Rubio has been finding her place in the spotlight after writing behind the scenes for artists like Gwen Stefani and The Warning. “late night swim is a culmination of everything I am and all that I’ve learned,” Rubio said in a press release. “It’s my debut album, and I gave myself a month to finish it and insane limitations of only writing reggae and trip hop songs—two of my favorite genres that blend through their foundation in dub bass and sexy, beautiful, sultry trippy melodies. I feel very proud to have made this album with so much love and my amazing collaborators. Lester Mendez has been making music with me since Mar y Tierra. I couldn’t do it without him. I hope everyone who listens takes a trip to a magical spy girl world. Welcome to late night swim.”
