She is known for her single "Lost Boy."
Sleek, chic, and honest - a voice in a million describes Ruth B., who captured the world's attention with "Lost Boy", and is now back with her latest single, "Dirty Nikes". Available on Downtown Records/The Orchard on August 28, this intimate, alluring track also signals a captivating shift in her musical style.
Fueled by chilled beats, smoldering soulful rhythms, and Ruth's quietly compelling vocals, "Dirty Nikes" explores the emotional act of letting go of an ex-love - even the minuscule reminders like dirty Nike shoes. The accompanying video evocatively portrays the shadowy, sometimes unpredictable, moods involved with leaving an old love behind. Ruth says she selected "Dirty Nikes" to be her next single because "it does the best job at capturing my evolvement and how I've grown." Her sound now leans more into R&B and soul - styles of music that Ruth has long loved. Her new music showcases the 25-year-old Canadian/Ethiopian singer-songwriter as an accomplished pianist and a uniquely gifted storyteller who writes all of her own songs. Influencing Ruth's musical growth was her recent trip to New York a year ago. "New York is such an inspiring place," she explains, "being there has definitely shot its way into my art."Listen to "Dirty Nikes" here:
