Ruel has unveiled a new single from his upcoming album, Kicking My Feet.

About “Wild Guess”

The track titled “Wild Guess” reveals a more intimate and stripped-down aspect of Ruel’s music. This heartfelt song was co-written by Ruel, alongside Leroy Clampitt (known for his work with Justin Bieber and Madison Beer) and Dan Wilson (who has collaborated with artists like Adele and Taylor Swift). You can enjoy the song below.

Upcoming Album Release

The highly anticipated album, Kicking My Feet, is set to drop on Friday, October 17th, under Recess Records and Virgin Music Group. This release will include “Wild Guess,” along with earlier singles “The Suburbs” and “I Can Die Now.” The latter made a notable impact during its debut in New York’s Times Square on MTV, racking up over a million streams shortly after.

Visuals and Themes

“The Suburbs” is complemented by a music video filmed in Sydney, depicting Ruel’s journey through a peaceful suburban life.

Creative Process

Ruel shared that he had an overwhelming experience while creating the album, stating, “I knew I wanted to push myself on this new album, but it wasn’t until I had to finalize the track list that I realized I’d actually made over 200 songs for Kicking My Feet.”

Collaborations

He worked with esteemed producers like Julian Bunetta, known for his job with Sabrina Carpenter and One Direction, and Joel Little, who has contributed significantly to Taylor Swift and Gracie Abrams’ music.

Emotional Connection

Ruel expressed his concerns about sharing such raw emotions in his songwriting. However, the positive connection with his audience has greatly eased his anxiety as the album release approaches.

Upcoming Live Performance

To commemorate his album’s launch, Ruel has planned a special show at the iconic steps of the Sydney Opera House on Tuesday, December 9th.

Ruel’s “Wild Guess” is now available, with Kicking My Feet releasing on Friday, October 17th via Recess Records and Virgin Music Group.
