#NEO SINGER TV#
Everything changed when living legend Tom Jones – who describes Ruti’s voice as a “breath of fresh air” – hit the buzzer and spun his chair around, landing her a spot on popular TV singing show The Voice. In fact, the track “Racing Cars” was developed from “Fall Asleep”, the very first song Ruti ever wrote “The song was about finding yourself in a hectic, fast paced world, overthinking and anxiety – a lot of things that I was experiencing at that age,” Ruti explains.ĭuring her second year at Sixth form college, Ruti’s world had flipped from part-time carer in full-time education, to prime-time television. The songs she wrote at that time would later form the foundations of future releases. Studying music during Sixth Form, Ruti’s confidence began to grow as she made her first forays into playing electric guitar and songwriting. “In life people would probably describe me as a nervous person,” Ruti says, “But on stage it all goes away.” Later she’d shake off her nerves about performing live, playing Motormouth Mabel in a theatre group production of Hairspray. That year Ruti only sang Adele songs in front of people.

Adele’s 21 was the first album she sought out for herself and actually paid to download for her iPod Touch. Ruti sang solo in public for the first time at 11 years old, during a nerve-wracking open mic event singing Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep”. Practically overnight millions of people knew the sound of her celestial tones, but they hadn’t properly been introduced to the real Ruti – until now.īorn and raised in Essex – her Dad is Nigerian, her mum from the UK – growing up, there was plenty of gospel and ABBA playing in the household. It’s seen her go from Sixth Form student, to prime-time TV and the top of the charts in a flash. Ruti’s story is all about finding her voice. A self-described “seasonal person”, Ruti’s laid-back summer-infused new tracks glow with confidence, providing a rich soundscape for her leftfield melodies and soothing soprano. It feels like Closer to you has been on it’s own little journey but I love where it is now and can’t wait to share”Īrriving a year after the release of her 2019 iTunes chart topping debut EP, Racing Cars, and two years after her similarly successful debut single, “Dreams”, Ruti returns with a fresh collection of reflective and intimate neo-soul flavoured jams. Then I brought it up in a session one day and everyone really vibed with it and we wrote to it so easily. Speaking on the track, Ruti explains “I had the guitar riff for closer to you saved as a voice note for literally months, I was just completely stuck for concept and lyrics. The single is the first track of a 4-track EP to be released later this year and it stands as an impressive entrance into the project, allowing Ruti’s name to sit comfortably amongst fellow female risers Celeste, Pip Millett, Arlo Parks and Mahalia. “Closer To You” is a gently meandering neo-soul offering with Ruti’s dulcet tones backdropped on bed of breezy production at the hands of Wayne Wilkins, known for his work most notably with Beyoncé and Leona Lewis.
