A Girl Called Ruth

A Girl Called Ruth is a, sort of Welsh, multi-national singer/songwriter from London just starting her big push. A lot of young female singers have passed through these pages on their was to the charts, or the bin, and we’d like to think we have developed a knack for spotting the ones who have a fair chance of ‘making it’. We’d say A Girl Called Ruth has a better chance than most, her début single ‘You I See’ is catchy and slick. It’s got that standard mid-tempo safe Pop feel, but is youthful enough not to get lost in the noise.

You can catch the video for ‘You I See’ here, it’s good track that has really grown on us, but it’s a bit too Folk Pop for these column inches (yes, we do occasionally like music that falls outside this webzine’s remit), however there are two pretty dope reMixes we think out reader will dig. Our favourite is a smooth Disco-House mix from Young Favourite, who works the vocal perfectly, switching the mood from introspection to out-and-out anthem and alongside Young Favourites dance groove A Girl Called Ruth, or Ruth as we are going to be calling her from now on, starts to sound a bit Sophie Ellis-Bextor, no bad thing. Nixon offers up a warp bassed breakbeat track with an ominous tone. Whilst, obviously, we’d be secretly hoping that A Girl Called Ruth busts out some ElectroPop for her next single, in general, A Webzine Called Electronic Rumors quite likes this.
