After featuring on the smooth and eclectic soul track “Stay With Me” by Lyndan James, RUVA has now released her very own single titled “925” – a soft, jazzy and spiritually warm comforting hand on every young creative’s shoulder amidst the chaos of the modern-day work drive.
“925” is that one friend, the friend that never breaks, the friend that never stops seeing the light – and what a joyous comfort it is to know that that friend is RUVA.
The track, an examination of the intense 9-to-5 workday and its effect on young creatives’ need to excel, decides rather to deny the rules of the modern age and embrace the idea that “the future is in your hands, go create circumstance”.
An artist and spiritual figure to her core, RUVA has designed a style that combines influences like Todd Dulaney and Nina Simone with the modern contemporary work of Yebba and Silk Sonic. The result is a honey-dripped record of jazz, faith, neo-soul and urban contemporary.
A tender of her own garden, RUVA has grown a bouquet of sounds and experiences that I cannot wait to hear more of.
