Ruel’s Reflections
Ruel opened up about the vulnerability involved in his songwriting, stating, “It’s been pretty daunting to offer up this level of honesty in my songwriting. But seeing the way it’s already connected so personally with fans has calmed my ‘pre-album’ nerves in a huge way.”
Ruel’s “The Suburbs” is now available, and don’t forget that Kicking My Feet* will release on Friday, October 17th. Are you excited to hear more from Ruel?
