On That Note

NJ

Parker Wierling Season 1 Episode 193

I sat down with folk-pop singer-songwriter NJ, just ahead of the release of her debut album Different Girl, dropping April 11. With a voice that blends the emotional clarity of Lizzy McAlpine, the introspective charm of ROLE MODEL, and the pop polish of Ariana Grande, NJ is carving out her own unique lane in the alt-pop world and local Atlanta music scene.

We chatted about the creative journey behind Different Girl and her close collaboration with producer Aaron Rizzo, whose textured production helped bring NJ’s heartfelt songwriting to life. From writing deeply personal lyrics to navigating the ups and downs of self-discovery, NJ opens up about the stories that shaped this powerful debut.
