human Ear.
very very good! I’m all over anything Ramona is involved with.
Impeccable timing!
Wait a minute, this is just Run DMC’s “Rock Box” with new lyrics!
That’s what makes it cool.
