Ruel’s Transformative Journey: Discover His New Hit ‘Kicking My Feet’
## Ruel’s New Album: A Bold Step Forward
Ruel, the talented artist from Sydney, is embarking on an exciting new chapter in his career. On October 17th, he released his highly anticipated second album, *Kicking My Feet*, through Giant Music. This album serves as the follow-up to his successful debut, *4th Wall*, released in 2023.
## A Blend of Genres and Emotions
The 11 tracks on *Kicking My Feet* showcase Ruel’s growth as a musician. At just 22 years old, he blends emotional transparency with a diverse sound that has propelled him from a teenage prodigy to an internationally recognized artist.
Ruel collaborated with a notable lineup of producers, including Julian Bunetta, Kenny Beats, Dan Wilson, Taka Perry, and his long-time collaborator, M-Phazes. Each contributes to the rich sonic landscape that defines the album.
### The Journey Through Love
Leading the charge is the single “Not What’s Going On.” In this track, Ruel confronts the remnants of past relationships—those lingering emotions that can haunt, heal, and ultimately help shape who we are.
“I had the clearest vision I’ve ever had going into making this project,” Ruel explains. “With no restrictions, I was certain about how I wanted it to be perceived and the artist I wanted to become.”
### Reflections from Previous Singles
The album also highlights earlier releases like “Wild Guess,” “I Can Die Now,” and “The Suburbs,” where Ruel channels the deep vulnerability that comes with heartbreak and self-exploration. These songs reflect a powerful coming-of-age narrative, encapsulating the essence of someone discovering their place in the world.
## Visual Storytelling in “Wild Guess”
Accompanying the album’s release is the official music video for “Wild Guess,” featuring actress and comedian Mary Beth Barone. Directed by Jackie Zhou, the video brings a humorous twist to the Wild West theme, following Ruel and Barone as ex-lovers navigating their tumultuous past.
“I was thrilled to play the ex of a 22-year-old in this music video,” Barone shares. “It’s a significant moment for storytelling in our culture. Ruel is incredibly professional and kind, making the experience enjoyable.”
## Now Available for Fans
Ruel’s album, *Kicking My Feet*, is now available through Giant Music. The emotional depth and rich soundscape reflect his journey as an artist and individual.
